Important Oscars Live Thread Update

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Due to today's developments in Iraq, and the possible execution of our soldiers, The Guild will NOT be hosting an Oscar thread this year.

[Conservababe]

Oh, I want to take a look at the hollywood elitists being heavily guarded by their enemies, the National Guard.

I hope this scene makes Davis rue the day he called out the National Guard to protect their butts.

[Endeavor]

great decision, HLL. french the oscars.

[pepperdog]

Oh no! This is series!

[CheneyChick]

I've heard Susan Saradon is wearing some form of duct tape tonight.

Like this?

[SuziQ]

Thanks, HLL. I wasn't planning to actually watch the Oscars, but I'm sure most of us won't be in the mood for much frivolity anyway.

God Bless our Military

[nmh]

Thank God!

Who in their right mind would care anyway?

Charlie Daniels says it best.

Hopefully it will be over her mouth!

[ewing]

It would be a definite improvement.

[floriduh voter]

I applaud your decision. How ironic that although Hollywood is largely "red", there will be no red carpet tonight.

[mystery-ak]

Thank you, HLL...I don't think I could take much more today.

[Wphile]

Good. I seriously doubt many will be watching a bunch of pampered, spoiled, prima donnas strut around on stage to receive an award given to them by their peers anyway. Shame on ABC for even airing it.

[Rocko]

I've heard Susan Saradon is wearing some form of duct tape tonight.

I could tell her where to stick it. Here's hoping for the lowest-rated Oscar coverage ever.

Just a reminder:

An Open Letter To The Hollywood Bunch

Ok let’s just say for a moment you bunch of pampered, overpaid, unrealistic children had your way and the U.S.A. didn’t go into Iraq.

Let’s say that you really get your way and we destroy all our nuclear weapons and stick daisies in our gun barrels and sit around with some white wine and cheese and pat ourselves on the back, so proud of what we’ve done for world peace.

Let’s say that we cut the military budget to just enough to keep the National Guard on hand to help out with floods and fires.

Let’s say that we close down our military bases all over the world and bring the troops home, increase our foreign aid and drop all the trade sanctions against everybody.

I suppose that in your fantasy world this would create a utopian world where everybody would live in peace. After all, the great monster, the United States of America, the cause of all the world’s trouble would have disbanded it’s horrible military and certainly all the other countries of the world would follow suit.

After all, they only arm themselves to defend their countries from the mean old U.S.A.

Why you bunch of pitiful, hypocritical, idiotic, spoiled mugwumps. get your head out of the sand and smell the Trade Towers burning. Do you think that a trip to Iraq by Sean Penn did anything but encourage a wanton murderer to think that the people of the U.S.A. didn’t have the nerve or the guts to fight him?

Barbra Streisand’s fanatical and hateful rankings about George Bush makes about as much sense as Michael Jackson hanging a baby over a railing.

You people need to get out of Hollywood once in a while and get out into the real world. You’d be surprised at the hostility you would find out here. Stop in at a truck stop and tell an overworked, long distance truck driver that you don’t think Saddam Hussein is doing anything wrong.

Tell a farmer with a couple of sons in the military that you think the United States has no right to defend itself.

Go down to Baxley, Georgia and hold an anti-war rally and see what the folks down there think about you.

You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I’ve ever had the displeasure to hear about.

Sean Penn, you’re a traitor to the United States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your little, ”fact finding trip“ to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to think that we didn’t have the stomach for war.

You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this earth and won’t lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby. Freedom of choice you say?

Well I’m going to exercise some freedom of choice of my own. If I see any of your names on a marquee, I’m going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop going to movies if I have to. In most cases it certainly wouldn’t be much of a loss.

You scoff at our military who’s boots you’re not even worthy to shine. They go to battle and risk their lives so ingrates like you can live in luxury. The day of reckoning is coming when you will be faced with the undeniable truth that the war against Saddam Hussein is the war on terrorism.

America is in imminent danger. You’re either for her or against her. There is no middle ground.

I think we all know where you stand.

What do you think?

God Bless America

Charlie Daniels

I'll never watch their back patting, self serving "award ceremony."

[Allegra]

You rock, Hill! Classy move. We, unlike the anti-America crowd, have our priorities straight. :)

[freekitty]

You certainly are a class act.

[AnnaZ]

I've been having an argument with myself for days over whether I should watch this tonight or not -- part of me feels I need to for fodder for Thursday's show, part of me knows I can't stomach a three+ hour America/Bush-bash fest. And I can't go to the "Liberate Oscar" rally tonight due to physical limitations...

 

I will take all ideas on how to make it survivable, should I decide to sacrifice my blood pressure for entertainment purposes... I am considering a With Us/Against Us tally sheet and a starting arsenal of 22 cruise missiles -- ranging in representation from Winnie the Pooh to Shamu, with all Sponge Bob and various Disney/Pixar characters in between.

 

Help wanted.

[Pippin]

Hi, HLL!

Good move! :^)

[Blue Collar Christian]

Are their butts being protected from us FReepers that are going down to Hollywood right now? Or are they so confident that they are American Icons that terrorists want them gone? And they would all be dead heros?

I guess I just don't get it.

[Conservababe]

Oh, I think that their egos are big enough to fear that terrorists have targeted them directly. Remember after 9/11 they were fearful to the point of nervous breakdowns. LOL

[Lee'sGhost]

Understand shutting down the discussion, but I'm going to be watching the show. There are some people who are going to do some real stupid things and I want to see it as it happens. Maybe Tim Robbins will set himself on fire in protest.
