How you know the Oscars are phony

You could tell immediately that the whole Academy Awards thing is phony when "Crossroads" didn't get a nomination for Best Picture of The Year, and Britney didn't get nominated for Best Actress. I swore at the time to never watch the Oscars again, and I haven't since. And, hey, why don't they cast her in movies? She's guaranteed boffo boxoffice! And we all want to see her. The whole things phony if you ask me!

to you the oscars maybe phony to many others myself included they're not though they do make mistakes in the nominations and winners for instance Deborah Kerr was nominated for best actress in a leading role six times and never won or Ava Gardner was only nominated once and lost while her husband at the time won the best supporting actor statuette that same evening

"why are you married to him then if you can't work with him how do you live with him?"

Poor Fozzy_Fozzbourne, someday must arrive at the realization that she's Britney Spears and, by contrast, he's absolutely nothing and nobody! Then you can cry hard, too. No one will ever know you were here.
