Really? I could imagine they knew, and to put the anti-war category right after was a definite set-up.

Juno was a prolife film

That would come as a bit of a surprise to the writer, director, and star, who all say they are "pro-choice".

It was a cute, funny movie that mostly remained apolitical, but took a few digs at both sides of the abortion issue.

She wore that helmet thing because she was playing Queen Elizabeth in a film and had shaved her head.

The lower looks untouched, but the upper definitely looks inflated.
