The Entertainment Moguls continue to produce material that leads us toward stupid. Thereby leaving our younger generations' uneducated and unprepared to fight off greedy banks and predatory money barons.
I LOVE award shows and was secretly thrilled when my husband fell asleep so I could watch the People's Choice Awards last night without being teased about watching celebrities. What a disappointment! I guess they have to tell the celebrities that they've won ahead of time to get them to the show...OR ask them to be presenters. It was hokey and hickey. I was so disgusted, I turned it off and read a book. This show needs to either go away or have a major overhaul. And Queen Latifah....stick to movies....you're terrible at hosting.
"And Queen Latifah....stick to movies....you're terrible at hosting."
I don't watch award shows very often. I will usually tape them, and IF I end up watching it, I usually zip through all the crap. I have watched one with Queen Latifah hosting, before, and I thought she did a good job, but this time I thought she sucked. Too much nonsense. I felt bad for the "Twilight" trio when Latifah was standing in front of them spewing all that crap. I would have been embarassed.
I'm not an obsessive follower of celebrities, but not even my husband is going to influence me on whether or not to watch something if that is what I want to do. I could find plenty to criticize about the shows that he watches.
