My wife's watching it, and I heard part of Clooney's acceptance speech.

I liked how he congratulated Hollywood on giving a black woman, Hattie McDaniel, an Oscar in 1938.

He didn't mention that they didn't give another one to a black woman for something like sixty years, and then she was barely even half black.

So very enlightened, that Hollywood.

[HHFi]

Clooney also didn't mention that Hattie McDaniel wasn't allowed to eat at the same banquet where she got the award, and she was crying when she said she hoped she'd always be "a credit to my race" because she didn't want to say that but was ordered to say it by the MGM studio bosses. The trouble with Clooney's history lectures is that his audience knows more about history than he does. Not hard.

Wasn't that Hattie McDaniel brag the most stupid??

Join the club. My husband isn't watching it either..:)

Clooney isn't known for his intelligence or wit. IOW's he's a dim bulb.
