Just have never been all that interested. I know Billy Crystal did some funny stuff a while back.

These prima donnas get WAY overpaid AND they need to give themselves awards? 

Billy Crystal's a prima donna?
  

''Mime is money!''

I saw a photo still of that old makeup lady walking up to the stage to accept her award, dressed a little "non academy awardy" shall we say, and the looks of mockery and disrespect on the narcissistic Hollywood luvvie-darlings in the audience just said it all for me. I think they're mostly just ****s with no sense of humility and offensively pompous and I hate them. Not a big fan of the movies and never have been.

The Academy Awards is not all just prima donnas. Comedian Louis C. K. gave a great award presentation for Best Documentay Short. A very funny tribute. Link below has his presentation:

i guess that makes you curmudgeon of the day!
 

So far I've seen two rebuttals to my prima donnas comment, but neither were about the actual recipients of the awards (just a couple of comedians who were allowed to present awards to others), so I'm stickin' with my assessment! 

I don't think I have either. I turned on the Red Carpet show for about five minutes... long enough to hear them mention two things I consider to be abominations.
Back in the late 50s and early 60s it was a BIG deal at our house.
I could care less about rich people who think that because they can pretend to be other people. People who actually did something, gives them some sort of wisdom... is well, just stupid IMO.
 
I think they are all thespians!

I found out this morning that they had held that event last night. Did I miss anything ?
