To be clear, I didn't pick anyone at Third or here. I'm noting this due to the awards themselves. Especially after weeks of no programming on television with the exception of Fox while the other two networks looked like cheap ass Hampton Inn and Days Inn engaging in price fixing on room rates as they refused to counter-program for the month of February.
And for those wondering about our Academy Award theme at Third:
or why I'm noting this here?
The Winter Olympics was slammed down Americans throats and that's why the following posts went up last week:
"Bruce Dern is my pick," "Alfonso Cuaron for Best Director," "I hope Catherine Martin wins Sunday night," "Best Documentary," "i'm rooting for julia roberts ...," "Best Actress: Judi Dench," "The Missing Picture," "Bradley Cooper," "Oscar food in the Kitchen," "Leonardo" and "Matthew McConaughey"
If they're going to force feed the country the Olympics, the feeling was that, in this community, we'd build up the Academy Awards because the arts matter.
