The memoriums are always touching but they should turn down the audience sound - it just becomes a popularity contest.

[DoughtyOne]

If that wasn't a Bull Sh-t line by darling Billy...

[Mo1]

I don't think so . that was a jab a Ashcroft

[krb]

Surprised they clapped for Eliah Kazan.

[NTegraT]

"I thought fighting in Vietnam was justified" I knew there had to be someone else.

[dep]

director of something called "the frog and the moor" or somesuch. no one actually saw it. for documentary, they usually just select the name out of a hat.

[weegee]

Ben Kingsly applauded. Any others observed clapping to the "down the rabbit hole" comment?

[Porterville]

I missed it, what was the rip on the war?? I was listening to Drudge and reading a book, while typing a paper... my girlfriend won't tell me what the lib said.

[Rik0Shay]

Are you sure it was a failure?

[Hand em their arse]

on the same page, see 2131..

[stands2reason]

Then go away.

LOL, not likely to happen. Apparently some people get off on things that repulse them.

[Clemenza]

OK, why did Diane Keaton pull the Annie Hall getup out of mothballs? Whe decided to pull Diane Keaton out of mothballs? (Louis Lasser will always be my favorite Woody chick).

Oh man, a tribute to Gregory Peck, the man who did his darndest to bring down Judge Bork.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I dunno. Some fugly dude got an award and started with the anti-war bullclinton. Even Tim Robbins and Alec Baldwin had enough sense to shut their pieholes about that tonight, but not this assclown!

[Lil'freeper]

Yeah. We sure lost a lot of great talent this year.

[Johnny_Cipher]

I have been here since 98, and I show up sometimes to challenge foolishness troll.

I see.

[Hildy]

I think Billy Crystal was referring to the guy who made the speech, am I wrong here? You people are SO FREAKING SENSITIVE!

[pitinkie]

Reading a new book on her now...she was bisexual.

[isthisnickcool]

I see dead people....

[Reagan79]

Tim Robbins of course.

[xzins]

I just returned from watching it....awesome movie.

I'd say approximately 2/3 to 3/4 was violent....the torture inflicted upon Christ by His enemies.
