And when most of America is worried about paying the bills and providing for their families, should they really care about all this crap? If things do get worse before they get better (if & when), then all the fluff just won't matter any more...movie stars, sports figures, you-name-it, etc. We should be concerned more about interpersonal relationships and community, far and beyond any celebrity's self-committed/demanded accolade.

Some say 'pride goeth before the fall'. Many say 'who gives a s#it about vanity?!'.
Only those who must live vicariously will care. Hopefully, most will say, 'Damn them.'

I've heard movies (esp. horror movies) fare well in a bad economy. Escapism.

You can't be so soured you've forgotten acting is still considered an art form. Oscar parties are part of some peoples therapy.

I aim to please.

If this is legit - hooray for Slumdog Millionaire. I absolutely loved that movie.

Cinema and TV do even better in bad times. People still want to have fun and it's a cheap way to do it. Like StoneCold said, movies and celebs can help us forget about current problems for a couple of hours.

Ledger is dead, so it's right. Dead actors always get extra points.

How's he gonna enjoy it? Should'a just created a special commemorative oscar for him. All the other guys will always wonder if they lost 'cause he died.

Movies and entertainment are an escape. What a better time to escape.

Just another award show so elitist movie types can pat each other on the back, and stroke egos all night. You know what? I'd like to thank you for shutting the fuck up. How about that?

Someone woke up on the wrong side of forever today.

Rourke deserved that award for his performance in The Wrestler. That movie is up there with the greatest - of all time!

'Leaked Oscar winners list a hoax'

London (IANS): A document listing the Oscar winners in each category leaked on the Internet is a fraud, says an Oscar spokesperson.

I bet if some hot actress invited you to go to it and stroke her ego at the after-parties you would jump at the opportunity.
