I have been noticing lately how there are so many award shows for actors and singers. It is strange to me that so many people like watching these shows. If you love someone's performance, why does it matter if that person gets an award for it? If the award is something to make the actor feel his performance was exceptional, then why do other people have to watch him get the award? I just don't understand. Does it have to do with people's obsession with celebrities? When other important people get recognized for their accomplishments, it is rarely televised. How many award shows do you watch for writers or doctors or teachers or scientists?
I think most people watch award shows to see the celebrities and what they are wearing. REALLY?! Can you even call that a past-time? Unless you a very passionate about fashion or music or movies, I can't understand why anyone would watch an award show. They are just people parading around in fancy outfits.
Celebrities are only people, like you and me. They have no special powers unless you count money or being skilled at acting or something like that. Yet when a celebrity dies, people mourn as if they knew that person. Why is that? For all you know, that celebrity could have been a horrible person with some great skills. I'm not saying you can't feel sad when a celebrity passes away. But think about all the other people who are dying every day, and ask yourself, "Why is this celerity more deserving of my love and sympathy than all those other people?" It would be pointless to be sad every second of your life because people are always dying. But maybe we should be a little more selective of who we honor and who we mourn.
