Hi there. Am delurking to agree about the Roman Polanski situation. The girl was 13, from the articles I've read.
As an aside, it's so silly how the attendees just clap mindlessly, and stand up when everyone else does, etc. I love the awards but jeepers, it's like watching a group of people operated by a collective (lack of?) brain ;o) Michael Moore deserves an award for bravery. I was surprised he won, just because it was kinda obvious he'd say something controversial. Well deserved, though. Bowling For Colombine was very thought-provoking.
I personally want to see The Pianist, but agree that 'tasteless' is the word for the Polanski thing. The fact that he got a standing ovation in his absence is just wrong. Hello, he *fleed* the country. After having illegal sex with a *13* year old. Yeah, what a prince. Everyone on their feet!
I'm in lust with Queen Latifah also. Pregnant Catherine ZJ was just incredibly sexy. And talk about emphasising your good points! Holy heck was that cleavage! I may be imagining things but it seemed to me there were a lot more 'normal-sized' women at the awards. Not heaps or anything, but more. It was really niced, and they looked much better than some of the thinner ones (where did Nicole Kidman go?!?).
Anyway, enough from me. The awards just ended here, and the news brings back the rather harsh reality of life outside LA.
