Award Shows

I'm watching the Oscar's right now, and I can't help but wonder how many award shows there are in America. It's a bit ridiculous. Just last week we had the Grammy's, and soon (maybe not? I really don't keep up with award shows. I just watch them when they come on) we have the Tony's. I can understand the Grammy's for music, the Tony's for Broadway, and the Oscar's for film, but think of the amount of award shows there are for music alone. There's one for country music, there are the MTV awards, and countless others.

How are the nominee's and people who win picked? Do people vote? Because I've never heard of anyone voting for these award shows. Are there professional critics? I just don't know.

Wow, a nine year old was nominated for best actress. I guess anything can happen. Don't give up on your dreams!

Catch-Up

Well, I haven't written a blog post in quite a while, so let me catch you up on everything that's happened so far.

Ravens won the Super Bowl!! Although I'm a true Redskins fan at heart, I was still happy for this Raven win. The game, however, did not feel like a Super Bowl game at all. There was barely any competition. A game, especially a Super Bowl game should keep you on your feet at all times, but that didn't really happen.

Also, the commercials were horrible. First off, most of the commercials were for CBS shows. Second, even the ones from other companies were not funny. Not even Doritos. Nothing will ever top the Doritos commercial with the little boy.

Twitter, however, was extra entertaining Super Bowl night. Meme's immediately came pouring in, and jokes about paying the electric bill and Beyonce were all over. Definitely one of the few highlights during the game.

"I need Ray Lewis to give me a speech to go to class everyday. I'd have a 4.0"

"Rihanna needs to get her forehead out there and shine bright like a diamond so we can finish this Super Bowl."

"109 yards in 11 seconds. I can't even get out of bed in 11 seconds."

"He was running like he wanted to catch Beyonce in the tunnel before she left. Waitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt"

And those were just some of them.

The British kids came to America, and it was fun trying to mimic each other's accents and learn about each other's countries. It also meant a week off from work in most CAP classes.

In more recent news, I finished White Collar Season 3, and I'm excited to catch up to Season 4 :)
