They have to be the stupidest shows on TV.

I understand watching movies or listening to music, but why the fuck do people watch shows about some retards' votes for best music and best movie? Who gives a shit? Either you like it or you don't. Those people made a shit ton of money. Why the fuck do they need an award? You don't even get to fucking vote.

Some companies give plaques instead of cash incentives. Fuck that. Don't give me a fucking award, give my ass a bonus. Then I might give a shit next time.

Anyway, those shows are mindless and boring. I don't know how you people can waste hours of your life watching them. (Same with televised parades, sorry LC, but those are stupid as shit, too, unless you are there to enjoy them.)

No, if there is something I'd like to see I'll watch a clip of it the following day...that's how I got to see Adele's performance this morning.

I don't watch entertainment award shows; boring, self-congratulatory showcases. Used to watch the MTV, VH1 and grammy awards when I was younger and more into new music, but don't listen to many new artists these days.

I do like the CNN Heroes awards and similar shows where they showcase folks who have dedicated themselves to helping others, typically with little to no financial incentive. They show mini-documentaries and recognize those who not only wish for better but go out and make it a reality. Respect.

I'm a little perturbed that by YOUR standards, if we're not talking about niggers on welfare, or how your son is getting fucked because the Prez is on vacation in Hawaii, that there's NOTHING else worthy of the almighty Crackjob.

I honestly could care less about today's pop music. I switched channels last night when Chris Brown and some sort of synthesizer shit came on. I did enjoy the Glen Campbell tribute. I was hoping to hang on long enough to see McCartney but couldn't do it.

It's okay, Cracker, at least I'll be here to disagree with you from time to time.

MS is getting his panties in a bunch over award shows.

So, yes, that hurt your feelings? I can tell by the way you went for the jugular like any woman would.

Those shows are stupid as shit. They are advertisements. Big, long, boring advertisements. Most people don't realize that. Because they are retarded.

Because I don't find them worthy.

It's okay. They are made for a certain shall we say...class of viewers. They are the same people you send to the store for a newspaper who come back with the National Enquirer.

MS, if I was more up to speed with new artistis, I'd probably tune in to see the performances. Now, had I known Tony Bennett was going to perform last night, I probably would have turned on the tv and kept a watch for it. But don't think I could have sat through the "awards" portions. I just don't like celebrity award stuff, personal taste, that's all. Millions of people obviously do and I don't think they're watching in attempt to piss off Cracker, anymore than my not liking/watching has anything to do with Cracker's opinion on the subject.

I used to listen to Glen Campbell with my folks. Wouldn't have minded seeing that tribute.

Why do people watch them?

Awards shows are among the few glamorous Hollywood events that are open to the public, said Mary McNamara, a TV critic at the Los Angeles Times.

But it's not just about the glitz, the couture and the celebrity.

"When even reality TV is scripted, there's something refreshing about seeing something that could be unpredictable," said Daniel Manu, the site director of Television Without Pity. "You don't know what (the winners) will say when they get up there. You might see a truly human moment from people who are usually ... on point."

Nobody expected lead actress in a drama winner Meryl Streep to curse upon realizing she left her glasses at her seat at Sunday's Globes. And nobody knew how presenters Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore would recover when the teleprompter malfunctioned (by joking about doing a cold read in front of Steven Spielberg.)

"Someone is going to make a mistake," McNamara said. "Somebody's dress is going to be terrible. It's a wonderful opportunity to vent about Hollywood and celebrity culture while also participating in it."

And some people are just gay.

I'm not up to speed with new artists. That's not even the point.

Cracker has deemed any award show, or parade (which I personally despise) as unworthy. Like only people like me and JsMom would watch them.

Oops.

I'm giving up now. I've had it.

Long live the Grammys!

You should have left that part out...
