What Is Going on in My Mind Today?



rumors abound that the oscars will move to a january presentation. this is a great idea. i have championed it for years now.

every year the oscars come after a now gaziilion critics awards, the golden globes, the baftas and the sag awards. so by the time the oscars role around award season fatique has set in. 90% of the time the question is not who will win but will there be any surprises. coming in last at the gate has made the oscars old, tired and mostly irrelevant. the academy has let itself be run over and surpassed by too many usurpers.

i mean when the big question every year is 'will meryl finally win a third? ' the time has come to up the ante.

so to the academy board: realizing it can't happen in 2022 make it happen in 2012. and please go back to 5 nominees not the 10 of 2010. it was an experiment. it was a flop. own up and reverse this idiotic move.
