Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Honestly, I don't really care for the academys or any kind of awards programs.  From what I read, the awards never have good ratings.

Not entirely true.  The 1970 Academy Awards is one of the 50 highest-rated TV programs of all-time.  At this ceremony, "Midnight Cowboy" made history by becoming the only X-rated film to win Best Picture.  Other winners in 1970 included John Wayne, Maggie Smith, Goldie Hawn, and Burt Bacharach & Hal David.

Oh ok, I know I have read in the past that some award shows don't have good ratings.  But I could be wrong.  I just know that I, for one, don't watch them.

I'm just hoping Eddie Murphy can pull it off for Best Supporting Actor; it's time somebody--anybody--from what I term "the greatest generation" gets one after they all got snubbed for years because the Academy's clearly prejudiced against comedians (I think his first go-round as the Donkey should have gotten him consideration as well, since that definitely was one of 2001's best supporting roles).

Not this year; however, two special Oscars were presented.  Film composer Ennio Morricone received the Lifetime Achievement Oscar and longtime studio executive Sherry Lansing received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
