Ya know, Renee's looks do nothing for me, but agree that she has been pretty classy tonight. In fact the whole show has been good, all things considering. The entertainers are entertaining, as it should be.

[rintense]

Hell, even Bill O'Reilly said Jim Cavezel should be nominated for an Oscar.

[Mo1]

I thought they weren't going to interrupt speeches with music???

[DoughtyOne]

[John H K]

Not to mention the FR fit of rage for every category it isn't nominated for or doesn't win, including best animated short, etc.

[Trinity_Tx]

"We learned that some of our money is paid to the stations we watch after calling Dish Network about MTV after the SuperBowl."

Hmmm... I'd for sure double-check that info.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Michael Powell will be fining you for that post tomorrow.

[Houmatt]

Come on Destino

[isthisnickcool]

Here is a question for anyone. Bob Hope once said a certain place he had visited had the best view he had ever seen anywhere in the word. What was that place?

[weegee]

If you post that photo, would that be self-abuse?

[Houmatt]

Damn. I wanted to see Roy Disney call for Michael Eisner's head.

[small voice in the wilderness]

I just got back from The Passion. I am at a loss for words...and that's saying a LOT coming from me.

[RightWingAtheist]

Big cheer from me for Aaron Schneider (or was it Andrew Sacks?)

That brief dedication at the end of his speech made up for all of last year's reprehensible America-bashing.

[mass55th]

I agree with you that Caviezel should be nominated...Mel as well, but it's up to the powers that be and they can shut him out if they want to be the bastards we know they can be.

[AnnaZ]

LOL! If Vera's free.

[beckett]

Billy Bush, the ABC entertainment reporter who was one of the featured reporters at the opening of the Oscars, not Tom Hanks, is a first cousin to George W. Bush. He is the son of George H.W. Bush's brother Jonathan.

Your post was a little confusing so I wanted to make that clear.

As for where it's written, dunno, but I know he is. Google it and you'll find it confirmed somewhere.

Hey Powell! This moon's for you!
