While watching it on TV, I thought she soiled her dress in shock when they called her name...

[nhoward14]

Most of those same observations were made on the live Oscar-watching thread last night. Way to go, Rush!

[Ron in Acreage]

How did Halle and Denzel get their roles if Hollyweird is so racist? Did Jesse pull a "Shakedown" on the Hollyweird elite liberals? Looks like a duck.....

And the funny part about it is that she looks like a white woman with a light tan. Maybe somebody should ask her how prejudiced against black men her mother was?

[TheLion]

The only racism I noted last night were comments made by blacks. When are these people going to grow up and become just people like the rest of us? Sidney Poitier had a line in Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, when talking to his dad he said, "Dad, you think of yourself as a black man and I think of myself as a man". (something close to that). How ironic that it didn't even sink in.

[Great Dane]

Turns out she is just another nutbar.

[astudent]

Wouldn't it be nice if the first Black Woman to win an Oscar had maturity, dignity, self-control and modesty ---- like a true pro. She reminded me of a woman who knew she had received something she didn't deserve. Perhaps her award was Hollywood's way of offering affirmative action.

[Fred Mertz]

Is that Henry "Nostrilitus" Waxman as the Oscar? I don't get it.

[harpo11]

After many years of not viewing the predictable Oscar Award Night narcissism I wished that I had passed this one up as well. Unfortunately, I was enormously intrigued over the communal Hollywood quilt that prevaded what appeared to be a rather large group therapy session with all sorts of megalomaniacs parading about in one room dressed in the finest jewels and gowns that could hardly keep certain body parts from tipping out.

I had looked forward with eagerness to confirm my initial perceptions and I was not disappointed in the least. This was very interesting to see 74 years of guilt aired out like laundry blowing in the Santa Ana winds.

And the best female actress really delivered the final triumphant salvo as the crowd found their release and gleefully cried and cheered and felt so deeply and were once again made whole.

P.S. I don't understand why the leading actor for the best motion picture, the best screenscript, the best supporting actess, and the best director didn't receive the best actor award. Seems awfully strange, but I guess that's Hollywood.

[TheLion]

Blacks will never be "free at last" as long as they sit at the table with the liberal democrats. They have taken a wealth of opportunity and re-enslaved themselves on the Democrat plantation.

[uncbob]

Best thing that could have happened
Guilt ridden Holywood gives her an Oscar for the sake of PC . They expected to be able to fawn all over themselves for being so caring
And they get DUMPED ON.
Serves their PC asses right

[nepdap]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I'm doing my Halle Berry impersonation, folks.

While we're addressing things that aren't politically correct, may I raise my very tired voice to say how much it really hurts me to hear folks scream God's name when they clearly don't mean it with respect. I really don't care what color your skin is. But please show some dignity when talking to and about the One who made you.

[Revolting cat!]

White millionaires by the thousands applauding a millionaire black actress who is condemning them.

You're kidding me! (I didn't watch.) Bizarre! I only caught about three minutes last night and saw a shot of Sir Paul McCartney looking, I dunno, befuddled? Now, that explains Sir Paul's expression. There was not a hint of Ms Berry's performance in my PC morning rag, of course. (Another example of "racism", to be sure!) I must be living in a parallel universe.

The sad thing is, they're both good enough actors,but they were clearly nominated by the Academy so they could both win, and make last night's ceremony an orgy of political correctness. Sidney Poitier hit the right notes--all the notes hit by Berry and Washington were discordant and really quite irrelevant--as if they were dutifully playing into the game the "White Hollywood Establishment" had laid out as for the evening. "Two birds in one night" Washington said, mixing metaphors, and for a second it almost seemed like he was in on the joke.
