I hate awards shows, people who deserve them never win.*edit or even get nominated.

Not the mention that they're completely pointless.Seriously, why does anyone care about these things?
And I believe that the best people get nominated, even if the person I want to win doesn't 🙁

What's popular is usually gets nominated and wins. Not what's the best. The Grammies are the biggest offender here.
There is a huge difference between the two.
And it's not so much a 'celebration of achievement' as it's 'look, a few people think you're good, have a statue'. They really ARE meaningless.
Originally posted by LanaWell, when talking movies, that actually the opposite of reality. If we measure popularity in box office success, then it's often some of the least popular films that get nominated.

Your cynical attitude is troubling. If it's less about achievement and more about getting a pretty award, maybe we should get rid of the Nobel Prize. The Peabody Awards. Any sort of award that really means something but can be relegated to "oh, it's all about the award."

Babel winning best picture? That's a ****ing gas. The fact that "Children of Men" didn't get any nods is ****ing hilarious, too.
Maybe Children of Men came out too late. Maybe it'll be able to get nominations next year......doubt it though.

When someone is giving a speeh and either is going on for too long or is trying to be funny when they're not or makes a funny joke but drags it out to the point where it isn't funny anymore or is just so shocked and touched that they won an award that they aren't talking right or not at all or crying........................................I always cringe and am just feeling either bad for them, holding my breath, praying that they will stop and things like that.
Whatever is appropriate for the situation.
I hate watching Robin Williams on tv. Whether it's accepting an award or doing an interview.
He just doesn't know when to stop. It's so painful.

Babel is too bland, and nothing new. We've seen it all before. It's one of the worst films of the year. The Departed was, by far, the best film that was nominated. Forest Whitaker had it coming, he's a fantastic actor and has been ignored for years.
