Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You guys don't enjoy it at any level? I'm a movie guy. And not immune to the whole glitz and glamour hubbub. So it's exciting, even if some of the judgements made are utter shit. Maybe I'm extremely superficial or something. Maybe I just really want an Oscar....

Thor 7,495 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Nice choice! For me, however, Harris will always be Dr. Doogie, as much as he has tried to distanciate himself from that image over the years.I enjoy the Oscars, mostly because I'm fascinated by the whole phenomenon of big-time, global film celebrities gathering together under one roof. Seeing them all together. The show itself -- and who gets the prizes -- I'm not really that interested in. I'm kinda shallow that way, I guess.

Uni 306 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember watching them all through the night in my teens. They seemed importantThat was you too, huh? I used to wait in anticipation of Oscar night. I got to know the films, the people behind them, the nominees. I remember being so uplifted when they announced a great winner (which, I suppose, means one I agreed with). I felt like I was there with Kevin Costner the night he won for Dances With Wolves.And then . . . it stopped. I don't know exactly why or how, but they're just not like they used to be anymore. It feels like they do fewer great tributes to the magic of cinema in general, which was a great feature back in the day. It's become very political, very dry, very by-the-numbers. Kinda like movies in general—as Lucas was pointing out in that other thread. Maybe that's related to this. It used to be a big thing when edgy and innovative movies were being recognized by the Academy. These days, you can tell who's going to be nominated, and who's going to win. There are fewer surprises (though we do get them from time to time—Jennifer Lawrence's moment definitely recalled the days of yore).I've always loved movies. And make no mistake, I still watch the Oscars every year. But nowadays I approach them with emotions lying somewhere between dread, melancholy, and indifference.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah I used to be invested in them, did bid pools and predictions with friends, tried to see everything before the show aired. Now it's just something I casually watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
