It seems you didn't understand what he said, so - as far as I understand it, he means that he stopped watching Oscars because he doesn't care which actors win what, feeling they're not relevant to his life. However, he's interested in the outcome of this topic, because he feels it's relevant to his life, him being a member here.
Making unrelated parts of the sentence emphasized in bold font style doesn't change the sentence's meaning, although it might appear to do so to some. To explain in simple sentences, first, he means that his previous statement is not a contradiction (I agree with that), and second, he provides additional explanation as to its meaning (apparently the difference is him having the chance of winning here, but not at the Oscars ceremony).
What he said was without a doubt a contradiction; to claim otherwise you would have to twist the meanings of his words
very far.
First he states '
the irrelevancy of such interests' and that he believes it
'bears little relevance the lives of himself and others.' See below.QUOTE(kagekaromamoru @ Mar 6 2010, 20:23)

why do people seriously care about which actor won what... its not really relevant to our lives
He then goes on to say that
he himself is looking forward to the results.
Again, see below.QUOTE(kagekaromamoru @ Mar 6 2010, 20:23)

i am excited to see who wins this though
That is; by all meanings of the word; a contradiction. It seem that it is
you, not I, who fails to understand what he has said. The
only way any ration person could come to the conclusion that his statements were
not contradictory; is to claim him almost completely hopeless in the written aspect of the English language. Therefore he is either incompetent; having phrased his replies highly incorrectly; or is a hypocrite.
To be honest I don't care; either conclusion suits me fine. What does surprise me is your belief that you can somehow ignore the obvious hypocrisy of his statements by providing an explanation that makes
far less sense; all the while doing so without any evidence to prove your claim.

It's easier just to call them stupid and move on, honestly.
In future perhaps I should just do that; much less hassle that way.
