The Academy Awards are Boring Me Right Now.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Well I survived our ice storm, and now I'm just trying to survive The Academy
Awards. I have to admit that I have been in the midst of finishing up
animating our next episode of "Stu & The Dude Reviewin' the Movies for You," our
review of "Ghost Rider," and at this stage all I have left to do is let the
computer do its work and render all of my work into something I can post for all
of you to see, which hopefully will get finished tomorrow night. But in
that midst, The Academy Awards have been on, and I have to say other than the
slightly entertaining musical number about comedians not winning anything, it's
been a bore-fest. The un-surprise has been that Eddie Murphy didn't win
for best supporting actor, which most people will blame his latest work in
"Norbit" as the cause, or
worse, that the Academy is racist.
The odd part for me is that this is probably the first year that I haven't seen any of the films nominated for Best Picture. I know, I suppose I'm a lousy reviewer for admitting this, especially when, yesterday, my local gigaplex was having "Academy Award" picture day, where for a mere $30 you could sit from 11AM until it finished and watch all five of the films back-to-back. Rather than catch up on my films for Oscar day, I opted to see "Reno 911!: Miami," which I can honestly say, even though I gave it 4 stars out of 5, has absolutely no chance of being nominated for anything for next year's award show.
Well, I suppose I'll wrap-up this blog now, let my computer do its rendering magic, and see if I can stay awake for the rest of The Academy Awards, and see if Jennifer Hudson loses the best supporting actress award, since it has already been bizarre that "Happy Feet" beat "Cars."
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
