Yes, the Oscars are dull. They are getting duller by the year. For me, the predictability of the results was a big factor. It wasn't until Crash won that I sat up and said "What?" I knew every winner down the line until that moment.
I really enjoy reading Cintra's comments after the Oscars. I have looked for them every year for the past few. I love her biting insights.
I do have to disagree with a few of her comments however. Personally, I don't think we need to see any more skin or nipples of the ladies in their gowns. I find the post Janet Jackson necklines to be quite lovely. After a while, all that flesh gets as boring. And annoying.
And, although Klute was a great movie, I am hoping that Hollywood has moved on a bit from focusing on women as prostitutes. The movement coming not from a censorship perspective, but from an enlightened one. That's probably naive of me, but I've had my fill of Hollywood hookers. Can women do something else for a living in the movies?
