Hollywood insiders have labelled Julia Roberts' speech at this year's Oscars disrespectful. Juila presented the Best Actor award to Denzel Washington, who she had openly campaigned for, and made no secret of her delight when the Training Day star won. But Movie bosses are seething that she was so biased towards her The Pelican Brief co-star. One source says, "We all know how she feels about Denzel, but the Oscar ceremony was not the place to show it. It was just very disrespectful to the other nominees, as well as their fans." Roberts has also been criticized for making a joke that fell flat after she mixed up some names. The actress said she was glad that Tom Conti wasn't around this year, confusing the actor with Bill Conti, the orchestra leader who she referred to as "stick man" last year - when he tried to cut off her speech. Another source says, "When she said 'Tom Conti' everyone looked at each other like, 'What did Tom Conti do to Julia?' Then everyone realized she meant Bill Conti and there was some embarrassed laughter." Roberts' spokeswoman couldn't be reached for comment.

Have some more ecstasty, Julia.

Roberts didn't have a moment at this year's Oscars that wasn't painful to watch. She is an insane clown and never was (IMHO) a Pretty Woman.

She is such a little twit. What a phony, just like the silicon implants that she sports. Has there ever been a bigger idiot in Hollywood? Oh yeah, I forgot about the baldwin boys.

They didn't use her legs in closeups during Pretty Woman and it also looks like they didn't use her brain either. What a "dizzy broad".

I guess I don't get it. What is supposed to be the appeal of that homely dimwit?
To: What Is Ain't
I thought this was what Hollyweird was all about.

She is as big a nut case as her brother, Eric. It must run in the family. That mouth of hers is so wide, it could accomodate 25 X42s.

Hay, Julia! (Come and get it).
To: What Is Ain't
A brick bat has more brains than this broad!
I find her rather "funny looking", I don't think she has any intellectual frame work, she has the morals of an ally cat, and she is the most ungracious person I could ever imagine. My dear old Daddy was right when he said, "beauty is only skin deep, son". Of course I always looked at my Mother and said to myself, "yea, he can say that he's got his". My Mama was a beautiful lady, and I do mean LADY! Just to show you how much my Dad though she was a lady, his nickname for her was Duchess, Dutch for short.

I've heard those lips are fake as well. She has had lip injection. Those lips look like they've seen alot of injection.

She apparently went to bed with the right people in Hollywood. It certainly isn't her looks or acting.

Silicon? I thought it was a Wonderbra. It sure has her audience wondering.
To: Mr.Smorch
Can't WAIT to see that broad fall apart when she hits 40 and some other brainless, talentless little 'ho' is Hollywood's darling! This is going to be fun to watch!
To: Mr.Smorch
It's not her lips that are big, it's her face that is far too narrow. Thin heads give me tne creeps.

Her brother is the intellectual in the family. I mean at least he is nobody but himself. I have more respect for him and none for her. Julia is a complete politically correct phoney. All the way to the bank. Pathetic they market her as talented. She's embarrassing.
