The Oscars

I didn't watch the Oscars, indeed not many people did. Audience figures have been steadily declining for the American film industry's love fest, and this may be the year that Hollywood fell out with itself.

Last year the highest winning film was about the last British king, this time best actress went to someone playing a British Prime Minister; the best foreign language film went to the Iranians (whom nobody likes) and most awards were won by the French (whom nobody likes either).

There were no speeches this time criticising American wars, indeed little or nothing of interest seems to have been said all evening.

Perhaps next time they should cut it back to a sensible size and hold it in Idaho.
