ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteOne of my appearances on NightTalk (this one when Dimitri Vassilaros was hosting)addressed this very issue of gender segregation in the Academy Awards.
I'm sure Dawn Keezer who was also on that same show was rolling her eyeballs into the back of her head, not that I care, but even then, I don't recall caring enough to be "angry" about it.
Now, I have to admit, I'm even more apathetic about it. Mostly, because I just don't care about "movie stars."
just what do the people that fear that (gasp)"word" want us to use?
ReplyDeleteany polls taken?
I only care when I'm watching the Oscars and it is hard for me to get worked up about the lack of opportunities for anyone getting paid $1 million for anything. Susan Sarandon lost some cred in my book when she did makeup ads for Revlon.
ReplyDeleteThe issue isn't the awards, but the dearth of representation of women in Hollywood, in front and behind the camera. Big surprise.
