Oscar Who?

Last night was the most important and spectacular event of the year, the beloved Academy Awards. While most blogs, articles, and etc will be posting about the awards today I will choose the high road of posting about why I didn't watch the Oscars this year and why I'm glad I chose not to.

First off, I turned on the radio this morning to learn that the biggest Google search thusfar, post Oscars, was Angelina Jolie's right leg. Really? Like we have never seen that before? What about Tombraider? Mr. & Mrs. Smith? I'm sure there are many others...that leg gets around, big deal.

I also heard that the movie rightfully entitled for Best Picture of the Year, Best Director, and Best Actor, was unfairfully ignored. That movie is of course The Muppets. Yes, I'm serious. That was the best movie of 2011.

Instead of the Oscars I chose to be classy and tune into Celebrity Apprentice to see who was on the show. While I recognized some faces on the men's team (Penn from Penn & Teller, Clay Aiken), there was only one face I recognized from the women's team...Theresa from the Real Housewives of New Jersey. This season is packed full of reality TV 'stars' and since I don't have time to watch every single reality show, I guess I will remain confused as to how these women became famous. Especially this woman, who I could tell thinks she is attractive but infact looks like a model for plastic surgey gone wrong.

The "Big" Game

Don't know if you've noticed, but saying "S.B." is strictly forbidden in advertising. Yes, radio, tv, and etc can say things like "The Big Game" but they cannot utter the title of what is happening this Sunday. Also, they can only say that New York and New England are playing but can't name the teams. This, to me, is utterly hilarious. Being a Ravens fan, you can't expect me to look forward to Sunday or call it a Big game at all. Infact, I expect record low ratings for the game. As for who I'm rooting for, well, Go GIANTS! Not because I like the Giants...but because I hate the Patriots! Even though I must admit that my favorite moment during the Ravens/Patriots game was when Brady got upset and put his hands on his hips and moved his head back and forth, just like a scorned woman.

I knew he had the rep for being feminine, but I had never witnessed it firsthand before that day. I did teach my cat how to sit like him...

As for the Ravens, well I heard we aren't getting a new kicker. I guess in some way I have to respect Billy Cundiff for being brave enough to stay in a city where everyone hates him. Especially Baltimore, since 1 in 5 people (or more?) carry weapons.
