It is time to expose the Oscars for the outrage that it has become. Through the years I have been brought to tears by the injustice of the awards and the shear devastation it has brought to many a fine actors/actresses and prematurely ending some potentially brilliant careers. I first noticed this around 1947 (when as a child I was shocked) that neither Roy Rogers nor Dale Evans received an Oscar nomination for their fine work in "My Pal Trigger" or for their follow up movie in 1948 "Bells Of San Angelo"  these 2 people single handedly kept the old west safe . I immediately tried to contact both Roy and Dale to offer my condolences, but it seems they were out on the range. The next in the string of injustices was in 1951 in Kirby Grants snub as best actor for "Sky King" in which he kept the west safe in his airplane. Sure some defended this oversight by saying it was a T.V. show and not a movie and to that I say Pish Posh. And then there was Ann Southern's portrayal of a car in "My Mother the Car" she had me totally believing she was a car. One Oscar snub that I can kind of empathize with is the  lack of Oscar nomination for Francis in the movie "Francis in the Navy". We were never told if Francis was a male donkey or a female donkey, so what nomination could the academy offer without possibly offending Francis? More recently Oscar snubs include Burt Reynolds in the fine work he did in all Smokey and the Bandit movies (only the truly elite actors can appear to be totally disinterested in their role and pull it off so well) also actress Drew Barrymore felt the sting of an Oscar snub when in 1982  she was passed over for her grown breaking role in E.T. (very few people realize that she had 2 roles in that movie, Gertie as well as E.T.) thankfully this snub has not hampered her brilliant acting career. The list goes on  there is Lorenzo Lamas, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Dolly Parton and Anna Faris(she is the actress in the Scary Movie series. OK, sure maybe Meryl Streep has a catchy name but there is no way she carries off the ditz role in Scary movie(she just doesn't have the depth or ability). And I will tell you this flat out, Robert DeNiro is no Chuck Norris. In concluding my little rant, do I expect the Oscar's to change their approach? No but if we don't register our outrage at such injustices then we are as guilty as they or them or whatever. Thank you and good night.
