Later tonight the Oscar winners will be announced at the Annual AcademyAwards in Los Angeles. Most of us mortals will watch it tomorrow (Monday) on M-NET at 7:30pm to see all the glory of the winners.
Unfortunately, as with most events of this nature, you’ll know who won before watching it. That’s because you will get bombarded with announcments who the winners are from a number of channels:
- On the radio: That clever radio DJ that you listen to on the way to work who googled it so that he would be able to have some worthy to share on the radio
- On your favorite news website. They usually have it in bold letters somewhere on the home page
- Via the newspaper that you casually browse through while waiting for an appointment.
Yes, okay so there’s a minority of people that arent’ fortunate enought ot have M-NET or have access to the internet, so if the radio DJ doesn’t tell them how are they going to know. They also don’t have a job that gives them the luxury of a PC to browse the internet. Lets spoil it for the rest so that the minority get to know the winners. But think about it, if a minority can’t afford M-NET, a TV, the newspaper or internet they probably don’t give a flying contitnental who the winner is because their needs are different. (well, so the socio-economic research companies say).
Rant off.
I’ll let you know via comment if I manage to dodge the media and get to watch the oscars without knowing who the winner is on Tuesday.
