hooray for Hollywood
Cinema capital cheers
Hooray for Hollywood is an ironic expression commenting on the entertainment industry's excesses, superficiality, or dramatic behavior.
Originally the title of a 1937 song celebrating the film industry, it now typically carries a sarcastic edge: She showed up with an entourage and demanded sparkling water—hooray for Hollywood.
The phrase suggests something is absurdly theatrical or pretentious.
