All the thousands of scientists who disagree with him and all the flaws in his "documentary," and I never understood how right Al Gore was until he was vailidated by a community of self-congratulating, Humvee driving, anti-nuclear power, private jet flying, mansion dwelling hypocrites who use up more electricity by turning on the lights in their 10,000 square foot houses than I use in one year.

"Oscar ballots were made from partially recycled paper and organic produce was served at the Governor's Ball. The academy joined with the Natural Resources Defense Council to reduce energy usage and increase recycling."

I can feel the Earth getting cooler already.

Keep in mind that most Oscars are given to works of fiction like "An Inconvenient Truth".

[toddlintown]

I lost count of the stretch limos that were pulling up with one and two people inside.

[dforest]

Oh goodness, more about Al and his GOREbal warming. When is this show going to air on Sci-fi channel?

[Archytekt]

Hollywood gave Algore an oscar? Wow! Who would've thunk it!

[nctexan]

Director's cut of 'Truth' reveals true source of 'Gorebal Warming'...

[Leto]

Another example of style over substance by Hollywood. I am sure they are Oh so proud of themselves for being so morally superior, LMAO.

Here, let me get some of that Hot Air out of you

I'm sure most of the celebs in that auditorium got there on a city bus or other form of mass transit. God bless them for reducing their carbon footprint.

The fix was in.We all pretty much expected this.If the Academy wants to cheapen itself for partisan politics then so be it.A lot of people won't forget this travesty though,I for one am done with Hollywood and won't be going to the theater again.

GOREbal warming is clever and might just catch on.

As we all know, this was nothing about his "crockumentary". It was all about him sticking his finger in Bush's eye.

The Hollyweird crowd (preaching to the choir, here) loves the money they make here, but they hate the US and its policies - PARTICULARLY those of the Bush administration.

Frankly, evrything I am reading indicates that the Oscars sucked swamp water and, IMO, hopefully there won't be another broadcast again. After all, what are they giving awards for? The movies in the past year have mostly been worse than dreck with virtually no true bright spots. So, to compensate for a year of mostly crappy movies, Hollyweird throws its annual drooling self-congratulationsfest to give awards for crappy movies with an equally crappy TV show.

And, they wonder why were are increasingly turning to old movies on DVD, computer games and "family time". Have they REALLY looked at their own product of late?

I concur.

"Other initiatives included rides for presenters and stars in hybrid vehicles. The academy said it had explored hydrogen-powered fuel cell buses to transport crew and other workers, but did not have enough time to do it this year."

"Meals for the hundreds of crew and cast members were served on reusable plates and biodegradable dishware."

"Food left over from the post Oscars Governor's Ball was to be donated to a local shelter."

Then they all flew private jets home.

I'm touched.

Not surprising - the Dixie Chicks were recently honored too. They haven’t had a hit recording for a long time and their concerts are often cancelled for lack of ticket sales. Oscars and Grammies are popularity contests for the Hollywood Elite, nothing more.

[theDentist]

And this year's "P.C. Whore of the Moment is..."

[savedbygrace]

IIRC, DiCaprio congratulated Gore for his film about 'glober warming'. I'm pretty sure that's how it came out of his mouth.

[patriotspride]

Consider this. Al was probably made up to the max, and still looks scarier by the day.

[Enduring Freedom]

the nytimes, the nobel foundation, the academy of motion pictures, academy of recorded music, etc. have all sold themselves out to the socialist cause

the left-wing conspiracy is vast and effective in manipulating joe public

the right-wing is impotent by comparison

[R. Scott]

Yep.
