I'll get my play-by-play and analysis from Drudge.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Will do. Thanks!

[freedumb2003]

Jeeze, I let this whole thing throw me.

I should know better.

[Lil'freeper]

I think they recycled Bjork's dress for that one.

[mass55th]

"Ha! Julia Roberts is an ugly blond."

Is that Pee Wee Herman she's with? Hee hee.

[mewzilla]

I don't know about Bjork, but I just saw her dress :)

British actor Jude Law (news) arrives with his companion, Sienna Miller, for the 76th annual Academy Awards (news - web sites) Sunday, Feb. 29, 2004, in Los Angeles. Law is nominated for best actor in a leading role for his work in 'Cold Mountain.' (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)

[HairOfTheDog]

I've never seen proof to dispute it.

Now you have. Out of the mouth of the babe. If you clicked the link.... he says he also believed what you believe, until the test.

[Petronski]

Someone lost a bet.

[Hot Tabasco]

Looks to me like a big B for BillyBob.....

[Trinity_Tx]

I'm so looking forward to seeing Peter get the recognition he deserves.

He took a huge chance making those movies. A lot of us who were Tolkien fans from before, were reluctant to see anyone even try to commit such a masterpiece to film. But he did an awesome job.

[GeneD]

Well, if they don't like musicals, there's always The Best Years of Our Lives. Riveting drama, so I'm told.

[NYC GOP Chick]

who was wearing it this year?!

[Qwinn]

Yeah, I've never been all that hot for Julia Roberts, but at least she's wearing one of the less absolutely hideous dresses on that floor tonight.

I had no intention to watch this or even participate on this thread, and just relax watching Braveheart. But I'm transfixed now. It's like watching an endless series of traffic accidents as most of these women's pictures get posted.

[newzjunkey]

Finally a man who looks like he's heard of a tailer! Score one for the Brits.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

OK. So, I take it his apology meant nothing to you? Depp doesn't bother me.

Depp doesn't bother me either, anymore than a cockroach.

Depp is no different than any of the other grubs that infest the entertainment world. Jane Fonda "apologized" a few years ago for any distress she may have caused families of men killed in VietNam. Too little, too late. These folks are supposed to be adults, but they still hang on to their adolescence.

If only that long awaited earthquake would come and push L.A. and San Francisco into the Pacific. Now that would improve the state of the Union immensely.

[Unknown Freeper]

Okay, the obnoxious interviewer made up for the other crap by introducing Keisha (the girl up for an award) to Johnny Depp. We may not like his politics but she had said he was the one person she wanted to meet. Teenage girl moment.

[Petronski]

No no, Mr. Bond, I expect you to lisp!

[Ganymede]

Someone please tell that interviewer guy that it is rude to lean over someone (even if it is Baldwin) to talk with someone else

That interviewer guy is Billy Bush - the President's cousin. I'm surprised Baldwin talked to him.

[weegee]

Just checking in now...

What's the pool for the first antiBush statement? 5 minutes, 10 minutes in?
