I am soooo disgusted. Russell Crowe was robbed all in the name of diversity. This is BS.

So what would you be saying if one of the nominees besides Will Smith had won? Would that be "diversity" too? News flash- some Blacks can act and some are willing to give out awards for that.

I'm just waiting to see if Party Pooper actually gets thread #1999.

Don't forget the backgrounds of some of these people on FR.

i don't think he's saying that... all he is saying is the Russell was robbed in the name of diversity... so, you beg the question... if it didn't go to Denzel or Smith, then it would have gone to Russell who should have won it in the first place... except for the diversity issue... i'm not saying i agree--i just think this is what he was saying... (but i do think Russell should have won--however, i don't think Denzel won because of diversity... i think he won because "he was due" is the eyes of many...)

I am very glad for both Halle and Denzel tonight! I am also glad that good things - really major, remarkable things - have happened for people of color under the Bush administration.

The Democrats win elections by stirring up the "us v. them" mentality anywhere they can. And this year, with the historical appointments of Colin Powell and Condi Rice - and now, both top awards in the Oscar going this way ... it might help people realize that this administration will try to tear down every such wall.
