The season of blubbering film makers and 'stars' is upon us again, whether we like it or not.
There was a time when awards went to films of great merit and to stars of great ability, but today's nonsense is of an altogether different type. Today's films are dominated by gloss and dramatic effects, often computer generated; the stars rarely speak more than a handful of words at any one time and don't even have to go on a proper set. The films and performances are rarely of any lasting quality but are simply designed to appeal to the moment. Very few of the films will last the test of time, and yet these seem to be the films that, more often than not, win the major awards.
The more glitzy the awards' ceremonies become and the less meritorious the films and performances, the more effusive become the acceptance speeches; minutes of blubbering and tearful thanks to all and sundry. What a load of tosh.
