I think last night’s Oscars show symbolizes at least some of Hollywood’s self-created problems, starting with the underwhelming host, Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” fame, and culminating with the pimp-song dance routine. It trivializes where it should be grand and it glorifies what should be, if not condemned, at least treated with caution and scepticism.

Hollywood is indeed out of touch, but perhaps not in the way that George Clooney meant in his speech. One can hardly expect a small sub-group of America to closely resemble the political leanings of all of America, but it should be fully reasonable to expect Hollywood to master audience-dazzling entertainment.
