Defining Deviancy Down at the Oscars

I didn’t watch the Academy Awards. The next day’s reporting is enough for me. The whole process has gotten so political that my blood pressure is elevated 30 points for two days after reading the stories about who won and why. Watching the process on television would probably kill me. Seeing multi-millionaires strut across the stage reading what other people wrote for them makes me sick.

Most of them are gun-toting-anti-homosexualist-one percenters who feel guilty about making so much money while contributing almost nothing of value to society. An article in the February 28^th issue of World magazine gets it right:

There were so many gender-bending themes in Albert Nobbs that it was hard to keep up. It was Victor/ Victoria (1982) —a woman playing a man playing a woman — on steroids or estrogen, depending on what way the gender was bending.

There was the lesbian killer in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
