If Jennifer Hudson were white, would there really be the endless, aimless praise showered upon her? Are the photons not being reflected properly off of her skin for all the photo receptor cells to register an image of what she really is? A FATASS??? I don’t care what she wears. She looks like an overstuffed sausage.
I guess Forrest Whitaker was pretty good as the illiterate, cannibalistic Ugandan dictator. But I will always maintain that his best role was chasing around Jean Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport.
So good old Marty Scorsese finally won. Gee. I would never have guessed that his turn was up when Spielberg, Lucas and Copola came out to present. Those bastards know exactly what is in the envelopes. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.
Pan’s Labyrinth was a major upset-maker and it probably deserves the awards it received considering it did scare the poop out of me. But…I go to movies when I don’t want to read anything and I got a B in my AP Spanish.
Melissa Etheridge won for her score of Inconvenient Truth. Whatever. This was the year of the Lesbian. But what’s with the garbage of this movie? I’ve been reading doomsday prophecies since The Population Bomb predicted we’d all be living in a 2000 story skyscraper covering every square inch of the Earth. Sell panic somewhere else. I’m disputing the charge.
How is it possible that a movie set in a plane can be nominated for best achievement in directing? Even I could order a bunch of no-name wannabe actors around. I mean come on, they’re probably still used to taking orders from the dining room manager.
So that’s it. I came back to the show because I thought we had a great movie year. Clearly, I had not considered how far down the politically correct abyss we had fallen.
