Academy Awards 2008

Now that the writers strike is over, the television networks/ film studios agenda is to try and rehabilitate the industry, deliberately trying to salvage something positive from the past year.

The industry is relying on the platform of the Academy Awards Feb 24, to accomplish this. Hopefully it will be viewed / reviewed a huge success, and most is forgotten. Always some  notable names will help the effort  restore the presumption of glam-our.

( Zellweger, Clooney, Hanks,kidman, Alan Arkin, Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, Colin Farrell, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Garner, Hillary Swank, Travolta, Denzel Washington, etc) there job is to provide damage control and show good will to all . Let us not be concerned with who's getting the credit and top billing. The industry as a whole has allot at stake, not the viewing audience. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should allow a minute or two (during each selection) talking about the films, showcase them, explain a little bit about them from a insiders perspective, make the Academy Awards Show interesting, knowledgeable. Talk about the industry, selective locations used for filming, the hard work, bring the audience into the mix, deliver something informative, otherwise, viewers attention evaporates quick, the results are posted throughout the media outlets the following day.
There is no doubt that this year's Academy Awards will deliver a stellar performance given excellent quality of work, coupled with the energy to revitalize the industry , it certainly sure to deliver, (2008)
