Whats the record for most???

Whatever it is, it had better be broken next year. Go, Mel!

[nutmeg]

Hey... Great job with the Tri-Staters, Viet Nam vets and Vietnamese Americans at the anti-Kerry rally yesterday. Your pics were fantastic as always! :-)

[AgentEcho]

Is that the girl next to Sean Connery?

[xp38]

But we like to watch anyway.

[LiveFreeOrDie_NY]

I'll go see The Passion AGAIN. Take that Hollywood.

[JulieRNR21]

The guy was American and was very clear in assuring us that our not watching MTV would achieve what we wanted......i.e. to hurt their profits.

My husband is on the phone right now checking into it.

Okay....we were misinformed by the other guy....we just learned that they only know what channels are in the tier we have purchased.

So he either lied or was wrong and led us to believe that we could have an effect.


I really wish there was some way we would only have to pay for FoxNewsChannel as that is what our TV is tuned to 90% of the time.

Thanks for ehlightening me......wish we had gotten the guy's name.

[KellyAdmirer]

Ben Hur won the most, one more than All About Eve, 14 Oscars I think.

[Lil'freeper]

The Sandra dress is quirky, but it suits her.

[wizardoz]

Uma looks like she ripped off the swags surrounding the table the wedding cake sits on, draped them around her, and cinched the whole mess at the waist with a her high school prom date's cumberbund.

[Lil'freeper]

LOTR up for best Sound Mixing!

[DoughtyOne]

[John H K]

Ben Hur, I believe, holds the Oscar record.

I think I'll skip this thread next year as I'm sure people have a gigantic conniption fit for every category TPOTK doesn't win.
