The Academy Awards are on

The Academy Awards are on right though, but rather than go through the usual "who won and who should've won" list, I will pose a different question: "Who cares?" I have never been able to understand why people watch hours and hours of pre-awards shows and the final 4 hour bore-a-thon ceremony just to see what outfits other people are wearing. In the long run it doesn't matter what awards any of them win, it does not impact my life in the least. Whether or not Lord of the Rings wins any award doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed it, and even if Moulin Rouge wins 10 I will never in a million years sit through the whole thing. Then there are the "analysts" who sit there and ooh and aah over a piece of fabric that someone else picked for Nicole Kidman to wear. These analysts, keep in mind, have no other career than talking about what more successful entertainers are wearing. I, on the other hand, am watching Major League. This movie won zero Academy Awards, but is damn funny anyway.

I thought yesterday was Casino Night, but it turns out that it isn't until next week. If you recall, I did the exact same thing last week with Dave Barry, who is actually coming tomorrow night. I think I am going senile in my old age.
