There’s always such a big fuss surrounding the Oscars, so each year I’m tricked into turning it on to see what the deal is.  Then within a few minutes I’m reminded that it’s one of the most outrageously boring shows on TV, and I quickly change the channel.  What is the big draw to this thing?  Are people just fantasizing about being celebrities?

Person1:  “Look at how glamorous it all is.”

Person2:  “Yeah, I sure wish I could dress up in an uncomfortable outfit and sit quietly for several hours while people thank other people that nobody’s ever heard of.”

Even with the incredible length of the show, absolutely nothing happens.  Everything has already been decided for days.  It’s just a 4-hour long announcement.

Announcer:  “The nominees for today’s lunch are:  hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and hamburgers.  And the winner is… chicken nuggets.”

Chicken:  “I’d like to thank whatever part of my body it is that becomes a ‘nugget’.”

Kid:  “This doesn’t seem so glamorous.”

That took an odd turn.
