The Academy Awards need to go away!

In my last post I said wasting money on movies was lame, however I realized there is something far lamer than movie going and that is the Academy Awards. The sole reason that the Academy Awards exists is so Hollywood celebrities can pat each other on the back for a job well done. LAME! In the old days of Hollywood the ceremony was small and wasn't viewed by too many people, now it's become a huge phenomenon viewed by billions of people.
The Academy no longer honors excellence in films, rather they just want to sell movies to the audience. Therefore, when a movie is released on DVD it can read, "Winner of 4 Academy Awards, yada yada." Usually, the Academy gives awards to the least deserving of movies.
Here is a list of many undeserving films that have won an award:

Good Will Hunting (Best Original Screenplay and Supporting Actor) Original? What? Robin Williams gives his usual annoying uplifting performance as a tough psychiatrist. Why not just give him the award for Patch Adams, it's essentially the same performance. It's a truly sad to know that Ben Affleck has some how won on Oscar for doing absolutely nothing!
A Beautiful Mind (Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actress, etc.) Stanley Kubrick? NO!
Martin Scorsese? NO! Ron Howard? HELL YEAH! How is it real directors like Kubrick and Scorsese have never gotten anything, but Ron Howard one of the most bland directors in history is bestowed the "sacred" Oscar. Rubbish!
Forrest Gump (Best Picture, Actor, Director, etc.) One of the WORST movies EVER! There are people who LOVE this movie, but let's look at the facts, its just not that good. For some reason Tom Hanks talking rea...a...a....lll...y slow was worthy of an Academy Award. But then again, The Academy loves honoring over hyped actors like Hanks.
Monster's Ball (Best Actress) It's great that Hollywood finally recognized an African-American actress in a film role, but couldn't it have been an actress that isn't Halle Berry, who gives possibly one of the most laughable performances in film history. I guess if the Oscar was for "Best Over-acting by an overpaid actress" then Berry earned it. Oh well!
The Greatest Show on Earth (Best Picture) This movie is highly entertaining, but in all honesty it's not very good. It's a rather corny behind the scenes look at the circus which features various subplots including: a clown wanted for murder, a love triangle between the manager and two acrobats, a train wreck, and evil money grubbing businessmen out to destroy the circus. There were so many better films that came out in 1952, yet this won the top prize. Good job Academy!
Titanic (11 Academy Awards?) How did this win so many Academy Awards? It's essentially your standard tragic love story set aboard the Titanic; there's nothing new and original about it. The screenplay could have come out of the Great Depression, yet people LOVE this movie. The only reason it won the top prize was because it was the highest grossing film of all time!
Chicago (Best Picture, Supporting Actress, etc.) I liked Chicago, but c'mon practically every film nominated that year was infinitely better.
Rocky (Best Picture) The Academy loves uplifting movies, no matter how by the numbers they are. It's not even the best Sly movie, that would be First Blood. Rambo kicks ass! If we had more men like Rambo, we would have won the Vietnam War, or so says the might Sly Stallone.

I'm getting a headache thinking about this crap! The point is: The Academy Awards suck! They have lost credibility in the last decade by consistently honoring extremely forgettable movies.
Don't waste your time this years watching this garbage, stare at a wall instead, it is far more interesting and far less irritating.
