The Jaded Oscars: Revolt of the Captive Audience

The Oscars seemed irrelevant this year.  A defective royal, a crazy ballerina, a best costume award for CGI, and a Saturday Night Live so brunesque it can't even send it up.  We're all wandering in the wilderness, it seems.

No Gandhi, no Lawrence of Arabia, no visionary excess and no hope....  So far as America's entertainment industry goes, the soup nazis have won 2011 and the captive audience is retrenched behind our gameboys.
