I didn’t watch the Academy Awards Sunday, but I saw enough footage on the news yesterday to make me sick to my stomach. Worst of all was the Al Gore love fest that was unleashed as director Davis Guggenheim and producers Lawrence Bender, Laurie David and Scott Burns won the Oscar for Best Documentary (“An Inconvenient Truth”). Not only was Gore the star of this “passionate and inspirational look at one man’s fervent crusade to halt global warming’s deadly progress,” he was the star of the Academy Awards ceremony, as well.
And boy was it obvious. As Mr. Gore was making his pithy little speech on behalf of the director and producers of the film, the audience seemed to be experiencing a form of near-orgasmic rapture. They sat transfixed, their eyes glazed over—some with mouths agape and others with beatific smiles plastered on their faces— as they gazed worshipfully up at their Gawd. Some even had drool running down their chins.
I’m being serious here. It was a shameful display of mindless adoration the likes of which probably hasn’t seen since the Beatles first arrived in America in 1964. Or since Hitler spoke at the Nuremberg rallies in the thirties….
Puke! They were looking at the man as if he were some sort of a…a…MESSIAH!
And we all know that can’t be true, don’t we? I mean, if you’ve been watching the news at all during the past 24 hours, you’d know that James Cameron has the Messiah safely locked away somewhere in an ossuary. So He couldn’t have been at the Academy Awards….
If you’re feeling masochistic today, here’s some video highlights of the Messiah’s appearance at the Academy Awards. It’d be best to have an airsick bag handy.
