Boycott that farce otherwise known as the Academy Awards.

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2003)

I used to really enjoy watching the Oscars every year. Sure, it's long and has so many nauseating acceptance speeches that you want to throw up. But, it was for those moments of glory and great oratory that I watched. Then the unthinkable happened. How on earth could one of the greatest cinematic achievements of our time get beat by a movie that was not much better than a television movie of the week? It's because the whole thing is a farce. And guess what? It's gonna happen again this year with Two Towers. I used to have respect for the Academy. Not anymore.
