A Speechless Oscars

Today’s front page article of the Arts section announced this years Oscar nominees. I’ve only seen one of the nominated films for Best Picture, but that’s not the only reason why I’m not excited about the Oscars this year. The ongoing writer’s strike means that this years Oscars will probably be like the Golden Globes, an awards ceremony with no presenters or recipients. The writer’s strike has already forced some of my favorite shows into a hiatus and flooded the networks with crap-reality shows. Now it’s threatening my favorite event of the year. Thanks for kicking me when I’m down writer’s strike. The dispute between the writer’s and the networks is over residual money for internet content, something that I think they deserve, but I wish I didn’t have to become collateral damage in their bidding war.
