Ken Goldstein, Board member and strategic advisor for the Good Men Project, wrote this on his Facebook Wall last night:
“We live in a strange, cruel society. Yesterday we have an annual awards show that celebrates creativity. Today the snark. Worst dressed. Worst face job. Worst pronunciation mistake. Worst joke. Worst drunk. Worst acceptance speech. Worst backstage comment. Really, we can do better. The kids listen, you know. What are we teaching them? Is this stuff that matters enough to discuss?”
What do you think?
Is the question “what does the what we say about the Oscars say about us?” or are we unearthing something deeper about celebrity culture in general?
