I don't care if he fucked Britney Spears-- Collin Farrel is freakin' hot.

And his accent. I knew he had one but I didn't realize just how well he'd been faking Americana in those movies until now. Sex-y.

All the cameras seemed permanently focused on Salma Hayek's breasts.

I'm surprised Chicago won over The Hours and The Pianist. Especially since LOTR was a better movie than Chicago, for all I enjoyed the latter.

I think it was a poor mark on the Acedemy to give Roman Polanski a personal award, or even to nominate him. The possibility of giving a collaberative work like a feature film the Best Picure award is one thing (and it seems like everyone agrees The Pianist was an amazing movie), but to give the man personally award is a mistake. And I wish he had shown up personally, so he could have gotten arrested.

I'm sad I missed Adrian Brody's acceptance speech. It sounds from everyone else like it was adorable.

I :heart: Michael Moore. Even though he was boo-ed off-stage by the same audience that clapped for his winning, and even though he took the opportunity to shamelessly spout his politics-- can you blame him?What better opportunity for attention-- I still think his movies kick ass and he deserved it.

Hmm, interesting

Me again ;o) Just saw this in an article re. Polanski:

Polanski's lawyers have begun negotiating with Los Angeles prosecutors to allow the now-64-year-old director back into the States without serving jail time.

Geimer [the girl he statutorily raped], who lives with her family in Hawaii, says it's fine with her. "I really wish this would be over, that he would reach agreement with the courts, no longer be a fugitive."

She also tells Inside Edition that she wouldn't call the episode rape, but the sex was not consensual. "I perceived it as he made me have sex with him," she says. "The word 'rape' always brings to mind for me a level of...violence that wasn't there."

Also, he apparently started a relationship with then 15yr old Natassja Kinski as soon as he feld the country.

Although it's still incredibly tasteless, I am at least relieved that the victim didn't sit, upset in her living room, watching as Polanski was given a standing ovation.

Really going now,
Helen

Yes, at least there's that. They still shouldn't let him back in, though.

Thanks for the article quote.
