Not watching the Oscars? What are you doing instead?
I usually watch the Oscars, but I have no interest in watching this year. I've always found Chris Rock completely unfunny. So, instead, I'll be making burritos and watching MST3K and Babylon 5 episodes.

Yeah, but do you have hot sauce? Cause I mean, what's a burrito without some spicy bowel turning goodness?
I myself, will be watching the first thirty minutes, then going out to do some work and missing the bulk of the show.

I don't care what movie will be the next "Shakespeare in Love" or "Driving Miss Daisy."We'll be having a friend over for dinner and maybe watch a DVD afterwards.

To add - there is one thing I find interesting about the Oscars - how much cleavage the hot actresses (and hot dates of the actors) are revealing. Of course, I can scan the photo galleries the next morning.

I'm going to be reading lots o' literary criticism on the "Constance stories" in Confessio Amantis, Canterbury Tales, and "Emare." It's all very exciting, I know . . .
(Actually, I do think it's interesting, though I'm not really enthused about studying right now)

I caught the opening monologue then put it on TIVO so I can fast foward through all the stuff I don't want to watch. I'm watching The Iron Giant special features instead.

I got tired of the celebrity worship and quit watching many years ago.
So tonight I watched an episode of Planet of the Apes TV show from Netflix, will now work out and then play Halo 2. Exciting, huh... but I would much rather to the above mentioned than watch the Oscars anyday.
