Did all or most of the actors/actresses arrive via hybrid car? I saw a fleet of 'em in front of the Kodak Theatre during the Red Carpet segment. What a bunch of hypocrites... I'm sure most of them (including Al and Tipper Gore) arrived into the LA area via private Gulfstream jet...

Algore is nuts.
That's about as environmental he can get.
To: Dr. Scarpetta
My husband and I rented Little Miss Sunshine on pay perview. Neither of us cared for it at all.
Arkin had to be the sentimental favorite. He's been around forever..:)

All I could think about was the big gas hog limos causing gridlock getting to the Oscars. YEAH, the Oscars went green.
LOLOL

And many of them will be taking off on their Jets to go to a luxurious island to bask in the glory of their importance. I get so tired of having my nose rubbed in their "programs".

What is truly sad is that most of those folks who are supporters of this "mentality" just don't know the facts.
They know one side (with lots of holes/errors) which is inaccurate.
If I didn't have FRee Republic I would be believing the lines.. I truly would.
We are a vital force to spread the truth if people are willing to consider the options

Arkin has at least 5 roles he could have gotten a best actor for:
The Russians are Coming
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Wait Until Dark
Popi
The In-Laws.
It's about time for Arkin and Murphy has a lot of catching up to do to equal that resume.
