My antipathy for award shows comes from a resistance I developed to hype. In some of my reflective leisure moments I use the infinitive archive of the internet to sample shows, movies, and music I decided I had no use for when they came out. Often the product was fine but the intensity of the hype around it made me resist giving it any real attention. As show business recognizes the awards as a marketing opportunity the shows serve as hype machines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
