I’ll agree with that!

And Tilda Swinton wins the oscar.

She was the winter queen in The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe, too.

Oh I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes right now. She looked completely shocked that she won. She looked better in the movie clip they just showed.

So, if Josh Brolin is James' son, then Diane Lane is Babs' daughter-in-law. hmm. Wonder what that's like at Thanksgiving.

Anyone else get the impression that about 30% of the winners are stoned?

And another 30% would not know their names without a cue card?

To think they bypassed Ruby Dee when a newbie like Jennifer Hudson gets a best supporting actress Oscar for crooning. 83 year old Ruby who turned in a magnificent performance. No justice! I'm pi**ed.

I think Jack N. is always stoned because he always wears sunglasses..............

the best part is the old clips. I hope this doesn’t mean that Clooney will upset Lewis..............

Travolta has stayed in Scientology just to hide the secrets in his auditing sessions, so don’t evpect him to come out any time soon. Not widely known, but in addition to drug rehab, Scientology claims their process works to “cure” homosexuality.
