[socal_parrot]

Hmmmmm....not one Bush bash.

[weegee]

The chill wind silenced him.

[eddie willers]

Well....he didn't bash Bush.
Hope that sets the agenda.

[summer]

If Tim Robbins isn't going to say anything about GW (and, he didn't), then, no one will tonight.

[Sloth]

Good. Baldwin would've made an ass of himself.

[Mo1]

Nice way Robbins sneak in the stop the violence stuff and seeking help

[Diddle E. Squat]

OMGosh, Tim Robbins speech, no politics and a great statement at the end

[xp38]

We still know what he's all about.

[lainie]

It sure did. He was censored! He's oppressed!

[cyborg]

Yes you can. I do :-)

[John H K]

He said a few days ago he wasn't going to say anything political, not sure why people were expecting it.

[mystery-ak]

I think those silver pins are peace symbols.

[goldensky]

He's saving it for the backstage interview - then he'll really let loose.

[rintense]

Does the previous winner present this years award? If so, we can count on seeing blubber, uh, I mean Michael Moore.

[eddie willers]

WOW....what are you....a stenographer?
Great recap.

[Qwinn]

LOL... I bet you're right, he'll come out after the Oscars and say "I -wanted- to say something, but I was afraid that Bush and his cronies in the White House would bash in my door in the middle of the night..."

Qwinn

[socal_parrot]

Maybe because he's an idiot?

[Hildy]

Robbins was fine and gracious. Let's hope Williams doesn't lower the fun so far.

[mass55th]

"Good. Baldwin would've made an ass of himself. "

Maybe he would have recycled his "If Bush is elected, I'm moving out of the country" speech.

[mewzilla]

He was censored! He's oppressed!

Only by his own greed.
