Here’s a real life version of that—she now has 7 kids total at 16:
16-Year-Old Gives Birth to Second Set of Triplets

I really do not care who they give their awards to. Once in awhile a movie will interest me and I will think it deserves an award. Rarely would I choose the same movies they choose. I’m not even interested in seeing many of those films, let alone following along to see if they win awards. The actors have no problem insulting everything I value. Why do I care if their peers like their performances or not? Hollywood loves itself. That’s not interesting news.
Not just the actors, but the directors, screenwriters and every other filthy, treasonous coward that “does lunch” in that dung heap of a “town”. The whole lot has decided good is bad, bad is good, ugly is beautiful, beautiful is ugly.
Then they think they are so clever. Yeah, right.
All those movies offer nothing. The only movie I watched this year in a theatre was Charlie Wilson’s War.
I quit watching them over 30 years ago. Do I get a prize?
Weren’t the winners a couple of kids from Ireland (or Scotland?) with lots of angst?
Where were the Jolie-Pitts? and Jennifer Anniston?
Ratatouie was a gross concept. A cooking rat? The dead father’s concept was “everyone can cook” but the human hero STILL could not cook at the end of the story.
Good animation, pathetic writing.
By catering to the left OUTSIDE the USA, Hollyweird has empowered those that will shut them down.
WOW if we use hollyweird math how many hits does that make for FR?!
Actually, I have no clue. I wanted one of the new songs from Hairspray to be nominated. They weren’t.
So Enchanted was up next. (eventhough they skipped “True Love’s Kiss”) I figured, for sure, “That’s How You Know” would be it.
As usual, I was disappointed.
>>Good animation, pathetic writing.<<
Amen to that. The end credits were better than the movie. I know, pitifully I own it. Bought it on the Pixar name alone. BAH.
I was doubly surprised to read a review of Stewart’s performance as topping the one he hosted previously. I found it silly and actually wished Ellen had come back.
C’mon. Next thing you’ll tell me is that there weren’t 1 million at the Million Man March.
I heard some of his jokes on Laura Ingraham this morning.
What trash.
But then the 80th would have been the "least-watched ever," which would make it 14% lower than itself??
That was made to be a tag line.
Best post of the night, last night, was when someone posted that the “Hair Stylists must be on strike” (or something like that.)
Sure’nuff - watching some of the red-carpet re-runs this morning, there wasn’t one actress with well styled hair. What’s the deal? Is dirty, oily, unkempt hair now the style?
Today, the best movies are the foreign ones, I thought last year’s best Foreign Language movie, “The Lives of Others” was the best movie, period.
I’m intrigued by this year’s winner, “The Counterfeiters”
Haven’t watched them in years...the Oscars have become nothing more than a giant circle jerk for the unpatriotic leftists who control Hollywood.
They ought to be moved to the Bravo channel, although the networks, too, have become like dinosaurs.
I was channel surfing and happened to hit the broadcast just as they were starting to show brief cuts from all 79 previous best piture winners. If the film industry wants to know why they are held in such contempt by so many and why their big broadcast draws so few viewers they have only to rerun that segment. It is a lesson in devolution.
Hollywood’s real problem is its inability to come up with an original story line that resonates with the American people. Most of the successful films over the last few years have been remakes of earlier films (3:10 to Yuma, Stepford Wives, the Pink Panther), adaptations from successful books (Lord of the Rings), resurrections of past franchises (Star Wars prequels and Superman), or take-offs from old television shows and comic books (Dukes of Hazzard and the Fabulous Four). Master and Commander was a recreation of Horatio Hornblower; American Pie contained a whole lot of Porky’s; and Meet The Parents was just another of the “boy meets girlfriend’s family” storylines.
