Jon Stewart and I wonder why nobody gets excited at the podium when they win an Academy Award. I think the winners are suffering from the same syndrome in their acceptance speeches that I am fighting about writing personal statements for post-grad programs. They’re using their time at the podium to deliver a profoundly moving statement with rehearsed eloquence, forgoing the genuine elation about winning the big award!
So I’ve figured out how to direct the celebs into a more exciting Oscar night performance. I guess there’s nothing left to do but tackle those personal statements.
