WOULDN'T WANT TO BE AT THE CAMERON AFTER PARTY
I am sure the Hollywood faces...the botox-free parts that could actually MOVE, that is,  were aghast last night as the DOMESTIC drama played out between ex spouses. 
James Cameron, with "Avatar"...the prohibitive favorite...the juggernaut...the blockbuster vs Katherine Bigelow and "The Hurt Locker," a movie about the Iraq War that NOBODY SAW!
                           Bigelow                                                             Cameron

                      $14.7 M Box Office                                              $720 M Box Office
In the end, WHO got the last laugh?  Well, SHE got TWO OSCARS...Best Film and Best Director.  And HE only got a few bazillion dollars...so YOU be the judge.  Either way, I'll bet HER party was more fun than HIS!  I mean you can't feel TOO SORRY for him.  If he was crying about it, I say SHUT UP!!  SHUT UP AND ENJOY YOUR EXTRA LARGE BANK ACCOUNT.

THIS IS WHY I PREFER THE RAZZIES
Call me a stick in the mud, if you like, but the Oscars just don't impress me.  A bunch of self aggrandizing, self-adoring, phonies, celebrating how wonderful and beautiful they are and presenting themselves awards for it.  Kind of like Reverend Jeremiah Wright in Chicago Friday night, PRESENTING HIMSELF with a "LIVING LEGEND AWARD?"  And CHARGING PEOPLE BIG MONEY TO COME TO THE EVENT...THAT'S watcha see when gonads meet the gullible.
 
Anyway, back to Hollywood...the whole event is about who's being seen and what they are being seen in...Halston, Dior, Wang...for MY money, there are too many people in Tinseltown WAY to proud of their WANGS as it is.   The whole orchestrated evening is badly delivered jokes about real inside stuff, weak skirts, presentations delivered by actors, who would be LOST without a script or teleprompter, phony self-deprecation and LOTS OF CLEAVAGE. 
(OK, that last part, I don't mind.)

Now the RAZZIES...this is a little ceremony that recognizes the OTHER SIDE OF HOLLYWOOD.  The SUCK side...the side that the glam would prefer you see, as long as you spend money but prefer that you don't remember.  The Razzies recognize the WORST efforts of these genius film-makers and thespians. 
One class act to come from the Razzies...Sandra Bullock showing up to good-naturedly accept her award for WORST ACTRESS...she was actually a DOUBLE winner, also winning WORST COUPLE, with some guy, for her role in "All About Steve."
She showed up, accepted the award and provided DVDs of the movie to everybody.  Now THAT'S class.

I DO DISAGREE WITH ONE THING ABOUT THE RAZZIES
While the Razzies poke fun at the self-centeredness of Hollywood, I do have to vehemently object to one presentation...WORST OF THE DECADE.  There were Razzies presented to the Worst FILM of the Decade, which went to "Spaceship Earth."  This was the HORRIBLE story, funded and starring John Travolta, which was written by L. Ron Hubbard and pretty much tells the story of the science fiction account that led to the cult religion, Scientology.  OK, I have no beef with that...it was a stinker.  BUT...worst actor and actress of the DECADE...EDDIE MURPHY?  OK, he was sucky in "Norbit."  he got a little carried away with that multiple character thing but WORST OF THE DECADE?  Whatever...BUT THIS...THIS is just a travesty...WORST ACTRESS OF THE DECADE?  PARIS HILTON?  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  I most strenuously object...to her being called an ACTRESS!   She's just kind of a celebutramp...famous for NOTHING SHE'S DONE OR EARNED.

She's more like the modern day Zsa Zsa Gabor...without all the talent...

NOW FOR A TOTAL LACK OF CLASS?
A good example of why actors should just SHUT UP AND ACT is Sean Penn.  Now, granted, he jumped RIGHT INTO ACTION when the devastating earthquake hit Haiti.  He personally delivered needed supplies and aid that was greatly appreciated.  BUT...he also brought with him a camera and crew so they could CHRONICLE the whole thing...for a future film or documentary, perhaps?
He was criticized by those who already disliked him for his politics as well as those who questioned his motives...both here AND in Haiti. 
So, does he respond in the spirit of benevolence and love that he delivered to Haiti?  NOPE!  Sean Penn appeared on the CBS Sunday Morning Show to say THIS of his critics: "I hope they all DIE SCREAMING FROM RECTAL CANCER!" 
Wow...just because they question your motives?  To ME that really puts the HATE in Haiti!

READY BRAIN?
Academy Award Film, "Gone With the Wind." Author, Margaret Mitchell did not want Clark Gable to play Rhett Butler.  Who was Mitchel's choice? 

Answer:  GROUCHO MARX! 

Couldda been a TOTALLY different film...Civil War meets "COCONUTS!"
