Sore losers and the Oscars
Everyone knows the importance of an Oscar. Once you win, you'll be introduced in all your future movies (irrespective of how brain dead and formulaic it is) in reverential tones as 'Oscar winner...'. And studios and actors indulge in an immense amount of jockeying to ensure victory. Heck, even Aamir 'I don't believe in awards' Khan and his boys spent a lot of effort lobbying for 'Lagaan'.
One of the most annoying parts of the Oscar ceremony (or any of the other nobody-cares-about award shows) is the ludicrous 'Gracious Loser Smile' which is pasted across the face of the losing nominees when their award is announced.For eg, Will Smith has been known to thrown tantrums over trivial matters, such as when regular water (as opposed to mineral water) is used while shooting rain scenes. Yet, when he turns out to be one of the also-rans at this weekend Academy awards, he'll be modesty personified and magnanimously letting the world know how the better actor won.
Which is why watching Faith Hill in this clip at the country Music awards was gratifying.
