Award shows, worth the hype?

While I sit at home on the couch watching all of the award shows going on this season, I question whether all of the red carpet pre-shows, performances during and post parties are worth it? In my opinion, yes it is.

Actors, actresses and performers work day in and day out to provide us with the songs we sing, as well as the movies and shows we watch daily, so why not celebrate them. It’s a good time for them to be honored for making us all laugh, cry, or even just smile.

If a movie wins an award, are you not more likely to go out and see it because apparently it’s a great movie. It might have won an Oscar, so go see what the hype is about!

I feel like up till the show, the red carpet is one of the biggest talked about part of the day. People see pictures of dresses on the high-fashion runway and wonder when would anyone wear that. Well go watch the red carpet pre-show. It has your answers. The red carpet gives you the vision by putting our favorite actresses/performers in those dresses. They give them personality and realistic-sizing that we don’t see from size-less models. I know there is barely anyone who can afford these dresses that we see but they also inspire what we buy in stores everyday.

When girls get ready for prom, what do they bring with them to the salon? Most likely a picture of an actress or performer that they saw at an awards show and decided to use their hair-do for inspiration.

There’s tons of websites such as Pinterest that one can go on and find a picture of their favorite ensemble and a “how to get this look” link with it. Without the hype of the dress on the red carpet from fashion experts no one would think anything of it. Since nail fashion is a big thing this year, E! Channel decided to do a “mani-cam” where we could analyze everyone’s nails and jewelry on their hands. This adds to the idea of we get our fashion from them.

With all of the new social media the hype of award shows is at an all-time high. Getting the viewers interacting with the actual hosts at the show can be something different for people. So if you have a chance at seeing your tweet or comment run at the bottom of the screen on national TV, why not take that chance. That’s exciting!

You get to see your opinion on maybe how awesome Jennifer Lawrence looked at the Oscars or the amazing performance done by Justin Timberlake at the Grammys.

The hype is totally worth it. It gives us all something to talk about. It proves to us that actors and actresses are not everything we see in movies. They are real people too and deserve to be rewarded for what they do. We both win, viewers getting fashion ideas and a different view on which they’re watching. The guests to the show get rewarded for their amazing talents! The hype is totally worth it.
