I don’t follow soccer but I do tend to follow celebrity gossip. I hear a lot about David Beckham and I’m wondering, is he really a good player or is it just a lot of hype because of his wife and his looks?

I really should have posted this question during the Academy Awards.

What will happen if a presenter accidentally or intentionally announces the wrong winner of Best Picture of the Year?

Supposed the presenter forgot to wear his/her contacts or glasses and couldn’t clearly read what was on the envelope. Or supposed the presenter doesn’t like the winner and so chooses the other nominee.

Do you think that would cause a significant scandal and controversy in the entertainment world?

Just imagine: The producers of the “winner” are celebrating their much publicized Best Picture Oscar, but the Academy voters and the other nominee (who both feel something’s not right) are demanding an investigation on the matter.

Meanwhile, the producers of the Academy Award show, afraid of the bad publicity, just wants to keep the matter under wraps.

Do you think that would be a good plot for a comedy about Hollywood, in the spirit of “The Player” and “Get Shorty”?
I appreciate The Aisle Seat’s response below (2nd answer). Somehow I’m not surprised that the accounting firm handling the Oscars will have a rule for exactly the hypothetical situation I posted.

Still, it is possible that politics, conflicts of interests, personal agendas, and the media circus, can all conspire to create one big mess. We are talking about Hollywood here.

Supposed, the wrongly awarded Oscar Winner was Scorsese or Eastwood, do you think that even the accounting firm would be confident enough to strip such a prestigious and highly connected director of the award?

What if the presenter was Jack Nicholson or Steven Spielberg? Do you think anyone would have the guts to accuse them of being frauds?

What if the envelopes was destroyed or hidden somewhere? Who’s to say who the “real” winner was?

What if no body, not the Motion Picture Academy nor the accounting firm, want to investigate the matter?

What if the only one who cared was an intrepid young reporter?
I think it would make for a highly entertaining comedy about the politics, absurdity, behind the scenes, and sensation of the Academy Awards.

Seriously, somebody should pitch this idea to Woody Allen or David Mamet.
More details of the plot: The young reporter for Vanity Fair or Daily Variety (played by either Toby Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, or Scarlett Johanssen) gets an anonymous tip from an ‘insider’ about the Oscar fraud SEVEN MONTHS after the Awards Ceremony.

By then general public and the entertainment industry have accepted and crowned the “surprising” winner of Best Picture of the Year.

But that doesn’t hinder our intrepid young reporter from attempting to reveal the cover-up and to discover the truth.

Okay, the movie will be called “And the Oscar Goes To.”

It’ll have an all-star cast. Not to mention, cameo appearances from some of the biggest names in Hollywood: Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz, the Weinstein Brothers, just to name a few.

about a celebrity, that we can later go post as a question in the Celebrity section? Lord knows they’ll buy it over there.

i.e.: Is it true that Justin Timberlake is really bi?

Online blogs, shows dedicated to celebrity gossip, and Paris Hilton on CNN. Should celebrities be reported on in this fashion? Is it important? Does America need this? Does the average American really want to know that kind of information?
But most celebrities are people who at one time in their lives actively sought public attention, isn’t that sort of asking for the “invasion of privacy”? If they don’t want to be in the spotlight, they could always drop out of it as many celebrities have done in the past.

And most celebrities do like the attention because it gives them publicity.

95% of the actors and actresses in ASCAP are out of work at any one time. So, a whole industry of tabloids, gossip shows, talk shows is dedicated to plastering pictures of attention-starved wackos, for what purpose? I really don’t give a crap about who is adopting a kid or is arrested for DUI or is having a feud or is buying a house and oh! Aunty Em! Aunty Em!
