It would be nice to see the day when ALL positions for employment are actually based on the job candidate’s qualifications and merits. But that ain’t never gonna happen and we know it! So if you got skills, try to find out how to make it on your own.
As for the Oscars? Did something happen? I stopped watching that particular awards show years back. Long time ago, we might have argued about the “hint of racism” in these ceremonies. But that lady who played the maid in “Gone With the Wind” did got an Oscar, even though she couldn’t go to the celebration part afterwards because Negroes were not allowed. Sidney Potier got an Oscar for “Lilies of the Field”. Denzel Washington has more than one Oscar on his belt notch. Perhaps the person who started the Academy Awards actually did want to give recognition to outstanding actors, directors, etc. But these days, especially these days, we all know that the award shows are about money. And any little “controversy”? It’s probably about money too! That black and white stuff is just “window dressing”.

I feel you are seeing the same thing I am. It’s like having various flavours of ice cream and most people buying Rocky Road, (for example) and the store deciding this in unfair to strawberry so people have to buy strawberry.
When Avatar roped in more money than any other picture and didn’t get the award one wondered where the head of the Academy was?
I have no intention in seeing a movie about homosexuals. It doesn’t appeal to me. I will prob. watch la la land online because its a ‘feel good’ movie and sometimes… gee… people go to the movies to… um… be … I don’t know…? Entertained?
To my mind La La Land won… but it was more ‘politically correct’ to give it to Moonlight, so the envelopes were fudged…

You really have a nice view there in your house since it is near those beaches. It must be so nice to sleep while being lulled by the waves. Can you hear the waves there in your house?
Though, I think being near the beach would bring you anxiety whenever there is a news of an upcoming typhoon. Don’t you fear of getting tsunamis there. Or I suppose that’s not possible because there ate mountains nearby that can block the big waves before it reaches your place.
Really the sky in Auckland is just so near?

My friend, yes we live near beaches , but not that so near maybe 4 thousand meters away from the national road. This image is an amazing rock in Philippine waters. We are so lucky for having this awesome rock that looks like human, right? By the way, we are like having as fiesta there in my discussion on Mylotters seen here joining. They are introducing themselves. You may welcome them there. Have a nice day .
