People's Choice?

So, I watched the People's Choice Awards the other night. Award shows are a bit of a guilty pleasure. They're stupid in that how can you really compare films and performances against one another, but . . . a few thoughts.

The PCA is really worthless. Who votes for this? Especially, who votes for the initial nominations? Two of the "best" comedies are Click and The Break Up? Wow. What kills me, though, is how everyone acts as though they've won an Oscar . . . thanking the studio, manager, producer, director . . . geez. Who cares?

I like how these shows tend to reveal things about people. I used to think that Hillary Swank, Halle Barry, and Charlize Theron seemed like "nice" women. Nope. As egomaniacal as any of them. How they carried on after winning an Oscar. You'd think they'd found a cure for cancer!

As for the PCA's . . . about 6 references to Britany Spears and underwear, often only three nominations in a category, no tribute to the passed, and only Masi Oki (from Heroes) acknowledged the other shows during his acceptance speech. Goes to my earlier point. He seems nice.

Of course, I like to see what the women wear. From what I saw, nothing too outrageous and nothing too spectacular. There was one rather skinny presenter wearing a rather low cut dress that looked bad . . . too boney.

Well, up next . . . the Golden Globes!
