enough already
Boys and girls, I'm getting pretty nervous about the whole Oscar thing. This is my Superbowl, and what if it doesn't happen? I don't really want to contemplate that. Ok, yeah, last year's show kinda blew. But I'd rather have a 3-hour suckfest than no show at all.
Somebody please explain to me why the writers can't just be paid so we can all go back to normalcy. The AMPTP has yet to make any kind of convincing statement that backs up their position... they're just being stubborn. Ok, I get that maybe they don't want to fold too easy since the actors' and directors' contracts both expire this year... maybe they don't want to set some kind of precedent that if you just strike for a few months you'll get whatever you want... but COME ON! You don't stiff the writers. It's like being rude to your waiter when you first get to the restaurant. He'll totally sneeze in your salmon.
So that leaves US with a big nasty loogey of brainless reality TV and awards show press conferences on our plates. Boo.

It's not looking too good. There are currently no talks going on and I'm bummed because I throw one hell of a good Oscar party.

I heard last night that the directors came to an agreement. Is that good news for our writers? Here's hopin'.
