You can see a lot of them IF you are dumbass enough to watch the Academy Awards.
Why would you really care over who wins BEST PICTURE or BEST ACTOR or BEST ACTRESS?
I sure as hell don't. I'm not 16 anymore. I'm a REALIST now.
I know that all these performers are millionaires and "honoring" them for doing their job is ridiculous. Most of them are overexposed, even "nice" ones like Tom Hanks and George Clooney and Angelina Jolie. And Christ, am I sick of most of them, even fairly inoffensive ones including Will Smith, Leonardo di Caprio and Dame Doody Stench.
Back in the late 60's, when Marlon Brando cared about Indians and Woody Allen was funny, the Oscars were a fucking joke. George C. Scott wouldn't show up. Half the people nominated didn't. If they did, it was to make some speech about what really matters, and NOT their stupid film. These non-attendees and angry speech-makers were influenced by hippies, and hadn't become Yuppies. The idea of greed and egomania was abhorrent.
Now...they almost ALL show up. And why?
For one thing, they've all become a bunch of fucking whores. They like the idea of sucking up to the Academy, they are so pathetic they not only CRAVE all the extra attention, they figure they NEED it so they can get MORE MONEY for their next fucking film. The bitches HAVE TO sashay around while faggots screech, "WHO are you WEARING?"
For another...they are BRIBED to show up.
The biggest bribe is the "Goody Bag" handed to nominated stars to make sure they show up. That's right, attend and get $85,000 in gifts and gift certificates!
These pampered creeps make more money in ONE NIGHT than you or I make in a year.
All they have to do is wear something presentable, stand around and be admired, and take enough drugs so that if their name isn't called, they'll still have a dazed smile on their faces.
Here's the fucking list of GOODIES:
Yep...companies fight over themselves to be in the Top 50. You can imagine how they pay off the Academy itself. "What, you want your pepper spray gun in the goodie bag? How much will you pay US for the privilege???"

The stars can give away some of that shit to their relatives, friends, maids, fans, whatever. And keep some of that swag for themselves.
It's all part of the pampered world of STARS that we care so much about and worry so much about. Gosh, hope Miss Cunt wins an Oscar, ooh, hope Mr. Asshole finally gets to smile with his perfectly capped teeth and I can vicariously smile right along with him...
What a crock. Did any of this year's movies really entertain you, inspire you, or even keep a smile on your face five minutes after it ended?
Me neither. The Academy Fucking Awards. GOODY GOODY.
