Have You Satisfied Your Covid Compliance Officer?

The New York Times: Dr. Linda Dahl was pacing the alleyway off a sound stage at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Long Island City. It was 7 a.m. on a gray April morning, and Dr. Dahl, an ear, nose and throat surgeon turned Covid compliance officer, was overseeing testing for the nearly 300-person cast and crew of a TV production. Already it had been a long day.

I am glad to see that all these award shows are taking CoVID 19 safety very seriously. Personally, I did not think it was that necessary for them to meet in person this year as awards could easily be announced online. Plus, not many people are that interested in these award shows anymore. They seem to not fully represent the American populations opinions or diversity in their preliminary and final selections. Then again, awards are very subjective, too. All of these performances are subject to pure opinion. Personally, most of the Oscar winning movies I have seen are not my favorite. Although they showcase some amazing acting and directions, it is very obvious that they are pandering to a specific audience. I wish that we could somehow make the perfect award show which showcased the true representation of the American opinion but unfortunately I don’t think it is possible. Thanks for reading.
