I like the red carpet and star gazing, but I am not too enthused about the Academy Awards (though I'll likely tune in)anymore. They always have movies that have a short theater life and go right to DVD never to be heard from again.
I only know a couple off the top of my head, (Moneyball, The Artist, The Help). Last few years I just think most of the movies are not very appealing...at least not to me. It just seems like years ago there was way more prestige connected to the Academy Awards than there is today.
