I saw on PMSNBC the report about Michael Moore being booed. Did he win for "Bowling for Columbine"? I figured he would; that is just too juicy a target for the Hollywood libs.

Great to hear about the Oscar for Sound Editing for TTT. Hate to hear about Andy Serkis; why can't they just keep their damn traps shut?

Mornin' All.

How quickly we've been reminded that "War is Hell."

I am not discouraged. I'm saddened at our loss. And I'm pissed off at the mediots for making it sound like we're losing.

God, be with our troops.

Heheheh.... Tehanu at TORN gets the the funny we all missed, wondering about the parallels between Sean and Andy, and their characters:

Sean Astin prays for troops, comments on Oscars.

Sean Astin appeared on Joan and Melissa Rivers' miniature red carpet to send a message out to our troops in Iraq, via television. In short, he said that since the beginning of the war he got down on bended knee to pray for them, and that he's still praying for them and for a victory, and that he hopes for their safe return.

Also, Joan and Melissa asked him if it was a disappointment to them (the LotR cast and crew) that Peter Jackson wasn't nominated. Sean replied by explaining that they had pretty much prepared themselves for disappointment with these films (implying that they are getting less credit than due). Overall, Sean was very serious and genuine, and kept a solemn air about him.

Greenleaf sent a link to this picture of Andy Serkis [Gollum] at the awards; [More] You have to wonder if Serkis and Astin disagree in real life as much as their characters do.
