We are going to see some happy faces tonight at the Academy awards, when Oscars are handed out to all the winners. A number of actors will be beaming with pride and shedding tears of joy and appreciation, while thanking their family, supporters and God (yes, God really did want you to win that Oscar, so he pulled a few strings). But sadly as we know, there will be many times more actors, directors etc. who will have to settle for the biggest loser category. Naturally they'll put on a brave smiling face while pretending to show support for the winner of their category. That is all part of acting experience, but we know in our hearts they are human, like ourselves, who are envious, greedy and very competitive. Hey, it's part of this dog eat cat world, but that's another issue.
So it's very competitive , this Hollywood acting business, and having an Oscar is like having Tiger Wood's stature as a pro athlete (that may not be the best analogy these days in retrospect) . An Oscar may not guarantee an actor more film roles, but it won't count against them either, unless producers are worried about having to pay their Oscar winning star in sacks of gold.
Well I'm tuning into the the big event tonight to check out the main attaction: Which is of course, Steve Martin and Alex Balwin portraying, two wild and crazy kind of guy co-hosts. And good luck to all the nominees and congratulations to all the losers, who will smile bravely in defeat. You deserve an award for that performance. Maybe the award show should take a page out of the Olympics book and give a silver and bronze Oscar to the runners-up. Now that would be worth staying up for.
