I'm perfectly happy to watch True Detective later, I'll be watching the Oscars same as I have since I was a little kid. No cynicism here, I still have the dream of that gold statue.
I'd love to win an Oscar. But I also love a quote I once read that, "the Oscars are a strange ceremony where the best in the movie business get together to celebrate and congratulate themselves on the kind of movies they don't make for eleven months of the year."
