I will take over the Academy someday

Being in the jailhouse for 10 hours is not good one for one’s head. Seriously last year I decided I could not do indoor track AND the musical. This year I am doing neither, but instead signed up for One Act and WTP, not that WTP is a very time-consuming, but my brain is so crammed with other things that I didn‘t want to talk about “how the Bill of Rights has expanded overtime” today. Good thing my group is awesome
. I think I shall go watch Amy Adams sing “Happy Little Working Song.” that will cheer me up.


Ok so I never had a chance to talk about the Oscars except for my little joyous post on Diablo Coty winning in the Original Screenplay category.

-Lets see the show started off crappy since the females decided to wear the ugliest dresses ever! Tilda Swinton should not have won just because she wore a trash bag to the awards.
-John Stewart annoyed me immensely.
-NCFOM freaking won…of course. At least I was prepared for it. That movie is so overrated I can’t get over it.

The Academy just pisses me off because they fall into a certain trend and pick films that fit into this trend for a good chunk of time. Why can’t they just pick the best film!?! The Academy right now wants edgy, dark, suspenseful films that are filled with murder. NCFOM is certainly one of these films and so is last yeas winner “The Departed.” In the 60’s nothing could beat a musical “West Side Story,” “My Fair Lady,” “Oliver.” The 70’s were all about crime films “French Connection,” and “The Godfather Part 1+2” The 80’s favored biographical films “Gandhi,” “Amadeus,” and “The Last Emperor.” Then there were the 90’s of which brought romance and hear-felt films, “Forest Gump,” “Titanic,” “Shakespeare in Love,” and “American Beauty.” With this said :Michael Clayton” definitely would have won in the 70’s and “Atonement,” in the 90’s. There is no way either of those films had a shot this year and it upsets me greatly. I have not seen a film as beautiful as “Atonement,” in a long time.

Whatever the Academy sucks
I must watch American Idol
