As I sit here watching the pre-show for the Academy Awards I have the same thought I do each time these shows come on, where are the awards shows for all the other professions of the world where we get to dress up in fancy clothes and jewels parading down a red carpet to a complimentary grab bag worth literally thousands of dollars, just for doing our chosen profession?

It was said very well on a morning radio show when interviewing Chris Rock (this year's host) and he said something to the effect of not much caring for the awards programs either, afterall, no one spends time critiquing the scientist going to accept the nobel peace prize for wearing a non designer suit, or better yet, people aren't lining a red carpet to ogle him as he enters the building, or even better yet, the awards show for the nobel peace prize isn't televised or sold out!

I think it speaks volumes about our society, and was quite impressed that on some level Chris Rock shared my opinion.
