I have seen much of it so far, and there are an awful lot of heretics there who are not wearing the "peace lapel pin" or whatever they are calling it. Gere had it on; Ed harris too. But Travolta did not, nor a bunch of other men.

I'm taping it so I can see the tribute to Peter O'Toole - a favorite of mine. But I plan to fast-forward through the rest of it.

Like so many other overhyped awards, the people giving out the Oscar awards are self-appointed and self-anointed. The real awards for Best Picture, Actor, etc. are called 'The Georgies,' and are in the form of paychecks . . .

Who gives a shit about these self-absorbed, hollyweird imbeciles? I think we have other things to worry about. I'll pass on these idiots stroking each other, and, of course, themselves.

So? Tell me more!!! I want to know the following:

1-Lord of the Rings, did it win anything else?

2-Did anyone give a political speech?

3-What were they wearing!

That was a highly sanitized ABC NEWS war update. No mention of apparent torture and murder of the American POW's and no mention of the chemical weapons factory being discovered and overtaken. ABC NEWS knows that Hollywood can't be troubled with manifest evidence of the justness of the war.

Steve Martin was on target in his opening monologue!

(Paraphrasing)

1. We got rid of the red carpet for tonight - THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!!!

2. It's important that an actress be tall... pink... thin... skinny... a Democrat... AND skinny.

No political acceptance speeches yet, though.

Continuing to monitor the enemy....

So why watch?

AND THE WINNER IS: MOORE!

This is disgusting ---Oh my God. Hollywood is dead as a doornail...

I know you're getting some heat, but thanx for doing the thread.

BONO SUCKS!!!

I am very happy with the booing at Michael Moore. I was afraid it was going to be drowned out by cheers, but it came through loud and clear.

The ironic part was Moore inviting the other documentary filmmakers on stage (apparently, he was pretty maddog confident he was going to get it and let them ride his coattails) and saying on their behalf, "We like non-fiction..." John Fund's column in the Wall Street Journal Friday exposed how in Bowling For Columbine, Moore skillfully manufactured cinematic illusions and passed them off as fact, such as walking into a bank and getting a free gun the same day (his producers had arranged for him to receive the gun after he had undergone the required background check), his doctoring of the 1992 Willie Horton campaign ads, his deception about Charlton Heston's public appearances after mass shootings, and worst of all, his editing and reconstruction of Heston's speeches at those appearances to transform the content and context of what Heston said, in an apparently successful attempt to make Heston into a straw man easily tumbling by Moore's rhetorical windbreaking.

I would encourage all people who are truly fans of "non-fiction" to make Moore eat his words.

[MinuteGal]

Well, I guess I'm the only one here who believes this was all a pre-planned set-up tonight.

The show's producers knew Moore would say something evil. That's why they hired him in the first place.

The audience knew he would say something evil. They waited. He delivered on cue.

The lines he delivered gave the leftist audience something to boo and shake its hypocritical collective heads about.

Talk about a perfect scenario to try to repair Hollyweird's image.

This is the land of high drama, right?

I can still hear the script rustling.

Whoa...I honestly can't believe it. Eminem won.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great song, but I didn't think given the choice, they would have taken Mr. Politically Incorrect over U2 and Paul Simon.

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Nevermind politics, all I have to say is that Steve Martin is to comedy what Eric Clapton is to music. He's a frickin' genious!

[Martus]

I thought I'd join the fray. I'm not gonna say much about the BIG FAT SLOB Michael Moore other than I'M GLAD HE GOT BOOED. I think Adrien Brody was classy. He is obviously anti-war, but didn't flaunt it. I said he wanted a "swift and peaceful solution," which is something I want too! I don't mind anyone who is against the war as long as they are honest about it. Ok....I'll say it again MICHAEL MOORE IS A BIG FAT IRRELEVANT SLOB
