Academy Awards

As an artist I find it difficult to follow all the awards shows. Popularity is a strange engine in our culture. Where is the incentive to create a powerful expression? Is the goal to go and walk the red carpet and be voted the best . . . . . .? This year the "best films" are somewhat political but still in the running to say one is truly superior to the others.

Ask any songwriter or movie maker. The best song or movie ever is the last one they just finished writing.

Sorry no tuxedo or gown, no thank you speech, just the creative juices of the moment.
