    Who cares, the Oscars are stupid as it is an extreme demonstration of how glorified people glorify themselves even further. Why don't we have an award show for working or middle class people who drag themselves to work everyday, work hard at their job while their boss is down their throats while they're being pressured to do the work of many and make the company more and more money while sacrificing quality and integrity. Let's have awards for the working and middle class who struggle to pay their mortgage and bills in a horrible economy and can't afford to buy insurance for their kids, can't afford to go to the dentist or send their kids to college. Wait, I don't want to celebrate peopple who actually make a difference in the real world like those of us in healthcare, or teachers or social workers or child abuse investigators or construction works, scientists, day care workers, nursing home workers, let's celebrate millionaire actors and actresses instead, they're in touch with reality, they deserve it all.

    Does anyone else find it depressing that Norbit is now an Academy award nominated movie?

    Angelina Jolie didn't get snubbed, she finally got found out. She committed three deadly Hollywood sins.

    1. She makes movies that don't make money. Three hits out of 37 films does not make her a movie star.

    2. She exploits starving orphans to further her own career and to protect herself against charges of adultery. Who needs to have a press conference every single time they do something nice for someone?

    3. She takes herself too seriously and looks down on acting as a silly little job. Never mind that this silly little job pays for the team of publicists she claims not to have and the private jet she uses to fly around the world 'saving' people.

    Angelina Jolie didn't get nominated because she broke the three cardinal rules of Hollywood.
    1. She makes movies that don't make money.
    3. She exploits starving orphans to further her career. Who needs to hold a press conference every time they do something nice for someone?
    2. She takes herself too seriously and looks down on acting as a silly little job even though this silly little job pays for the private jet she uses to fly around the world saving people.
