Oh, you're a little more subtle than that...

Tell me, who did you guys most want to kill last night? My sisters and I decided that next time they should have Legolas and Gimli as security; any actor who goes past his time on his speech will be forced off the stage by an axe-wielding dwarf. Anyone who says "thank you" to more than fifteen people gets shot. And anyone who gives a standing ovation to Woody Allen gets eaten by Shelob.

I could only take a few seconds of Halle Berry before I had to mute it.

I tell ya, it's been a while since I have seen a show like this, so maybe I'm just out of the loop or something, but when Whoopie Goldberg came down out of the ceiling in that gold chicken suit. . .well, I couldn't believe my eyes. Matthew said "She looks like a chicken!" and Joshua just sat with his mouth open, in disbelief!

I turned to my husband and said "This is going to be hard to get through!"

Unbelievable.

Is this bad? The acceptance speech that annoyed me the most was Halle Barry's. I know that it's a wonderful achievement to win an Oscar, and she obviously had a lot of "emotional dollars" invested in being a racial barrier-breaker. I couldn't help thinking, however, of Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell standing up there in her place, saying:

"You know, I didn't win this award because I am black, I won it because I'm that good. And if you gave it to me because I'm black, you can have it back."

And then I felt kind of bad for raining on her parade, so to speak.

What do you think?
