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.
