He does, a church that helped both he and his son for a good portion of his living on the street. The unbelievable thing was every morning they packed up their belonging and left the room they had for the night when they left because it was first come first serve every night and often they came back and the space was filled.

The guy was awesome and I will tell you truly moved everyone in the room. I am 43 year old Texas boy and I have to say, I had a tear in my eye and a apprecitaion for what I have after that experience.

She said global warming was not a democratic problem nor a republican problem it is everyone's problem etc etc or sorta like that...not red problem not blue problem but green problem...i sorta tuned her out, it is very disturbing to me that these talented folks are so goofy about algore and global warming...i mean, i love Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor but I shuddered when I saw him gazing adoringly at Algore..so unseemly.

[paulat]

Did Etheridge just reference Democrats and global warming? Did I hear that right?

No...you heard wrong...she was actually very politically INCORRECT.

She said global warming wasn't "Democrat or Republican."

AAACCKKK!!! She actually said "Democrat" NOT "Democratic!!"

LOL!!! Looking forward to the reaction to THIS!!!!

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

Does anyone have a picture of Jack Nicholson at tonight's ceremony?

[Borges]

I think the Dreamgirls songs cancelled each other out in the voting.

[Horns]

Yes

[jaycee]

Yeah, she thanked her/his wife and when she first got up she kissed her/him on the lips. I just thought this in my mind was funny.........

[SomeCallMeTim]

To be honest, I went into Dreamgirls thinking it was a movie about The Supremes... based on their music. Stupid me... didn't know it was a broadway play... The realization (after about an hour) that is wasn't, just RUINED the movie for me..

Hook 'Em! I'm a BSChE, '81 from UT...and, a LIFE-LONG fan.

[roses of sharon]

Celine's song was Morricone's from "Once Upon A Time in America", a great, great, movie.

Have you seen it?

Robert DeNiro, James Woods, directed by Sergio Leone a beautiful period movie about a gangsters who are remembering their childhoods, it's takes place over 30 years.

Great!

[Horns]

Season tickets for over 20 years, praying this class is as good as the V Young one.

[SomeCallMeTim]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz not sure how much more I can take.... I thought posting would keep me awake.... but, there's only 3 of us. :-) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[RedWhiteBlue]

See the last three sentences on the history of The Supremes from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I was a season ticket holder from '81 to '86... but, then moved to La, and later to KY... kind of a long commute. I'm going to Austin in a couple of weeks...

[SomeCallMeTim]

Yea well.. NOT ONE Supreme song in Dreamgirls... just a bunch of over-acted screaming...

[Horns]

Don't forget your Ginger Bread pancake fix

Miss you Maureen, and James Doohan.... and, Jack!

[jaycee]

I saw the movie...it is really a great movie. I have a video of it that I taped years ago off of t.v. I may try to find time to see the movie again. Glad you brought it up. I was always taping movies and some I never have watched again. I always loved the movie "Giant" and taped it twice (forgetting I had already taped it). Oh, well, thats life!

[ClearBlueSky]

I suffered through the most useless, boring Oscars I've ever seen just to see Celine Dion.Shut it off after- didn't care about any current films.
She was the classiest/most talented thing on the show. Her dress was exquisite and her voice is magnificent.
I don't know what happened to Ellen Degeneres, or what it takes to make her lackluster and un-funny, but this broadcast did it. Felt like it was directed by Cheech and Chong, doped out of their minds. It was like 'Night of the Living Dead' with tuxes and jewelry.

[jaycee]

I am feeling the same way....I could have already slept at least one half hour.........~~yawn~~
