Is it just me, or does anyone else think that actively campaigning for an Academy Award cheapens the whole event? IMDb reports on the efforts of Catherine Zeta-Jones:
"She is desperate to win and knows she has a great chance. She was bitterly disappointed when she didn't get one last year. She needs it for credibility because at the moment a lot of people think she owes her success more to who she has married than for her own talents." An insider adds, "She and Michael have been greasing the palms of the important people in Hollywood with plush formal diners, and one of L.A.'s top publicists is spearheading her campaign. The film company Miramax is also applying its own pressure for her to win and she believes it is going to be her year."Does 'greasing the palms' of the Hollywood Who's Who really lend credibility to actors?
So much for "It's an honor just to be nominated."
Hmmm... Sounds more like: "I'd like to mphhhmmmmph the Acadmemy for this award ....".
