Award Shows Are Completely Unnecessary

Why?
Because no one needs the assholes in Hollywood to tell us what's good and what's not. Especially when the assholes from Hollywood dole out awards according to the oh-so-obviously-overtired-flavor of the week method of voting.
That, and the fact that mainstream films and music are so limited in their scope, that really, there are few choices when choosing "what's the best". It's now pretty much the Best Animation Category across all media and genres. Everyone gets nominated because if they weren't there wouldn't be a choice.

For example. Last night's Grammys.

Jennifer Hudson walks with Best R&B because, really, who the fuck else is there? Also, points for murdered family members. Sigh. Altruism at its most annoyingly disingenuous.

And Robert Plant/Alison Krause get album of the year because, well, everyone else they're up against sucks. Ie. Fucking Coldplay.

There is no romance left in Hollywood. None.
It's so very sad.

I think I may bleed soon.
