Oscar Buzz: What's the Buzz Mean?

Feel like when we talk about Oscar Buzz its usually the gossip, reviews, general brouhaha that occurs around the Oscar. But there are at least two others kinds of Buzz I can think of honesty:

1. Buzz--did you know that the general consumption of alchohol and drugs at even pre-during-and-post the Oscars is estimated to be close to the GDP of Somalia? No, I made that up, but chances are it might be something comparable right? So that's one type of buzz--the inebriation the characterizes much of the event. Self-suffering (self-tortured is just not in anymore) actors, incapacitated producers, and their entourage(s).

2. Buzz--I don't know if this meaning previously exists, but really it should be added. Its the buzz that us "normal" folk can help in making. So here's my suggestion and hopefully I'll follow it through. Create your own Oscar Buzz.

Start with this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/movies/awardsseason/30carr.html. The Buzz is already catching on fire in the NYTimes. Everytime you see the phrase "generating Oscar Buzz," record the movie that's generating it and pull up BitComet or whatever other faithful Torrent Downloader you have and download the movies.

Start Compiling a List of Movies and keep a little pretty file for yourself on the articles that are relevant concerning them. Right before the Oscars are being announced, all participants in this imaginary working group (yes, it's a working group--this is a serious endeavor) will make their own predictions for the nominations that the Oscar committee will be made. And the one(s) closest to the nominations of the actual Oscars will be paid anywhere between 50-100 Egyptians pounds (20 US$) by every single participant of the working group. Now, if only this imaginary working group had some money to spare, it would make it worthwhile. Or should we go ahead anyway?

a) Does Somalia even have a GDP?
b) Like I said to Eureka, I will gladly partake in this competition by laughing at the chumps that lose all their money.
c) How badly do you want to be a Somali pirate?
