I have been waiting for someone to make a political speech myself but nothing. Also noticed the gowns tonight have been very tasteful -- much more so than usual.
My youngest daughter and I were in Hollywood at the Kodak Theater in December and I was determined to watch the Oscars this year. It is in the center of a huge Mall BTW with this beautiful long staircase going up from the street level to the Kodak Theater.
noticed the gowns tonight have been very tasteful I guess that is how I would describe what I thought when I saw Jennifer Lopez: her dress was, well, completely covering her. Wasn't it at the Academy Awards where she famously and notoriously wore the gown that was, well, very revealing?
Re the lapel pins---is there like a schism, with the failure to wear a "peace lapel pin" a sort of scarlett-letter-in-its-absence, it's presence or absence forming a dividing line?
