It’s been a very long time since I have even heard of the movies nominated.

It has been so long since I last watched an awards show, I don’t even pay attention to when they are on. Plus, any more those shows go on forever.AZLizardLady wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 10:27 pm At one time, the Academy Awards were fun to watch as were many other award shows. They were glamorous and for a short time...the length of the televised show....you got to feel that you were a small part of their world.
Today, I have just lost all interest. Yes, a part of it are the political speeches which are far more frequent than they once were. In fact, you just really seldom heard about a celebrity's politics, especially when it came time to winning an award, and going up on stage to thank people.
I'm not surprised that the viewing percentages are done. I do think a part of it might has to do with these almost expected political speeches (now) upon winning some of them give. But too, there are far more options on TV now than ever before.
It's not that I feel celebrities should keep their political and social opinions to themselves. But why be so polarizing while people in the audience HAVE TO listen because you've won and you're now on the stage? Kwim?
Honestly, too and with respect to music award shows, I feel out of the loop. Many a time has come when we used to watch the different music award shows that I'd find myself asking my kid's..."who the heck is that," and subsequently feeling older than dust. lol
Either we haven't heard of them or we haven't seen them in most instances.DSamuels wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 10:59 pmIt’s been a very long time since I have even heard of the movies nominated.
