"I am not thrilled by those who are obsessed by self-adulation and dubious world views. But after the kids in the Academy are long gone, God will still be around. He doesn't even need anyone to boycott them either, because he really can take all the punches these contenders can deliver."

Oscars?
Have they had the Oscars already?
I didn't miss anything, did I?
But, like the frightened children in the dark that some of them are, Hollywood doesn't accept that premise at all! Why else do you think there is much passion about the evils of second hand smoke, while The Passion of the Christ is treated with disdain?
Having little interest in the subject I almost didn't read this article. Glad I did. This gal has some good stuff in there.
"I was listening to talk radio the next day and heard 74 year old's Clint Eastwood's post award comment "I'm just a kid." That statement got an enthusiastic response from the crowd. And look, I realize that most people considered that sentiment cute or certainly even an inspiring way to look at his life and his energy."
Talk about taking a quote out of context! Mr. Eastwood was comparing himself to his 90-something mother who was on hand to see him get his oscar. He thanked her for his genes and said, compared to her "I'm just a kid". He's old and he knows it, nor does he try to hide it with hair dye and surgery like so many others. I haven't seen any of these 'controversial' movies... yet. I did see Passion of the Christ and thought it was a gory bloodfest, and a good, but not great, movie.
