Teeheheee!

[NYC GOP Chick]

Thank you for appreciating my sense of humor. :D

[weegee]

Sean Penn or Jimmie Durante???

[NYCVirago]

No. I bet that the faxed Talking Points were clearly to stay away from anything related to the Culture Wars for several reasons.

Maybe so, but Robbins did say beforehand that he wasn't going to get political if he won. Of course, nobody believed him, but he did keep his word.

[mabelkitty]

I'm strictly at Coalition of the willing gal, as my bar can currently prove ; )

[BigWaveBetty]

THE OFFICIAL OSCARS CAN BITE ME THREAD!!!

Isn't that adorable!

[Petronski]

JULIE ANDREWS: "God this starburst nipple brooch is killing me."

[cyborg]

hahahahahaha

[Recovering_Democrat]

Sorry HLL...I'm not watching. :)

[lainie]

[Lil'freeper]

Crystal is a nut! Voicing "thoughts" of various stars. Renee and Cherlize are both "Mrs. Billy Crystal".

[Not A Snowbird]

I'm back! What did I miss?

(Roast was overdone... obviously I'm not as good a multi-tasker as I thought...)

[NYC GOP Chick]

I'm kinda disappointed that nobody wore the swan dress this year!

[weegee]

Bobcat Goldthwait was in the Police Academy movies.

They'll let anyone into the Oscars these days...

[NYC GOP Chick]

I'm just warming up...

[don-o]

I just play here for a time. Thanks anyway

[al baby]

Aint jada a hot little women

[wizardoz]

Holy Crap, Billy Crystal's impersonation of Robin Williams just cracked me up!

[LisaMalia]

The people behind the scenes aren't stars. They aren't "cool" and should remain silent while their betters pose for the cameras

Welcome to the life of a limo liberal, and in this case a Hollywood Limo Libs.....Depp, Penn, Sarandon, her hubby, and all their ilk. They talk what they think is a good game, but live another. They are pathetic. They are frauds. They are losers.

LOTR up for Special Effects!
