On Friday night Angela Davis (super famous activist from the 60s) spoke at my school and she got several standing ovations. one of these occurred as she read the open letter michael moore had sent schrub about him being fradulent and the war being shit. so everyone was clapping and saying amen at agnes scott. then, i am brough tback to the real world in watching the oscars when, after receiving an oscar, he is booed off stage. did hollywood have an identity crisis or something???

Considering that actors and artists are being blacklisted if they appear unpatriotic (see: Dixie Chicks, Sean Penn) they have to pander to the masses. Most of their market is the lowest common denominator. This market already feels alienated by them considering most movie goers live paycheck to paycheck while hollywood is full of millionaires.

What happened at the Oscars really didn't suprise me. That whole industry is about money, and while I applaude the few who are morally strong enough to say what they feel is right and put their careers in jeopordy, most of them are just greedy sons o bitches.
