The Oscars are on Sunday, So who really Cares? Let's boycott the Oscars!

Thought my intent is not to proactively BOYCOTT the Oscars, I certainly have no desire to watch.

I agree with Ben, I have no interest in celebrity awards shows.

I agree---let's boycott them...nothing but drivel comes out of Hollywood anyway, right??? I think some of the most inane and stupid comments are made by these folks who believe, for some reason, that they are important and what they say should be considered sacred---where does that come from?  Who gives them the power they seem to think they have??? WE DO!

LETS NOT WATCH----thanks for the post Mary!

I don't watch them anyway nor do I watch any of that so called reality junk. Who has time anyway? I agree a boycott of those award show is a great start though.

I am not watching them, I think Hollywood has been a big part in the declining morals of the American people.  I refuse to be a part of it.

I didn't know anyone watched them anyway.  Kind of like Bush inaguration $42 million with negative headlines.  Obama inaguration $170 million with positive headlines.  They do what they want to.

I will agree that a large majority of celebs are out of touch with reality; but we must remember that these people do provide us with entertainment, which is an important escape in our sometimes stressed-out life.   To place all the blame on them, sounds like "sour grapes"!    We are the ones buying the expensive movie tickets and popcorn.

Looking at their ratings dwindle over the years, I don't know if a boycott is needed to encourage the last holdouts not to watch. Americans by and large are recognizing the Oscars for what they really are- a big expensive party by the rich for the rich to lavish gifts upon the rich and to pretend they are shaping world events. It is a very large and expensive ego-trip.

I haven't watched the Oscars for YEARS- and my cousin is Alec Baldwin!!! (That and $6 will buy you a coffee at Starbucks, if you get my drift).

Since Obama wants to control salaries- he could start HERE and cap THEM at $500,000 and put the reset back in the till. Should pay back the 3 Trillion Bazillion Gazillion $$$s in Porkulus- that isn't going to do the housing market one darn bit of good. They killed GA. Johnny Isaksen's attempt at giving a $15,000 credit- I knew the party was over.

Back to the Oscars- they are a bunch of left-wing liberal, self-important, jaded, spoiled, rich IDIOTS- who have greatly contributed to the downfall of the morals in this country. They use this arena to make stupid political statements and ARE totally clueless about the economy and the struggle that "the little people" are having to cope with.

Gone are the glamorous days of Hollywood- it's all hip-hop, no talent, reality celebutards.

And I refuse to pay $ to even GO to a movie anymore.

Wow, I'm surprised at the comments on this seemingly innocuous post - - more judgmental name-calling than I would have thought was necessary.  I sure hope those rich celebrity folks don't decide to boycott realtors when they want to sell and buy their multi-million dollar digs - Yeah, they even have homes in Maine!  Me, by the time they started handing out awards on the West Coast, I was all snuggled in for bed hoping to drift off happily watching Hugh Jackman do WHATEVER it is he wants to do for an awards ceremony!  Unfortunately, my cable company's digital signal froze on a commercial early on in the game and the screen just sat there with www.yourinsidejoke.com for the duration.  Mary, did you have anything to do with that? 

I do agree to some extent. It is hard to believe these stars are able to sympathize while they have barely any idea what struggles are.
