COWELL: 'THE OSCARS REEK OF SNOBBERY'
Acid-tongued music mogul SIMON COWELL has slammed Sunday (24Feb08) night's Academy Awards - because the Oscars 'reek of snobbery'.
Simon Cowell out and about on the Kings Road. London, England - 09.01.08
The American Idol judge believes the ceremony - which exclusively rewards work on movies - looks down on TV series and television stars; and Cowell even claims he's viewed as "evil" in Hollywood circles.
He says, "They think I'm the antichrist. They don't like us TV people to be part of it - it's ridiculous. It reeks of snobbery."
And Cowell insists he wouldn't want to attend the star-studded event because he hates Tinseltown.
He adds, "I have nothing to do with the Oscars - and nor do I want to. I'll only go if someone has invited me.
"I hate the whole movie industry. It's so stuck up I can't bear it."
