Billy Crystal should be given a life long lucrative contract to host the awards.

Yeah I have no issues with Owen. His nose shape is as distracting as SNL made it out to be, but that’s not his fault. :)

That ‘mrs. tootly-pootly’ short animated film looks interesting. Where do you find these shorts?

I find his nose a distraction also but I did find him quite sexy in “Behind Enemy Lines”. All soldiers melt me anyway.

In a sense, his nose makes him have an even more interesting appearance.

They’re not saying hope and change enough. Drink anyway, it’ll help.

I don’t get the idea of Cate Blanchette being one of several actors playing Bob Dylan in the same movie. And the rest are men.

Hey I just saw Wesley Snipes in the audience.
