Who's that girl?

[Hildy]

Annie Lennox is the most talented woman singing today. That song just wasn't a good song for her. But she is a treasure. Please take my word for it.

[Trinity_Tx]

As we all (Texas girls) are! lol

[NYC GOP Chick]

I will, but that's going to have to wait a while -- I've been buying a bunch of CDs lately and need to stop for a little bit. :)

[BigWaveBetty]

But my God, who writes this stuff?

Amen!

But the Washington Mutual commercials are a scream....

[JulieRNR21]

I pay a fortune every month and only watch Fox News Channel....why can't I just pay for that one channel and exclude all the rest of the garbage?

:(

[Lil'freeper]

I believe the parachute blue nightmare is going to become legendary... shame the actress is unremarkable. I don't even know who she is!

[Maigrey]

You are welcome to do such.

[icwhatudo]

Enya-ROTK, the Bjork sound alike-TTT, and Lennox ROTK

Fantastic choices!

[small voice in the wilderness]

What about Nora Jones? THE BEST, IMHO.

[hole_n_one]

THE OFFICIAL OSCARS CAN BITE ME THREAD!!!

[Mo1]

How sad... and very obvious to everyone watching..

Considering he was the ONLY one so far to be cut off .. Yep it was very obvious

[Unknown Freeper]

bwaaaahahahhaaaaaa

[isthisnickcool]

What we need is some Freeper to take notes and post a summary thread after the articles are over.

Darn straight! The they need to come over and detail my cars and wash my dogs! The garbage cans need cleaning and the pool Polaris has some foreign stuff that needs to be removed from it's bag.

Oh, I jut remembered, I already have "people" for that. Well, then that "some Freeper" you mentioned can help!

[nycgal]

I don't do French film.

It's actually Canadian but I guess you don't do that too :)

[diotima]

I just saw what Uma Thurman was wearing....MY G_D!

STOP THE MADNESS.

[lizma]

Darn, I have to serve dinner now! (Anguished wail)

LOL! Been there, done that.

(And have to admit to a few nights of throwing a loaf of bread on the counter with package of bologna, screaming "fend for yourself" and get back to freeping.)

I'm not proud of that.

[miele man]

When Joan interviewed Robin Williams and some guy named Goldwaith (a comedian I suppose), he (Goldwaith) said his
suit was from Sears. He then corrected himself and said his wife bought it for him (an Armani suit).

[goldensky]

Micheal McKean, Lenny from Laverne and Shirley, is also a song nominee. He wrote a song for the movie A Mighty Wind. It should be coming soon.

[satchmodog9]

My wife watches it and I sit here on this thread every year. It is much more entertaining on FR.
