I second that CBK, though I did like it when Maureen Stapleton said, quite succinctly, that she thanks everyone she ever knew in her life—she did not take our time to list them.

See how Leo is saying Kate is “overdue” for her Oscar? Well, to the Hollywood, she probably is…though she has not “done the frump” that guarantees an Oscar (see Cher, Charlize, Sally…) Would her win be the blueprint for the next Oscar bait role, the repressed, angry suburban female pedophile?

Morgan Freeman’s acceptance speech at the Oscars – that’s the way to accept an award.

They pay huge fees to publicists to keep them in the news, they whine about not winning, the studios promote them – yet they do win they are breathless with surprise. Nothing is more horrifying than an actor without a script.

Winslet was absolutely wonderful in Eternal Sunshine.

Well said!!! They should have stripped her of that award right then and there for a horrible “live” performance. Self righteous dingbats!

So tell me TX Biscuit, how would you feel if all of your peers told YOU that “they didn’t like hearing you spout off your political views”? You’d be pretty insulted, no? But I guess that the free speech rights that you personally wouldn’t give up don’t apply to a subset of public figures that YOU happen to disagree with.

Listentomouse, just what movies do you actually watch?

Pete-All I’m saying is I’d prefer actors stick to what they know how to do, act. Of course they have a constitutional right to speak their minds and I’m not suggesting their rights need to be “suspended”. Frankly, I don’t really like hearing any actor, conservative or liberal, spout off their political views. I just want to be entertained by them. I’d prefer to go elsewhere for political views. I didn’t demand anyone be silent. I just like it when they are, that’s a big difference…just sayin!

Pete, none of those movies you listed looked interesting to me. Plus, nobody makes Westerns anymore. C’mon.
My GF, however, has seen all of those flicks.

I won’t even watch these mindless award shows anymore. There’s to much blah, blah, blah..speeches..However, I’ve heard her acceptance speech was longer than everyone elses speeches combined. DANG…sorry I missed that!!! I do wish the woman would learn to keep her clothes on once in awhile though. Her children will be thrilled when they grow up to see mummy naked with all these men who aren’t their daddy!!!

Winslet whined in a bunch of recent interviews about not winning an Oscar, so I’m not surprised she won the GG. I enjoy her performances, but it sure looked like she was “acting” when she accepted her award.

I wonder how self-important she’ll come across if she does win her first Oscar.
