[cyborg]

yeah people must have gone blank hearing the Bush jokes but not that... he made fun of Michael Moore too.

[mabelkitty]

No, newb.
We'd rather not have our CIC smeared with lies on an international broadcast.
But thanks for playing.

[mewzilla]

The people in the audience have nothing to do with what Rock says.

They were applauding it, weren't they? Anyone boo and/or get up and leave?

[Yaelle]

YAY!!!! MORGAN!!!!!

[wolficatZ]

Morgan! He deserves it. Did anyone see him on Leno a few nights ago? He rarely makes talk show interviews.

[Mo1]

that was pretty tasteless. Where's Billy Crystal?

They need him back .. that was the worse opening I think I've ever heard at the Oscars

[Libertina]

Alda (though good in Aviator) is a slimey liberal of the worst sort.

[RightWingAtheist]

He should have won years ago for Street Smart

[Afronaut]

What did you expect? Silly people.

[faithincowboys]

His little monologue and the reception it received are why I hate Hollywood. The gutless groupthink and duplicity bothered me. One second they are laughing it up about Bush's phony war and in the next minute they are thanking the troops who are "fighting for freedom". Those overpaid sh*ts need to make up their minds. God, I hate Hollywood.

[ChicagoRighty]

Love it!

[cyborg]

Agreed... he's a real gentleman.

Morgan Freeman is a tremendous actor. I didn't see any of these movies, but I have no doubt he turned in a great performance.

[jimfree]

U.S. actress Anne Jeffreys She's still alive? Isn't she the one who played in Topper?

"Anne Jeffreys as Marion Kerby" appears on an old tv site. Since the show ended in 1955 I would expect the "ghostess with the mostest" to be perhaps 75 by now. Same lady?

[Skooz]

Ah. So that is what perfection looks like.

[Lil'freeper]

Star Trek music for Morgan Freeman???? WTH??

[fortunecookie]

Hi, onyx! The best part of the oscar's is the red carpet. I do (blush) love to check out the gowns and hair and makeup and also the cute male actors. And the post Oscar interviews are often really good, even if for a laugh. I rarely watch the actual show. And I love the live freeper threads, it's like a big party! Hard to keep up w/ the posting sometimes, though, usually b/c I'm laughing so hard...

[Howlin]

I agree it was awful.

And Hollywood STILL doesn't get it, do they? Think of all the people in Red States who watched that.

[maggief]

CLASS!!!

[lavrenti]

I think Bjork is cute.

Good actress. I admired in how she said "I quit" after she won her Golden Globe. Nothing to prove.
