Why the Oscars Bother Me

As much as I love movies, it's amazing how much I detest Hollywood and all of its narcissistic hypocrisy.

I saw Iron Man and Dark Knight. I also saw Vicky Christina Barcelona. The first two were awesome. The third was entertaining. Good, but not great. How Penelope Cruz won an Oscar given that she was in only about 1/3 of the movie and spoke Spanish 75% of the time astounds me. I thought her ex-husband in the movie - Javier somebody, the killer from No Country for Old Men - was much better.


If all of the movies nominated that were nominated for best picture this year were so good, how come no one went to see them?

Penelope Cruz is very easy to look at, though.
