Day- 55 The Show Business revolves around more show and less merit

I was just going through the Oscar nominations list for this year. And i found ‘A star is Born’ getting nominated in the best picture category, bradley cooper for best actor and Rihanna for best actress. And i was wowed by the list. I found the movie horrible but the reason could be that i don’t enjoy musicals. But Rihanna and Bradley Cooper, no way!!

I think they always nominate the stars who would create propaganda around the show. Seriously i have never seen any good movie or actor actually getting the award for some good work they have done. I have always found jennifer lawrence as a very normal actor and she got an oscar. For what reasons, God only knows! She is the most over rated actor for showing a plain face all the time. She has the same expression in hunger games that she has in the Silver Lining Playbook. But then i think it happens with many actors. Like her Radhika Apte is over rated. I think people just pretend to like her because she is supposed to be liked. Be it lust stories or ghoul or sacred games or any of her recent movies, she gives only half brow raised expression. When i saw her in sacred games i found nothing new in her characters, only her clothes and look changed a bit, rest all was same.

Like one of my friends said recently said that oscars are only given to biopics, docu-dramas and musicals. Leonardo di caprio got oscar for revenant where as his earlier movies were far better. I think these awards need to be abolished as rather than excitement, they draw more hypocrisy these days.
