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. It's OK as long as they thought about it.

Any which way you look at it, between Moore and Gore, the Academy has effectively changed the category to Crockumentary.

Fitting that the award was presented by a comedian. The whole "documentary" category is a joke...

Jerry Seinfeld got it right when he introduced the documentary category as: "incredibly depressing". Gore wins by a landslide!

10" of snow in parts of northern and central Iowa today. Biggest snow of the year. Freezing rain, power lines snapped.

The Oscars also honored the passing of Leni Riefenstahl, Nazi Propagandist. This shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Instead, Gore said he was dedicating all his efforts to pressuring governments to act on climate-crisis issues. "It is the overriding world challenge of our time," Gore said.
Silly me, here I thought the overriding world challenge of our time was to stop the spread of death and destruction that calls itself islam.

Didn't Rush say Al spent $500,000 of his own money promoting the film to the Academy members? And who said Hollywood couldn't be bought....but then I guess that is what Hollywood is all about...Money and Power.
I spent the weekend watching old movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, and Casablanca...ah for the good old days when Hollywood was about spending money on making good entertainment.

I was thinking that they should retain the "Documentary" category, but be honest and add a "Propoganda" category.

A guy at the gym thismorning mentioned that "Al Gore invented the Oscars".

The world takes the clowns of Hollywood entirely too seriously!

Because Gore situates has fat butt in the United States and infects these United States with his hypocricy and lies, I consider Gore a greater threat to this country than Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler were in WW II.

I think "that's it" for me in terms of watching or giving 2 squirts of pi** ever again about the Oscars. Screw them.

I missed the Oscars again. I had something more important to do, sleep.

No ribbons this year. The new limousine liberal cause du jour is "green." Hilarious. People who drive gas guzzling Range Rovers, and own ozone-busting private jets, telling the world to recycle. I had to keep grabbing the remote to get away from the blah-blah of the liberals and the painful dance numbers. Sheesh. Cut the dance numbers already. They always stink up the joint!

They were giving us little people pointers during Melissa Etheredge's performance, so here's my list. Hey Hollywood, this is how YOU guys can help with the "man made" global warming problems!
1. Sell your mansions and move into an apartment. If you're single, move into a studio.
2. sell all your cars (including hybrids) and ride your bikes, walk or take public transit.
3. never, ever fly in a public jet and fly with the rest of us little people.
4. don't buy new clothes, buy recycled clothes at the Salvation Army.
5. always bring tote bags when you go shopping. And not just for grocery shopping. Bring them when you buy ANYTHING. You'll save SOOOO many plastic and paper bags that way!
good luck!
