The Academy Awards

Its that time when Hollywood elitest all dress up and pat eachother on the back and I couldn't care less. I find all of Hollywood despicable. Nothing is worse than snobs hanging out with other snobby people, all the mean while saying how great they all are.

Well, I don't particularly care about the awards, though I try to have a more Christlike attitude about the people in general. $\:D/$

You must care if you went to the trouble to create a topic about it.

Not all actors are snobs! I find it rather snobbish to stereotype someone without knowing them.

I enjoy the Oscars somewhat, but I liked it more when they did good performance numbers. It's not worth it for them to bother anymore; they don't usually have any good nominated original songs to work with.

So... I'm curious... am I suppose to laugh or cry at the horribly unchristian reaction some of you are giving here?

If there was a movie you liked you'd care. Cars will win best animated picture and the people who work at Pixar are anything but snobs. Geeky yes, snobs no. I hope "Our Town" wins best original song because that's such a good song. And it wasn't created just to stick on at the end of the movie. It was a part of the story.

Who me??

If I sounded outrageously mean then I am sorry, I ment it to be silly...

But if you are a christian, hollywood actor then you probely shouldn't be in Hollywood or at least you should stand out and be different like Kirk Cameron is with Way of the Master....
Yah there might be some christians in Hollywood but most of those are closet christians.... Doesn't the bible say "Be Ye Separate"?

I don't really care that much, but I think I'll watch anyway, just because I like watching shows like that sometimes.

I'm actually kind of watching it right now - I don't really care that much, but it's kind of cute right now because these two little kids are presenting.

Whether we agree with something or not, it's always nice to not judge it as either right or wrong, especially if it's something that we don't know everything about.

I'm not saying that the Academy Awards are so fabulous, but that doesn't make it evil, either.

I've got to admit I was absolutely horrified Happy Feet won. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the fact that it was a PC movie rather than a cute nostalgic feeling movie that Cars was, but hey Pixar should have won.

I can't believe Happy Feet won as well. Nowhere near as good as Cars, storywise, animation wise, etc.

It was just yet another example of "message" winning out over "quality".

I about puked when Gore received his love-fest.

It's Hollywood! For crying out loud! Perhaps there is know better example of a institution that bashes Christians and morals.

A little grace can go a long way.

Yes, there's bad stuff that comes out of Hollywood, but that doesn't mean that all the people connected to it are supposed to be the targets of our wrath. By bashing people that we think are bashing us, what have we truly accomplished?

Also, Darcie is married to an actor, so I think that she would have a better idea than most of us as to whether or not all actors are snobs.

Yeah, it's really going to help hollywood if we all just run for the hills away from those vile sinners. You know, I don't quite think Jesus followed that concept when He hung out with the sinners and ladies with a dozen different men... An actor\actress can be different, yet, doesn't have to be a "preacher" like Kirk Cameron.

It's Hollywood! For crying out loud! Distinguish between the institution and the people!

Yes, I'll be the first to admit there's a lot of garbage in hollywood. But there's also a lot of good, and there are good people there.

When some Christians only see actors and Hollywood in a negative way, how do you think the objects of that hate respond to Christianity? It is a two way street here, but sometimes that's hard to see when you are only looking one way.

I happen to care a lot about the Oscars.

What do you mean snobby people? They invite everyone who has contributed significantly to the movie industry this year. What's wrong with awarding and appreciating those who did an exceptional job and performance?

I didn't watch it..I was on the computer!

I watched part of it. Does anyone know who won best actor, actress and best picture?

Just curious.
