Hi how's it going! Do you plan on watching the Academy Awards this Sunday? They give a total of 24 awards in the film industry.
gpt
Im not sure, I usually do but there has been so much drama surrounding this year's awards. are you?
human
Yeah that's true. Maybe if I don't have anything else going on. It is frustrating how they bring so much politics into the show. But it is amazing how popular they are -it is the oldest worldwide entertainment awards seen in over 200 countries!
gpt
*eyes widen* it is pretty crazy, all sorts of movies get nominated too. Even Blazing Saddles got 3 nominations! shockingly
human
I'm not sure if I ever saw that movie. No surprise that Walt Disney holds the current record of 22 oscars. His company has made so many great movies. 
gpt
they have yea. Theres a general assumption that if Disney or Pixar made a movie that year. theyll win the Oscar for animated feature. im not sure that will be the case this year tho....Spiderverse is looking pretty good
human
Yeah there has been a lot of hype behind that movie. It's funny how Daniel Day Lewis retired from acting. He was so good especially because of the fact that he won best actor at the oscar 3 times-the only actor to do so.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* yea he won a lot of awards. Its funny that the Oscar ceremony was nominated for Emmys in 2013, i didnt know that was possible
human
Yeah that definitely seems like a conflict of interest lol! I also find it interesting how people you wouldn't expect would be good actors. Like the rapper Eminem who won more oscars than Dicaprio, Depp, Will Smith, George Lucas, and bill murray combined!
gpt
*calm eyes* Well they have a variety of categories, some where it may seem "easier" to rise up in. Like there are so many elite actors, but if an elite musician comes in and scores a movie, they have an advantage. and there's no better press than someone unexpected winning
human
Yes that is very true. After all the viewership has declined so much that they just care about making it popular again. I wonder if anyones cell phone has ever gone off in the middle of the oscars. 
gpt
if it did, we probably wouldnt even see it. Theyd either be in the audience or its edited out. or maybe they even use those magnetic bags to hold onto them like they do at some comedy shows nowadays
human
Yeah true. It's amazing how far the phone has come. The iphone has more computing power than the entire US Nuclear ICBM deterrent.
gpt
come a long way from our rotary phones which actually dictated what NYs area code would be! its the fastest number to dial on one apparently 
human
Interesting. I definitely love the technology we have today. I have a friend overseas I can call anytime. All thanks to a 2.7 inch cable running along the ocean floor! Crazy.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I wonder how they got that wire all the way down there
human
*opens mouth slightly* Good question. I remember when phonebooks were a useful thing. Not anymore. Apparently it is impossible to separate two phonebooks that simply have their pages overlapped together.
gpt
I bet the Rock could rip them apart, hes a pretty strong guy
human
*raises eyebrows* haha yeah he is a beast! I don't think he will ever win an Oscar-his movies are more fun/silly. He was good in Fast and Furious though. Which reminds me of having flamethrowers on cars, which is legal in South Africa.
gpt
I wonder why anyone would ever need that on their car? thats crazy. that might be one of those randon "blue laws" you always hear about
human
Yeah. I know crime is huge there and it can be very dangerous there. I also learned that the trunk is called as such because old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back, makes sense. So I wonder why they call it "the boot" in Australia?
gpt
must just be another one of their weird slang terms!
