Award Shows
This is the time of year when there are a ton of award shows on. I sometimes watch a few of them, but mostly I find them boring. Why? Probably because my favorites never win awards and does it really matter if they win awards or not. I love my favorite movies, TV shows, actors and actresses no matter what. If they win an award great, but if they don't, who cares. It seems like the same actors and actresses are up for awards every year. Like the Academy Awards and Golden Globe awards. I see the same stars up for awards year after year. There are tons of talented actors and actresses out there and tons of great movies.
Most of the movies that get nominated for the Academy and Golden Globe awards, I've never even heard of nor will I ever go and see them in the theater. A lot of them, I will never watch, even if someone paid me to watch them. That goes for some of the TV shows as well.
I go to movies for entertainment not art. I don't care what critics say. I love the movies I love and that's all. There are certain reasons I go to certain movies. Sure, most of the time it's for an actor I like or for a certain character I like. I go to the movies for me and not to just say that I went to this movie or that movie because everyone else has seen it. I can't stand people who only go to movies because other people tell them it's a good movie or they go to it because everyone else it going to it. I don't care how many awards a movie receives, if I don't think it looks good, then I'm not going to it. Some of my favorite movies have never even gotten an award.
I think the movies that people go see over and over again are the real winners, even if they don't get awards or critics don't like them. Some of my favorite movies and shows have gotten awards, but most of them have never gotten any at all.
My favorite movie Thor The Dark World never got nominated for any awards that I've seen. I've went to see it 10 times now and I want to see it again and again. I love all the stars in it and everything about it. I bought the soundtrack because I love the music and I can listen to it at work. To me, a really great movie has a good storyline, lots of action, an excellent cast, great direction and awesome music. Thor had them all.
My favorite TV shows hardly ever win awards either. I love them no matter what. I could care less if they win or not. I'll keep watching and loving them. I don't watch shows just because they win stupid awards or other people think they are great. I watch them because I want to watch them and they give me something. I don't care if I have someone to talk to or not about them. I don't care if anyone else loves them or not. I love them and that's all that matters to me.
I usually only watch award shows when there is nothing else on and my favorite shows are repeats. Sometimes I get a good laugh out of them or I see some of my favorite stars. Otherwise, I don't really care about them.
