Shuttin' up Sally...YEA Fox

Why does Hollyweird think that their opinions are more important than anyone else's? Does Gidget have a PhD in foreign relations? Walk up there, take your little award, thank your agent and sit down, you old has-been!

The only snippet I caught of the Emmy's was Sally in a red dress preparing to open an envelope to announce award winner. That was it. . .so am guessing I missed a 'prequel' here; or a foot-note.

Funny, always liked Sally; and for that fleeting moment, was relieved she did not go 'political'; and I thought great, she is keeping her 'class' here. Apparently she did. Too bad. . .really, too bad.

Another one, gets the 'gong'. . .

[L.N. Smithee]

Bravo, Fox entertainment for not being dragged into the political arena.

The writer is mistaken. Field wasn't censored for the political content of her speech. She was censored for using the word "g-ddamn." That's it.

[sit-rep]

Sally who?

[L.N. Smithee]

Sally Field. Actress. Gidget. Flying Nun. Sybil. Norma Rae. Places In The Heart. Forrest Gump.

[johnny7]

I believe two others were beeped out as well... of course, I only read about it.

[geezerwheezer]

I’m like you, I don’t watch this tripe either. Who really cares what some ditz from Hollyweird thinks, much less says, on a t.v. show of awards they give each other?

[Thrownatbirth]

Sally Field. Actress. Gidget. Flying Nun. Sybil. Norma Rae. Places In The Heart. Forrest Gump.

Burt Reynolds' receptacle, long ago.

[Earthdweller]

One of my favorite actresses of all time. I had no idea she was so dense. This is really sad.

[bannie]

After they’ve breathed hollywood air for awhile, most seem to become assimilated. Only the strong successfully resist, and there sure aren’t many strong hollywoodies.

[Earthdweller]

Burt Reynolds' receptacle, long ago.

That explains a lot. He probably did treat her like a recepticle.

The man makes me want to vomit.

[bannie]

Mine too.

Maybe bone loss causes dementia?

[Earthdweller]

I’m thinking it was abuse.

[bannie]

Causing multiple personalities?

[A knight without armor]

I always liked her a lot, too. I hate to see this. Just last week or so it was my other favorite, Helen Hunt who disappointed me. I did not care for Sally Field in Not Without My Daughter but I liked her other things pretty much. I can’t remember the name of the movie I liked where she has been left with a cotton farm and gets help from a black man to run it.

[Earthdweller]

I don’t know but she sure seemed confused when she was talking to “The people...the people!”

[trisham]

I saw the clip. She was almost incoherent at times. Sad.

[napscoordinator]

She should have stopped when she was ahead. As soon as she started thinking after that long banter of sputter, she would have been ok. I have stood in front of people and said things that I wish I hadn’t but never like that. Usually it is something stupid about work that was wrong or did not explain something correctly.

[napscoordinator]

You better take Ray Romano off your list too then. He said much worse that she did.

Heard O'Reilly comment; but did not hear Ray. Easy to take Ray off the list. . .but of course, he is 'short history'; and so I am less likely to be at least, 'as' insensed. . .

Sally, OTOH. . .'we go way back' ;^)
