How To Trade The Oscars...For Superior Entertainment

I'm no stock market expert. I couldn't tell you how to bank on the financial success of Columbia's SNE The Social Network or the critical acclaim of The King's Speech. But I can still tell you how to trade the Oscars…for superior entertainment. That's right, folks – if you're sick of award shows, if you can't stand another lengthy acceptance speech, follow these three simple steps to survive next year's award show season: 1. Grab the TV remote. 2. Change the channel. 3. Enjoy! As an alternative, you could use award shows – especially the Oscars – as a substitute for prescription sleep aids, just by following these other simple steps: 1. Grab a pillow. 2. Grab a blanket. 3. Get into bed. 4. Let the sleepy sounds of boring acceptance speeches sooth you into a peaceful slumber. See how easy that was? And thanks to a 10-year deal with Disney DIS, you will be able to sleep through ABC's presentation of the Oscars for another decade.
