I know, wish it were not so. They look wonderful on the people who use them.
Brit shaved her head because she was so drugged out she was on the edge.

Ellen said if it weren't for Jews, blacks and gays, there would be no movies... Terrific. And yet it's white Christians, who for the most part, buy tickets for these movies.
To: LdSentinal
Actually she said there would be no Oscars.
To: psychopuppy
Yes, I stand corrected...she said there would be no Oscars and there would no one named Oscar either...
To: LdSentinal
Actually movie ticket sales are way down, according to Michael Medved. Movies aren't for the mases anymore. They are for the cognescenti. The grand thing is that the cognescenti have reached critical mass.

Wow, Dolly... you've done a fabulous job on this thread! Just catching up now...
So did most of the Hollyweird crowd arrive via Toyota Prius? I saw a fleet of hybrids dropping off stars during the red carpet segment. What a bunch of hypocrites.. I'm sure most of them arrived in the LA area via private Gulfstream jet...

My wife is going to kill me if she missed Best Supporting Actress (she want Hudson to win)...

I'm sure of that, especially last year when several presenters complained about the growth of DVD sales.
To: daisyscarlett
The Oscar telecast has been steadily losing viewers also... The viewership among FReepers is so low, we can't even get good flame wars started. One hour into the show and less than 300 posts. This is embarrassingly slow!
To: DollyCali
Hi Dolly! Any winners yet?
To: daisyscarlett
Seems that way, particularly among Freepers. :)
