So I spent my day at the mall with my girlfriend and some friends from school. We didn't really do much "shopping", more browsing. I bought a new video game (well, new for me, it's about 3 years old though). Then we went to dinner, pizza for all of us, and then to the movies to see Sherlock Holmes, the second time my girlfriend and I have seen it. Still worth seeing in my opinion.
I was going to post on this topic yesterday, but I decided to save it for today. Lately I've been seeing a lot of commercials for the People's Choice Awards and the Golden Globes and it got me thinking, there are too many awards shows. There are three- the Golden Globes, the Emmy's, and the Oscar's (Academy Awards)- revolving around Television and Movies. The Golden Globes and Emmy's both contain television awards. The Golden Globes and Oscar's have awards for movies. So, the Golden Globes is a mix of the Oscar's and Emmy's, which makes me think, why have all three? Why not just expand the Golden Globes to include every possible award for movie and television. I mean, sure, the show may take forever to air, but it'd save time slots later in the year where maybe a different special program could air, rather than another award show. I don't even watch them because frankly, I don't care who wins.
The same goes for music. Why is it necessary to have the Grammy's, the Country Music Awards, the American Music Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards? This seems redundant to cover all of the genres with three awards shows (MTV, The Grammy's, and the AMA's) and then for one genre of music to insist on holding a show for only artists of that genre. Why not just have the Grammy's? Seeing as the Grammy's has awards under almost every genre, allows for not just American artists, but foreign as well, why not have this as the only awards show. It just seems unnecessary to have more than one when one show can sufficiently cover the spectrum of music awards.
