1. What, no "All of the above" option?

3. I thought about that, but I wanted to force people to choose a "most hated"
Me, I don't give a shit whether Reese Witherspoon is wearing something similar to what she wore three years ago. And why the hell should anyone else care, either?

4. I'd love to be nominated for an Oscar just so I could show up in jeans and a t-shirt, haha.
Someday I will spit in the face of Hollywood convention!

9. I remember that one year at the Emmys
Sharon Gless wore a blue dress that she bought "off the rack." And I'll never forget Barbra Streisand's see-thru pajamas when she won and Oscar!

2. So?
You hate Hollywood. I do not.

You are an idiot. I am not.

5. Hey, stick with the listed choices, please
And hurry back to your tv--they're about to announce the Oscar for "Most Singularly Perfect Hemline." Don't miss it!

6. I voted for interminable music numbers.
Don't get me wrong; I LOVE music. The fact is, though, that it is best experienced in a longer format; i.e., the movie itself. They always screw up the music at the Oscars - it is like one of the truisms of Oscar night. Or so says me...

7. The endless lip-service, and faux-reverence...
... paid to crap that no one really remembers.

8. Joan and Melissa.
If that had not been one of the choices, I would have asked you to add it. Not to mention the fact that these two will be seen over and over for the next month or two talking about the Red Carpet. I liked Joan Rivers when she first started out in the 60s, but now she just nauseates me.
