Nonsense, they knew the odds of embarrassing the troops were great by giving them this slot. They should not have chanced it, a faux “honor” to them, (with only slight applause), then to dishonoring their lives and mission, (with huge applause).

Believe me, if this were one of their special interest groups or causes, they would not have risked it.

Ethan’s two speeches were classics.


Ethan? As in Coen? It can’t be Ethan Edwards... What was said?

I couldn’t get through that one. What a shock this is and I don’t think deserved.

Just go to www.imdb.com and look up the movie(s) he was in. Then match his picture/name to the list of people who have died.

My recollection is that Ethan Coen said “Thanks.” The second time, he said he didn’t have anything more to say than the first one.

AMPAS doesn’t know who’s going to get applause or how much. That said, you’re right that the Doc categories are always controversial and they should have given them Art Direction or something. Good idea. So so execution. Remember the award the troops actually gave out was to a same sex marriage special pleading short film.

It is also pretty well known that Travolta’s son, Jett, is austic. It has been speculated that they keep him pretty much hidden because of it, Scientology of course doesn’t recognize such a “disorder”. His daughter Ella Blue is making a movie with him soon but you never ever see Jett.
