You're a smart guy.  It's not hard to figure out.

 

I'd rather watch or attend Oscars night than live any day in the life of Solomon Northup (If "painful and trite experience" is what you're hinting at comparing Oscars with Northup's life. That said, I don't really get the comparison at any level whatsoever).

That's ridiculous.

 

The Globes are one big party for all of these millionaires and billionaires.  This is the time for them to cut loose and have fun.  Emma Thompson being drunk or acting it was funny and it was loose and it was fun.  I think you guys need to lighten up.  Life's serious enough when you are working and dealing with your family and such.  An awards night where you get to dress up and eat, drink and be merry is not the time to be conservative.  

 

 

::Shrug:: 

 

Guess it's my fault for watching them... I only did it because it was fun watching the reactions on this thread while they were going one.

 

1) Actors trying to be funny or profound at these awards are rarely either.  All it does is show why there are directors, writers and editors.

 

2) You are naive if you think little little 'skits' like Thompson's is just 'cutting loose and having fun'.  It's carefully crafted to be one of the 'events' of the show and to be talked about on twitter and on entertainment websites.  It's like athletics showboating and taunting to try to make an ESPN highlight.  I guess I don't like 'acting' when they are representing themselves.

 

3) I was mentored at an early stage in my career to always act professional at work events when alcohol is present... even fun events like holiday parties.  You may be the life of the party that night but it's very easy to  remembered for the wrong reasons by people important to your future.

 

4) I personally preform those performers that are classy, prepared, controlled and act like they've been there before.

 

Maybe I'll drink during the Oscars and that'll let me enjoy people showing what their true personalities are.

LOL it's not like Emma Thompson is worried about her future.  What is this really about? Are you holding a grudge because of her rant on Walt Disney.

 

eta: Correction it was Meryl not Emma that ranted on Disney.

 

Thanks Dar, lol.

So you believe her act was just impromptu good fun and wasn't carefully planned to be one of the talked about events of the Globes?   :lol: 

 

And I wasn't aware Thompson ranted on Disney... I would assume she would be one of the last people  to carelessly throw around the anti-Semitic label.

 

Hey... sorry if I'm crapping on peoples heros.

 

I tend to try to focus more on the artists' performances then who they are in real life.  But when I see their performances spilling over into their public life I call it out.

Okay. I actually really enjoy the Oscar show. It's probably the last show with class left in Hollywood. But, yeah. I actually really enjoy them every year even when atrocities win. 

Don't know about the class bit but I do genuinely love Oscar night.

LOL Don't mind me. I had it wrong. It was Meryl. But none of these people are my heroes. I just find it interesting that you feel this way about an event where it's common knowledge that the alcohol flows freely.
