Turned it off. The chatter from whatever those commentators were supposed to be was too painful. Made me think about when the Academy Awards began -- if the founders understood how unique and fragile the movie business was.
Thanks for reflecting on the GG mess -- evoking nostalgia for the way it used to be -- bad as it was most of the time.
We need to find a way to bring audiences back to the theaters before Wall Street closes it all down.
Gosh, why do you subscribe if you hate what he writes? I show up hoping for a jeremiad! For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing we like.
Yes I am familiar, I’m an inaugural subscriber to the newsletter and had a print subscription of Variety as a young child. What elliptical wisdom are you trying to serve here? Richard serves this same bullshit every time he writes about an awards show. He clearly hates the genre and merely uses them as an excuse to preach his geremiads about the genre and Hollywood generally. It’s tired and rings hollow since there is no version of the show he has ever liked. Those of us who love awards shows are tired of it. You don’t see me recapping NFL games and complaining about it being too aggressive.

Hi Ruth. What?
It’s self explanatory. Google “The Ankler.”
