Awards Season Weirdness

1) why are celebrities back lashing so hardcore against the mani cam?? I don’t understand. I enjoy seeing the manicures, and, yes, it’s frivolous, but so is absolutely the entire red carpet reporting, and, frankly, the awards season in its entirety. Why suddenly is this one thing being picked on? Manicures = the straw that broke the camels back?! Really?! I think that’s bizarre. Especially considering that it is one little way that the people at home can maybe try to emulate celebrity style without breaking the bank.

2) the drama about people getting snubbed. Jennifer Aniston got snubbed …oh so terrible. I know she thinks she deserves an Oscar because she didn’t wear makeup in one freaking movie and because Sandra Bullock has an Oscar but give me a freaking break. Also, Selma. Getting nominated for best picture at the Oscars is not getting snubbed. Since when is that a snub?? I don’t understand how there’s an assumption that if you make a movie about important subject matter, that everyone should give it praise and awards regardless of if it is good or groundbreaking cinema. Good stories don’t equal good movies. Good stories don’t equal Oscar.

3) Meryl Streep. I know that the Oscars are obsessed with Meryl Streep but there was nothing about her Into The Woods role that was Oscar worthy. Sorry.

    Thoughts:

    I need to see Into the Woods. Like, now.

    Jennifer Aniston is always going to be America’s pity party. I’m over her.

    Completely agree about a good story not making a good movie. Need to see Selma, too, I guess.
