I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? What are they getting out of it? I don't quite get it.

Last week I was in London at an awards show, then I flew home and was in an RV park with my wife and kids in our motorhome, this week I'm in NY doing a charity event, and tomorrow I'll be coaching my daughters soccer practice.
