My Thoughts on the Oscars are Meaningless, Just Like Yours.

The blogosphere as the kids say, will be filled to the tits with thoughts, comments and opinions on the Oscars. So I am going to skip back to the two hour pre-Oscar show I had watched. The funny thing about it was I couldn't stop watching it. It was horrible and a complete and utter waste of time but I was drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

I watched e-Talk with Ben Mulroney, Tanya Kim, and Lainey. Ben was working his horrible hair cut on the red carpet begging for interview scraps while Kim and Lainey were perched in some sort of bell tower. Watching Ben besiege red carpet goers couldn't have been more awkward. You know when you are trying to get a girl's attention at a bar, and everyone around them hears you except the actual person you want to speak to, so you keep trying and it starts to look more and more pathetic until you start to realize its pathetic too, but your so desperate you sheepishly keep trying? It was kind of like that but worse.

Half the people had no idea who he was and he was insistent on greeting them with "Nice to see you again" which prompted nervous smiles from the various celebs while they quickly racked their brains to see if they should know who he is. Then they kept cutting to the two dimwits in the tower who would rip on the better looking chicks outfits as if they were they be all end all fashionistas. Who the fuck is Lainey and why would her opinion mean anything to anyone? Why is she even their? People wonder why networks and news papers are in the red, it is because they are paying big bucks to hacks for fashion up dates and potential red carpet frenemy clashes.

I am almost positive neither one of these girls have seen more than three of the movies and probably didn't understand more than one of them. Lainey went on ad nauseum about all the parties she has been to this week, and who she saw. She really did nothing but pimp her blog. And it got me thinking...Who cares? Who cares what they have to say? Their opinion means nothing to anybody. I'm a sucker to see who looks good and who will be making the worst dressed list, but other than that I couldn't care less about what Lainey with no last name thinks about anything, let alone if she thinks Sarah Jessica "Dee Snider look a like" Parker needs to "step it up" in her wardrobe department.

We all want to believe we are special and what we have to say is important and has value. The hard truth is this is just not so.
