 Since I am what I consider a 'movie nut' I watch the Oscars every year and I can say without a doubt, that each year it is on, it has gotten progressively worse. Maybe it is the coddling to certain factions of the movie industry, maybe it is just the fact that there are no more, what we refer to as 'classic Hollywood stars' anymore, maybe it is just the movies that get nominated are really not that good. I guess there are multiple reasons, but I think I watch more for the outrageous fashions than anything else. I will watch tonite but it really won't hold my interest as it used to.
