[rintense]

Susan has had work.

[Petronski]

What are the pins? Peace symbols?

I think it's a malformed Mercedes logo.

[Trinity_Tx]

LOL... OK... we'll keep the list going, but on my end, I would swap Julia with Rene Zellweiger (sp).

Can't stand Julia, and I think both her hair color and her dress color are yutchy.

(Oh gag, here's Tim Robbins - think it's time to take the dog potty)

[Unknown Freeper]

Someone get the hook on Robbins.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I love watching John Waters host the Independent Spirit awards, funny as hell, but not everyone's cup of tea, to be sure!

[weegee]

Tim Robbins kept it civil.

[Kieri]

Oh God, NOT Robbins...here he goes: "Oh boy! Wow! Thank you so much...this is really a lovely honor.

I'd like to thank my fellow nominees...(blah blah blah)...Clint Eastwood, you're so great...and you're making my mantle very crowded...Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon...the crew is fantasic...(blah blah blah)

Susan, I love you so much (gag, puke)..thanks for being the best friend I ever had...

In this movie I play a victim of abuse and violence, and if you are out there and is a person that has that tragedy befall you, there is no shame or weakness...in seeking counseling...thank you"

Wha? No politics?

[Endeavor]

Tim Robbins - why do they name off thousands of people in a thank you? just say thank you. Well he was gracious.

[NYC GOP Chick]

UGH! That a-hole just won! :(

At least he didn't make any dopey political speeches.

[rintense]

Nice message from Robbins, I think...

[HairOfTheDog]

He was a good boy.... I am so disappointed.

[GWPATTEN]

Her niece and nephew died in a tragic fire in NY around Christmas time. I don't even know how she could attend the Oscars while still grieving.

[mass55th]

Now's he's an expert on abuse.

[SMGFan]

What a decent speech by Tim Robbins.

[mewzilla]

Heh heh heh. Timmy chickened out.

[Houmatt]

No need. I am amazed.

[jbstrick]

Props to Tim. He bit his tongue.

[Maigrey]

Tim won, and he was on civil behavior. I'm (slightly) impressed.

[Petronski]

Tim Robbins, thank you. Instead of your scheisskopf political views, you extended an arm to the abused. Bravo.

[NormsRevenge]

Stop the cycle of violence. :-o

OK.
