‘’Ninety percent of Spanish people are against the war, but that doesn’t mean there is any anti-American sentiment,'’ he said, adding that he was dedicating his award to those people who were choosing to speak out against the conflict. Maybe he could just share his trophy with Michael Moore.

A little bit snide there at the end perhaps?

To further the debate, I loved the toned-down Hollywood hommage to the war — namely vats and vats of beige lipstick and a truckload of ostrich-feather-optional oatmeal colored dresses.
This was how they accomplished “fabulous sans festive.”

And maybe this is not for this forum, but anyone else notice how Meryl Streep was wearing the necklace that went with Julianne’s earings?

Yeah, this isn’t the place. I’ll go away.

Hey–don’t pick on Salma! She can’t help looking like that.

let’s see if i’ve got this straight. . .the “industry” applauds roman polanski, a man, to put it gently, of questionable morals, and boos mike moore, for advocating peace . . .yup, hollywood’s made its priorities very clear.

Of course, beige was all the rage at LAST year’s Academy Awards too, along with lank, ironed-on hair and black eyeliner. Is it the grimness of the times? Or just a side effect of the Atkins Diet?

We need to sic Michael Moore on Rush Limbaugh directly.

Thanks for fixing the pic. But now I can’t stop staring. I’ll never get any work done today

I like Michael Moore, more, now that I found out about this incident. (Thanks for the info, Adam.)

It may have seemed like grandstanding to some (even to you, Adam), but in my humble opinion, not enough could possibly have been said, loud enough, to have been in bad taste, compared to the monstrousness of the attack on Iraq.

If only there were more like Moore.

(Those Hollywoodies make me gag.)
