Hi Kimberly -- It was a bit silly watching the AA's last night (what little I saw) and seeing them lionizing little movies like the Aviator, and Million Dollar Baby because it would have been Politically Incorrect for them to mention the Elephant in the Living room, which was that POTC was the biggest and best movie of last year, if not of the decade. So typical of the libbers.
ABSOLUTELY! Although I do like Hilary Swank - mostly because of her back ground - she is living proof of an American Dream, I agree that the TRUE winner should have been the Passion, and swept every category! After what I saw last night, it was as though the Academy had a very small budget this year, made sure to ride the fence to stay politically correct ( as the recent displays of MM and others mouthing off have made the awards a place that you really do not know who will say what), and as if for some reason they just wanted to hurry up and get this one behind them. I wonder if there was a liberal gun stuck in their back? Too risky to stand up and be a TRUE American these days, I guess.
Generally, I hold out and shush the house quiet so I do not miss a minute, but last night, after seeing Chris Rock, I retired to my bedroom, floated around the computer, and went back just in time to see if Hilary won. Then, I passed out. Such a shame. And my opinion, I think Chris Rock sunk to an all time low - the Awards may be a pat on the back to some undeservings,but the ones who do deserve it - really didn't deserve him showing his butt last night.
