On Sunday February 5, 2012 on NBC millions of sports fans and football fanatics will gather in homes and bars eyes glued to the television to watch the New York Giants and New England Patriots battle to become Super Bowl champs. The Super Bowl is the highest viewed football game of any season. Many watch just for the highly anticipated commercials that have become ever so famous and others watch to see modern day gladiators battle for victory.
For those of us that are movie lovers or even #movienerds our "Super Bowl" is the Academy Awards which will air on Sunday, February 26, 2012 on ABC. Like the Super Bowl some watch for the fashion and celebrities and others of us watch to see who will take home that coveted prize...the Oscar.
The Super Bowl which is the highest achievement for a football team, so can be said of the Academy Awards for actors and directors. Even if a person is nominated and does not win they will forever be known as Academy Award nominee... which cannot be said of the Super Bowl. A team goes to the Super Bowl and loses they will be known as a LOSER.
Some have called the Academy Awards boring, but it really is not if you can understand the dynamics of the show. The very vibe of the show is "old Hollywood" a time when people did not use profanity on television and ladies were ladies and men were gentlemen. It is a classy, classic award show that holds the highest honor for actors, directors, writers, wardrobe stylist and many more. It is timeless.
