I wasn’t paying attention, then my wife tells me to look, because of course it’s notable that they were being respectful to the troops. Tom Hanks introduces some soldiers who annouce the nominees for some documentary related award. The applause for the troops wasn’t too noticeable (and far less than later one when the guy made his dark side comment). So I’m like, well at least they did something nice.
Then I hear the people who won the award that the troops just introduced talking about the movie and this actress is crying about how important it was to make this movie about same sex marriage or something homosexual related.
I’m like WHAT?! They had the military introduce an award given to a movie about homosexuality (knowing the don’t ask don’t tell Clinton policy), NO WAY! Then they follow up with another award announced by Tom Hanks that included anti-Iraq war and anti WOT documentaries. The winner of that award gives some anti war lip service and the audience goes buck (must louder than when the troops were introduced).
I’m sorry, but that was not appropriate.
Hollywood bastards!
