Oscar night is great, for all the wrong reasons. The main source of entertaintment comes from the media, the interviewers and commentators. Their servile attitude towards the stars verges on the feudal. And is it just me or is the way stars (overwhelmingly women) pose for the cameras ridiculous to watch? Like watching children make faces in front of a mirror. You go "d'aaawwww" because they take it so seriously and look kinda cute, but you don't have the heart to tell them that they also look like stuck up little morons.
And the constant discussion about gowns takes triteness to hitherto unexplored territories. Someone should have the balls to make a really good satire on the Oscars and Hollywood culture in general. As it is, I feel as I'm looking through the looking glass at the natives of some strange alien planet.
Interviewers seem to have a thing for "Oscar rituals". I'd love it if one of the stars replied to that particular query by saying: "Oh, you know, Imma big fan of Aleister Crowley, so I usually get me and the wife romping naked over a specially drawn pentacle, smattering each other with fresh goat's blood...."

I think you just described Kathy Griffins entire act.
