The Oscars for the People

Published by benistiphan at 10:58 pm under News Edit This

It’s Oscar night, and as I speak, millions around the world are glued to their television screen. Many tune in specifically for the award presentations, while others are more keen on watching their favourite stars parade themselves on the red carpet. Despite the uncertainties of the future and the downfall of the economy, the atmosphere during the festivities was positive and electrifying. Whether it’s a recession or depression, the rich and famous typically don’t feel the brunt of the hard times. They continue to be envied by ordinary individuals, because during times of desperation, even the struggling cling to the epitomization of others as way to escape from the harsh realities. Everyday, millions who work hard in order to provide food and shelter for their children have demonstrated the highest degree of resilience and perseverance. Let’s hope that one day their hard work and dedication are rewarded as well.
