The Oscars: Are they worth watching?

Although The Oscar’s occur every year, I can never sit through the whole ceremony, simply because it’s quite boring. My view about the Oscar’s is a mixed one, because most of the actors or movies that are nominated for an Oscar are unknown to me. In some cases, I don’t bother to even watch the Oscar’s if I know who and what are nominated. Even the red carpet can be boring, because I don’t want to see a person being interviewed that I have never heard of before, no matter what they wear or how charismatic they are. I also believe that the nominators are biased on who they nominate for awards, since most of the nominees we see are either the same people over and over again, or people we have never heard of. On the other hand, the concept of the Oscars is good because it gives recognition to people who deserve it. There are many good directors out there that would have never got appreciated for their work if it weren’t for the Oscars. It also gives ‘behind the camera people’, such as wardrobe designers, directors and screen play writers recognition for their hard work, which is usually never acknowledged by the public. Even though the Oscars are boring, it does give recognition to people who deserve it, but it wouldn’t hurt to nominate an actor or movie that the public has actually heard of.
