Just like last year and the year before that, I haven't seen any of the movies that are nominated or feature people who are nominated, and nothing - NOTHING - means less to me than the Oscars. If I cared about actor awards, they'd be the kind that the fans vote on, "people's choice" or whatever they're called. I certainly don't give a fuck what the Academy thinks. I don't care what celebs wear to the ceremonies, I don't care what the winners have to say or who they thank, and I don't care who wins.

Last year I entered an office pool on the Oscars, just because I was pushed into it by co-workers and it was worth the $10 entry fee to get those clowns to shut up. Even though the winner would collect $420, I couldn't bring myself to care who won (Oscars or the pool), watch the ceremony, or even remember who I picked. The end result: I actually won the pool (such pools are often won by people who know nothing about the subject matter) and still never bothered to learn who won (and since I just checked boxes at random, even back then I couldn't recall my "predictions").

Let me put it this way: even my blinding indifference towards Britney, Lindsay, Paris, Nicole, etc, can't match my indifference towards the Oscars.

I'm just looking for one person (more than one would be great, but one will do) to tell me I'm not alone. Thank you for your consideration towards this crucial matter.
