I was considering watching the opening monologue, but by the time I remembered and turned it on, they were far into the actual awards, so I turned on the Law and Order: SVU marathon that USA was playing.

I saw a grand total of 1 movie in the theater this year: ROTS. So I really couldn't care less about the Oscars. I can count on 1 hand the number of movies I've seen in the theaters since 2000.
Let's see...Attack of the Clones, Star Trek: Nemesis, Return of the King, Revenge of the Sith (...were there anymore??) I don't think so.

I'd rather watch an old classic on DVD or Turner Classic Movies than a new movie in the theater.
If I had the money, I'd love to buy an old theater and run old movies in it 1960s and before. If people really understood what a GOOD movie was, maybe Hollywood wouldn't put out sequels and rehashes all the time.
Would you rather see Rat Race, or the movie it was supposedly a remake of, Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
