I didn't watch the oscar's ... I have a life. However, having read Free Republic I learned that Michael Moore was booed. It seems everyone is uplifted because Michael was booed by "his own kind". I hate to break the news but these elitist hollwood types have no character ... and this shouldn't be a BIG SURPRISE! Lots of Americans have shared anger that the hollywood jerk view's are not appreciated. The hollywood creeps are mostly afraid of losing the almighty dollar ... that's the main reason they booed Michael Moore. But Pleeeeeese ... don't think for a moment they disagreed with him ... because they don't.

Thank you very much!

What's amazing is that GONY was completely shut out! Not that I care -- I can't stand scorsace or any of his work and this was another self-serving gratuitous flick.

But I doubt Chicago was worth 6.

I think GONY took a lot of chances to be historically accurate... or at least look it, as far as I could tell.

I wonder if anyone in Hollywood even remembers how Astaire and Kelly filmed their musicals...long shots, full body. Chicago did the opposite, filming a musical as if it were an MTV rock video-- close-ups, quick cuts. Designed (imho) to jazz up the presentation when the talent comes up short. Does Gere really tap dance? From the movie, I could not honestly tell.

IMHO Daniel Day-Lewis deserved the best actor award. I suppose the problem was that GONY either got a lot of adverse advance publicity or was too violent, or both.

The point is that world-wide television saw a show that was at least respectful, and then the only person who spoke against the war was booed. Don't discount the effect this can have on Europe, the Iraquis, and the war.

Correction: I meant "world" not "war". Freudian slip.

Thanks for clearing up the story.

Also, Jacko once said too that he rejected advances made by Madonna (she also admitted it). Strange that no one in existence has ever claimed to have had sexual relations with Jacko...not even the mother of his children! Well, I take that back...only young boys have ever made that claim...

And, yes, Tatum is quite beautiful.

I believe it is his girlfriend (but I don't think she's an actress).

I've wondered about that in the past. How is it possible that the killers went bowling that morning? Before school??!! What bowling alleys are open at 6:00 a.m.

I am sorry I don't see this point. I believe world-wide we are seen as weak, corrupt, infidels. As the world watches our TV programs and movies we are measured as a nation as being similar. In reality NOTHING could be further from the truth. These people in Hollywood are NOT America, thank God!
Hollywood hates America and they least of all are able to see the reality that is us. This is a truth I do not discount.

It's simply the basis of just war theory as originally written by St. Augustine. See St. Augustine's Just War Theory

Thanks for the link! Great article. It seems like President Bush is following this in his war plans. God Bless him!

"It's not just you. I don't get the Teamster joke either."

I think maybe he used non-SAG actors for his film?

If we didn't go down there to FReep them, I wouldn't pay those two bit-citizens a dime's worth of attention.

Is that a subtle red white and blue reference of support for this nation? Surely there must be a mistake.

Why is it that these Hollywood women think their hanging boobs make a good show?
