The 75th Academy Awards #7

1. Salma Hayek's top isn't quite as opaque as I would like it to be. I was straining to see so hard I missed what award she gave out.

2. Chicago wins Best Sound. AND. ALL. THAT. JAZZ. YOU. BASTARDS.

3. I think those earrings are about to pull off Julianne Moore's earlobes.

4. LOTR: TTT wins Best Sound Editing. Perhaps they can put that expertise to work and edit another song for the next time Chicago wins an award.

5. Some dude from Frida just made the first direct reference to the war tonight, saying "If Frida were alive today she'd be on our side, against war." I think if Frida were alive today she might actually want to make her own decisions - but what do I know, I'm not 'on your side'. I'm on the Iraqi people's side.

Here's just a sample of how much they hate us being over there, dude from Frida:

A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera "told me they would commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."

I have plenty more.
