The Oscars Shortlist
Of all the overblown award ceremonies that dot the Calendar around this time of year there is a clear winner for the award for most anticipated awards show award. It’s the Academy Awards or “Oscars” as they have been known since Margaret Herrick, the librarian and director of the Academy, once said that the award looked just like her Uncle Oscar, or so the story goes. TV screens will be awash with guff about who’s wearing what and how long the leading actor or best directors acceptance speech was. We don’t really care for all that glitter and nonsense, they could all turn up in jeans and t shirt and fart the national anthem as an acceptance speech for all we care we just want to see which of this years finest from the world of animation come out on top.
