Nadia Elkharadly: Opinions are like…

Happy Tuesday after the Oscars!  Did I watch the illustrious event?  Kind of.  Did I enjoy it?  Not really.  But watching the red carpet affair got me thinking; what is an award show, if not a giant opinion fest?  Every year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences comes together to decide what movie, actress, editor, director, etc deserves to take that little golden man home.  Every year, fashionistas, some real, some wannabe decide who was the best dressed, the worst dressed, and everything in between.  Some revere and respect these awards and everything that surround them, others choose to ignore, scorn or deride them.  But in the end, all of the drama surrounding this occasion seems a little excessive considering it’s all just based on what some random people “think”.
