The Oscars are a few days away. Good luck to anyone who is still going to enter this The Numbers.com contest.

Not viewing the Oscars.

Again.

We saw many movies - a few excellent, some very good, most forgettable.

Just like the upcoming Oscar TV show. It will be DVRd here, and portions-maybe- watched next day. As usual will fast forward thru the political opening monologue, dumb Awarders yada, and narcissitic rambling thanks yous. We'll check the articles covering the winners (and whiners) in the AM and fast forward to any 'good parts'. On that note it may be a total waste of DVR space...

If we were to watch the whole thing including commercials I would want an Oscar gift bag from them.

What's in the bag that goes out to 26 stars and directors this year? A bounty of gifts that are worth at least $100,000. (Distinctive Assets won't get more specific about the value of their giveaways, but they say that a number of brands pay to be a part of the bag. And, yes, stars are taxed for the physical gifts.) Here are the "Everyone Wins" goodies and trips that range from mildly bizarre to truly extravagant:

I often do not even watch the Oscars. Tape them and then remove that recording at some time when I need the room.

Just like to see which movie wins and the like. I do like to see how the musicians handle the nominated Best Songs. Other segments are interesting too.

I still have not seen last year's Best Picture winner. Not sure if I want to. http://oscar.go.com/nominees/best-picture/moonlight
