Oscar Night, Holy Night

Once again we’ve reached the most sacred, high-holy holiday on the cult of celebrity worship calendar. It’s Oscar Night.

Other sacred festivals coincide with the MTV Music Awards, the Emmys, Grammys and Cannes. There are also lesser known rites and cultic observances during the year such as the annual “Running of the Skanks”–a spectacle in which spoiled trust-fund tarts stagger out of a Beverly Hills night club and run up Wilshire Boulevard carrying very tiny dogs in Prada carriers.
