I don't think the Academy Awards will ever go away, and ignoring them certainly won't do it.  Slobodan Milosevic wouldn't walk away if his country just ignored his tyrrany.  It took the largest uprising that region has seen in 55 years to overthrow his reign.  Hollywood has had a stranglehold on (bad) moviemaking for nearly 100 years!  Imagine what kind of revolution is needed to overthrow Speilberg, Valenti, and Lucas!  Or maybe... just maybe... overthrowing Hollywood is dumb goal.  Maybe it's better to be true to yourself, to know the truth of your own existence, and to avoid falsehoods both in life and in the business deals of Hollywood.  And it's all a business out there, so my advice is to avoid it all.  **BEK**
