great, what a frickin honor. maybe they should get asterisks, too? bringing up the race breakdowns at this point in life is purdy sad. the only one who really cares is halle, who wins awards on behalf of all other black people. ... at least half of her does.



Rob, this is neither the time nor the place for serious discussion. I'm dissapointed in you.

I agree that it's sad that it's always brought up...but I also think it's sad that so few black actors/actresses have won Oscars.

I got these awards right:

Swank
Fox
Freeman (I felt confident that Alda's moment was getting the nom)
Blanchett (she was great as Kate Hepburn)
THE INCREDIBLES for Best Animated



Those were my picks as well.

I like Cate Blanchett a lot, and she did a superb job with what she was given, but the Hepburn character in The Aviator was a complete and utter joke. It was as if instead of actually trying to portray the person the writer simply put in Hepburn's character from Philadelphia Story(or Bringing Up Baby, or any of her other well-to-do, socialite characters).

By pretty much all accounts(friends, family, biographers), Hepburn hated the press, and was very uncomfortable with the attention they paid her. She was a tomboy, thanks to having only male siblings, and she thought the sugarcoated, glamour image Hollywood projected was bullshit(which it is).

She was not the jealous, attention-starved flirt The Aviator portrayed her as(and I sincerely her leaving Hughes had anything to do with his becoming more famous than her, which is pretty much what the movie implied). She was also not the type to act differently around different people(as implied in the scene where Howard meets her family). She was quite famous for being straightforward, and brutally honest.

Was Hoffman stoned during the Pic awarding at the end?



I was sure he was drunk when he was presenting with Barbra Streisand(who called him "Bernie", his character from Meet the Fockers, for some reason).

There was a rumor saying that him and Barbara Steisand were constantly bickering on the set of Meet The Folkers, I think what happened last night had something to do with that.



Certainly wouldn't be the first time Streisand was accused of bickering with co-stars.

I remember a few years ago that her neighbors in L.A(or where-ever her main house in California is) tried to have her evicted from the community. I don't remember why. Probably because she's annoying bitch.

MisterJLA is RACKing awesome.
