I also didn't like the most of the comedy bits done by the people announcing awards,   I was like "quit with the dumb asinine jokes that aren't a damn bit funny, and announce the damned award winner!"   

Oh, so you've never watched the Oscars before then.

I watch the Oscars every year.   The jokes seemed to me to be more unfunny, stupid and lame and time consuming than before.    I could be wrong, years ago, I don't think those that were announce winners made as many jokes.   They went up there, told us what the award was for, who the nominees were and opened the envelope and announced the winner.

People like counter culture and contrarians.

I don't.  At least not when it comes to dressing appropriately.

I mean, we're literally a country that was built on rebellion. It resonates with us. Screw the bow tie and that top button! Who cares? They are such silly social conventions anyway. Why do we wear dumb superficial pieces of cloth around our necks anyway? When you stop and think about it, it is all rather silly.

well, next time you are interviewing for an important job, show up looking like Tarantino and see how far you get.

       The idea behind the tux is to make men as indifferent from one another as possible. They all wear a uniform so that no one will notice their clothing. That way, all attention is focused on the women and their spectaclular attire.

That's why there were so many beards.

that's another thing.   Men need to learn how to shave.  I have no objection to a beard, but either grow a beard or shave.   Don't have something in between(unless you are in the process of growing a beard), it makes you look like a bum.   And yes I know, I am weird and old fashion.    But I look at old movies and pictures and old tv shows and whatnot where everyone dressed up and dressed appropriately for things and were well groomed, it gives events a different feel/aura.  I dislike how dressing up and/or wearing suit and tie is more and more on the way out.  I tell you something is being lost.
