Five or Ten? Hurt Locker or Avatar? Jim Cameron or Kathryn Bigelow? Yes, Oscar night is upon us once again, and the Media has been thrown all of their bones. Yak. Yak. Yak. Chat. Chat. Chat. Blog. Blog. Everyone's twittering. But to accomplish what exactly? Make better movies? Well, let's hope that's the case. I'd hate to think this is all just a marketing scheme. Hopefully, the awards actually mean something to those that receive them and those people will do their very best to make better movies themselves and inspire others.
The chat is fun, but certainly not the reason for such an evening.
