Oscars 2013: Live Blogging the Show!

The Oscar Guy 



      The best film has to offer us is mere moments away. I should rephrase that as the best film has to offer its members. Awards shows bestow neither social nor artistic benefits. They do not make me feel more culturally enlightened. Viewing them does not constitute a deduction on my tax burden. The luster of the show is simply an acknowledgement of hierarchy. The opportunity for us non-entertaining folk, at least those of us not recognized for being entertaining, to be immersed in the expensive pageantry of stars celebrating other stars. Ultimately  the Oscars are more a promotional tool than some kind of finite declaration of enduring appeal. 
      To maintain this spirit of affectation, I have decided to live blog the event. The splendid witticisms of Melissa Bradley of Melissa's Imaginarium have been enlisted. Providing exciting commentary is her expertise. 
      Without further ado, a continuous onslaught of Oscars' shenanigans await. Feel free to join the party and break a few things!

      You'll have to participate in the next live blog, Craig. It's an opportunity to evolve your unique observations beyond the more rigid parameters guiding a blog post. Your compulsion towards the idiosyncratic will ensure dynamite conversation.

      And thank you very much for the compliment :)

      Yes, Craig, you definitely need to do it next year. It was a great experience and Matt is the best partner. I would love to see what your insights would be.

    You should always receive an play bazaar estimate in writing before you have any work done with a locksmith. This will let you know how much their services will cost, and ensure that you do not pay more than the stated upfront cost. You do not need a surprise when it comes time to pay.sata king
