These Red-carpet interviews prior to the Oscars are

[PCIntern]

the most insipid TV I have ever seen. And that's saying a lot.

that is all...

[MadBadger]

1. Yep, I hate it. Its up there with Any show that ends with "Of Love" on VH1 or MTV

[villager]

2. Yeah, they are. I'm watching the thing for what I'd like to think are professional reasons...

...but Jesus H. Christ!

[DearAbby]

3. ::SPOON WAVE::BIG SMILE BIG SMILE:::

I wish to thank my parents for having the good sense producing ME! And to all my adoring fans...:::blowing air kisses:::

[virgogal]

4. I haven't watched one second of the Oscar's in 25 years and I love

the movies and go often.

I actually pity anyone who has to sit through it.

[PCIntern]

9. Normally I don't watch this part...

but I got depressed watching the Concorde Crash special on Dateline and switched over during Baba Wawa.

[lxlxlxl]

5. OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? WOW OK BYE!

Thats pretty much it...

[Initech]

6. Just like an NBA game, the Oscars really dont matter until the last 10-15 minutes of the program.

[2Design]

7. I am waiting for hugh jackman - he is great for the eyes and hot

ever since I saw him in the film with Meg Ryan - just adorable

[tanyev]

8. Insipid! That's the exact word I used to my husband a few minutes ago.

And ABC was even worse than E! Didn't think that was possible.

[SharonRB]

10. That may be true,

but I love seeing what everyone is wearing. So far, most of the gowns are beautiful this year.

[Beregond2]

11. Apparently you have never watched "American Idol."

[PCIntern]

13. this beats AI hands down...

[Captain Hilts]

12. Wow! Am I ever glad I didn't attend!

[NYC Liberal]

14. Sometimes I like insipid TV. I couldn't stand watching news and serious TV all the time!

Always love watching, since it's a nice relief from all the shit that's going on.

[madrchsod]

15. i watched the independent film awards yesterday

much better...naughty words,totally crazy speeches,and some cool musical numbers. the actors and others can actually say what they want....like mickey rourke talking about banging a girl in the ass in his movie....ya you ain`t going to hear that tonight.

i`m watching "scary movie"

[Neecy]

16. it's really idiotic

I'm sort of relieved that I have no idea who most of these people are.

[CLANG]

17. Since I guess I'm the only one willing to defend them..

The only purpose of it is to let people see their favorite "stars" and hear them say a few words. They don't have the time for in depth discussion and I'm sure the "stars" wouldn't stand for it. I kind of like seeing them and what they are wearing. It's called relaxation. Sometimes it's nice to be distracted for awhile from the serious problems of the world.
