MSNBC called the Academy Awards event a "royal night". Royal? Those people are equivalent to 'royalty'? I'm sure that room full of nacissists appreciates that kind of comparison and eats it up but R U KIDDING ME? Gads!
They surely do enjoy patting themselves on the back, eh? Worst of all, they actually believe they deserve all this attention and 'royal treatment' as if people in their profession are the only ones who do a great job and deserve acknowedgement. As if The Awards isn't enough, they have literally dozens of awards nights for all the various categories of work performed. We can't seem to go a month without some big hoopla over yet another awards night. On top of that they get special treatment by the media and others including the White House of all things. They surely are full of themselves. And we encourage them.
What makes them so 'special' anyway? When you boil it down to it's basics, their profession isn't any better than most jobs in America. Most professions rate much higher in my book on the scale of honorability and real contribution to society. They're no better than many of you out there who are working hard and being responsible every day, every year ... making REAL sacrifices and doing something that's actually useful. My hat's off to YOU! I celebrate YOU!
And then we watch this nonsense on TV. If you find it entertaining, that's cool. But if you fall into the trap of thinking these people are actually as special as they think they are I encourage you to give that some thought. If these people have become our 'royalty' that's sad for us.
