Oscar Buzzed
Boy, did I pick the wrong night to start a tumblelog. The Internet is no doubt ablaze with Oscar buzz. In a few days, pop culture is going to wake up, roll over, look at all of this Academy Award coverage, and slowly slide out of bed, pull on its pants, and sneak out of the room. When the goggles wear off, it’ll see the Oscars for what it really is — the same booty call it beckons when all else fails, just one night a bit better dressed.
Thank God for Jerry Seinfeld, though; finally, the Academy acknowledges the legion of high school students scrubbing Milk Duds from the floors of theaters across America, the very venues that offer these nominees’ prestigious works to our country’s movie-going escapists. For one precious moment, from Reese Witherspoon to Reese’s Pieces wrappers, the film industry was united.
Nice to know that, despite Hollywood’s call to arms in the global “climate crisis,” littering in a movie theater is still a go.
