But when the nominations and winners are announced the entertainment media treat it as a meaningful event. It happens every year and nothing is going to break that contradiction. I just stopped commenting on it because it simply repeats. The heart of the contradiction would be that there is a moral core to the movie and TV business that values truth and eventually the HFPA will have to reform or face consequences like having the Golden Globes fall into obscurity. My conclusion is that the moral core of the business does not exist. I'm not simply being cynical in the way of a rebellious teenager, I mean Hollywood tolerates the contradiction and will take no steps to correct it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
