Why is the Oscars also called the Academy Awards? Truly… I really don’t care. The Oscars is a glitz and glamor meeting for overly paid people coming together to have others brag about them. Also, I do not understand why people win they say, “I want to thank God for this opportunity.” How come it’s OK to thank God when they win, but they never blame God when they lose like “why God, why have you forsaken me. From now on I’m praying to Satan.” I myself am not really into the whole God craze. I agree with Ricky Gervais when he said at the end of the Golden Globes “I want to thank God for making me an atheist.”

The event is a sort of marketing tools for the actors. Why do you think they come in expensive clothes and jewelry, which is given to the actors by those companies? When they sit there in anticipation hoping that they win and then they don’t. Have you seen the looks of the losers? Actors have such fragile egos. I would have liked to have Ricky Gervais host the Oscars, but of course the actors might cry. Honestly, I would rather spend three hours watching “Intervention” then watching the Oscars. Watching the Oscars might lead to me needing an “intervention. Sabrina Khan does not agree with me:” I love the Oscars but sometimes I don’t agree with them.”
I wonder, do you watch “An Idiot Abroad?” It’s produced by Ricky Gervais, pretty funny. You might like it.
