Awaiting the Hollywood meat dress

  I'll admit that I might watch a few moments of Red Carpet fashion of the Oscars show just to see what the royalty among us consider chichi these days. 
  Will we see a meat dress? 
  Or perhaps will some swanky outre designer use vegetables this year?
  Will the beautiful Ms. ____ wear a dress with so many holes that we wait breathlessly to see if it falls off?
  If we look carefully, will any of the dreaded Bra Fat be visible? 
  Will Demi Moore's stick legs collapse beneath the weight of her 80 pound frame?
  Will some snarky fashion commentator finally admit that fat actresses still look fat rather than gushing how *FAB*ulous they look in their tent sized couture?
  Now Powerline has a Hollywood insider who reveals the rot that permeates Hollywood. 
  We already know about the child rape and intimidation Hollywood bigwigs perpetrate, most of the time with impunity.
  We already know that liberals want to see only their ideology on screen so much they're willing to sacrifice everything, even their art and their money, to accomplish their goals.
  Now our Hollywood insider Bill Katz reveals that Hollywood appears to be dimly realizing that things are not so good in the movie making business.
  Think about all the story potential of the Iraq war and the camaraderie between soldiers. The heroism. True courage.
  But apparently Hollywood believes that making movies that make America look good would require patriotism. We could actually be proud of our soldiers, rather than accusing them of being Ugly Americans.
  You don't think there are more Sea Biscuits out there? 
  Hollywood's too busy making In the Valley of Elah or Rendition or other anti-American films. Apparently it doesn't matter if anyone goes to see these bombs. All that matters is that overseas those America haters who take our money and behead our citizens will pay to see a Michael Moore or Oliver Stone screed, even as Americans refuse to fork over their hard earned dough to see themselves depicted as hillbilly morons.
  But from Powerline:

But maybe the excitement is a little less this year. I get the sense from talking with friends in the trade that it’s finally dawning on America’s movie industry that it’s in serious trouble…in trouble with its audience. That’s the American audience, not the “international viewers,” the critics, or other “filmmakers.”

When you realize that the most exciting thing about this year’s Oscars is the return of the semi-retired Billy Crystal, who hasn’t hosted the ceremony in almost a decade, you wonder what’s going on. When you realize that Billy is replacing Eddie Murphy, a falling star who hasn’t made a splash in years, and who pulled out of the Oscar ceremony in some dispute, you wonder where Hollywood is heading. 

 It's difficult to imagine spending any time watching any more of the Oscars than watching most of the movies, or television for that matter, out there right now. As a huge movie buff, I've seen 5 of the 9 movies up for an award for best film. Of some of those, I say "meh."
