Walt Disney hated cats and usually portayed them as evil and/or sinister. That probably led to his having good rats.

Kristin Chenoweth is from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, my previous residence!

(End of useless trivia :-).

Anything she did was front page new in the weekly Broken Arrow news!

I liked Ratatouille from a storytelling point of view. But I admit the idea of rats cooking for a restaurant is beyond gross. But then again, Remy was pretty likeable as a character. I dunno.

Hey that was a funny joke. Jon Stewart is 1 for 20 or so.

Oh, yes!

Shortage of fashion shots on this year’s thread - that’s what I’m really interested in!

I adore Cheowith - she has a beautiful voice and is a good actress.

Broken Arrow is a nice place. Excellent library, parks, and Catholic churches :-). And chickens!

I was thinking and if Academy really wants to streamline and improve this show they should pony up the money to whichever network is broadcasting it and make it a commercial-free broadcast. They can afford it.

I don’t dislike Kristin.. she’s just not my cup of tea. A little too earnest or precious or something.

Aw man, Golden Compass won something. A sinister flick if you ask me.

Thanks for posting these photos, Maggie.

Did Johnny Depp and his wife make the red carpet
run or did I miss them?

But can anything with Sam Elliot in it be really bad?
