And it comes to a close without any political bashing!

Damage control perhaps. Besides, it's not an election year.

Al Gore didn't win a couple of awards. Etheridge won one of them. No bashing of President Bush or Republicans. That votes joke was too-obvious acknowledgment that Gore was present. If you think this was really political compared to what he Oscars were in the 70s...

I thought the same thing, and trolled around Wikipedia.

It looks like he's making a movie where he and Morgan Freeman are both terminally ill, so that might explain it.

Ellen did fine. I don't know what you were expecting. If anything they should drown that idiot doing the behind the scenes moments.

Jack looks chemo bald...not voluntarily bald.

Jack is chemo bald for a movie role that he is shooting now about a couple of men with cancer who leave a cancer ward and go on an adventure...

I agree. She filled the role without trying to take over the show.

I agree with the little or NO politics.

We cant be so fragile we cant get passed some of the comments.

Again I say the problem with the Global Warming Mania is they don't know the facts. They have heard/learned ONE set of facts ala Gore.

I consider myself a conservative but I also consider myself responsible for/to my environment. Personal responsibility in all areas of life I think are conservative principles

I am sorry that no one mentioned our troops...they spend a lot of money on movies and those who send care packages will confirm that movies are always on the top of their wish list. It helps them pass the time....

Yes, I think many of the really excellent movies have these two factors.. when dealing with war, gangland, police corruption etc.. this is to be more or less expected. People who are uncomfortable with either or both will find movie selections small

"I consider myself a conservative but I also consider myself responsible for/to my environment. Personal responsibility in all areas of life I think are conservative principles."

Yep....Me too. The fact that the Gorons think they can control EVERYTHING with gov't (and without an ounce of God) irritates me to no end. And, that they think THEY ARE THE EXPERTS! It's just that they get the MOST MSM attention!
