Which is the better team--the New England Patriots or the Boston Red Sox? Who was the better artist--Van Gogh or Franz Kline? Those are silly questions, because you are comparing two different sports or genres that really cannot be compared in any sensible way.
That’s why I never watch the Academy Awards. I saw “Gravity” and “Philomena.” Sandra Bullock and Judi Dench were both wonderful, but they were in two completely different films playing two different roles that don’t compare. For that matter, how do you compare “Twelve Years a Slave” to “Dallas Buyers’ Club”? How can one of those be better judged more worthy than the other?
Thus the selection of “Best Film” or “Best Actress” or best anything is subjective and arbitrary. It’s not like the Denver Broncos playing the Seattle Seahawks.
Tomorrow: the Ukraine and Russia.
Honestly, I watch for the pure enjoyment of seeing such beautiful women and the fashions that they wear. Anyway, its better than watching those crime shows, etc.
ReplyDeleteOK, that's a good reason to watch.
