A Cheaply Made Award Show.


The 80th Academy Award's show has passed, but did it leave it's mark on the entertainment business? My answer is a big NO!
I'm a big movie buff, and a great thing I always look forward to at the end of the film season is the Academy Awards. Because of the recent Hollywood Writers Strike, it seemed to me that this year's award show was cheaply made; stitched together with time fillers, film montage, and boring performances. I did think John Stewart was a funny host, and I loved all of the film nominees. My favorite films of the year were Atonement and Sweeney
Todd. I thought this year's award show couldn't even compare to those of the past. In my opinion, this Oscars show was big or glitzy enough. I gave it a "collar's down"
