So they put on a glittering show; to show the world all that they know
Money and spectacle to display; at the gilt altar of celebrity let’s us pray
The sycophantic praises begin; there are so many actresses who are thin
Its self-serving media circus at best; but our sexy Adele blew away the rest

Was it just me or was it all rather flat and boring this year. Perhaps once you see the self promoting event for what it is then it, inevitably; must lose some of the glamour. But I do think it is really important that the people in the film industry are recognised and lauded as they are not paid very much. The minimum wage rate or something similar I heard. For me Adele was the star of the show.
