And they're boring
If the newsfeeds are to be believed, I am the only person in America who isn't fascinated by entertainment award shows. In fact, I find the idea that I should be entertained watching the entertainment industry give awards to itself repulsive.
vainglory
noun
1. Boastful, unwarranted pride in one's accomplishments or qualities.
2. Vain, ostentatious display.
[Middle English vein glory, from Old French vaine gloire, from Latin vāna glōria, empty pride : vāna, feminine of vānus, empty; + glōria, glory, pride.]

The solid waste industry has more impact on my life, but they don't ask me to watch their awards. (Horrifying solid waste statistic from above link: In the United States in 1996, nearly 210 million tons—about 4.3 lb. (2 kg) per person daily (up from 2.7 lb./1.2 kg in 1960)—were collected and disposed of by municipalities.)
