Ian Fleming invented the character in the 1950s. I think a lot of the Bond women had similar double entendre names in the books.

[weegee]

I believe so. Regardless of whether she wins tonight, people should check out Ghost World.

[Petronski]

Funniest joke in any film, ever:


Clouseau: Does your dog bite?

Man: No.

Clouseau pets dog, gets bit.

Clouseau: I thought you said your dog doesn't bite.

Man: That's not my dog.

[wizardoz]

Bill Murray as presenter... he's a loose cannon, let's see what happens.

[BigWaveBetty]

I got it, going to look for a pic.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am not sure about Uma's dress, but why is Janeane Garafolo behind her in a white mini-trench coat and Mary Janes?

[don-o]

People need to lighten up and not be so hypersensitive (or turn the dial if this show bothers them so much)...

This tired old argument is just inane.

I can let any manner of crap exist all about me. I can click the channel or close my eyes.

It's not just about television either

[Pylon]

Well, coke does lead to meth, kinda like a promotion.

[al baby]

Atweeker is a speed freak

God, this show is boring. Where is Mel Gibson? He's the only one I really care about seeing anyway. Although I liked The Lord of the Rings, I loved Seabiscuit and Master & Commander and know they will lose Best Picture to LOTR. Jim Carrey was just plain stupid, Billy Crystal is off, it's a horrible night. I was glad to see Rene Zellwegger win her category, the only good moment for me.
Think I'll go finish watching Braveheart on USA network even though I have the DVD.

[Dan from Michigan]

LOL. I didn't know. Sorry, about that.

[lainie]

:-)

no problemo!

[Lil'freeper]

Lotr up for best makeup!

[weegee]

Jim Carrey - Joke

He blasphemes the memory of Peter Sellers.

I agree.

Robin Williams can't hold a torch to Jonathan Winters' scripted and improvised comedy but who gets all the attention today?

[HairOfTheDog]

WOO HOO! Lord of the Rings! Makeup

Four for four!

[Not A Snowbird]

Noticed that right off. They're going out of their way to validate her "marriage". Grr.

[Lil'freeper]

BEST MAKEUP: ROTK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I am going to get flamed for this comment....but Susan Sarandon is one beautiful woman.

Don't forget the kitty litter syndrome. Things look ok on the surface...

[DoughtyOne]

The full dress looked great. She made an excellent choice.
