What the HELL?!?!?!

Ok, This was so outrageous, I had to blog on it immediately.

Oscar night comment (on Hurricane Katrina): "An event that brought home both the threat AND the impact of global warming"

WHAT? global warming caused Hurricane Katrina? So, let me get this straight: there were no Hurricanes (or at least no Cat5's) prior to global warming?

It's bad enough that Hollywood has spent the last 7 years gnawing on Al Gore's rectum. I mean, the Oscar win for "An Inconvenient Truth" was the biggest NONsurprise of the night. But to sit there and equate two events that are most likely completely and totally unrelated (just so you know, LONG before global warming became an issue, scientists were warning of the consequences of a Cat5 hurricane directly hitting New Orleans).

Whatever that announcer's on, I want some of that!

Me too if it will help my allergies!

Let's face it though, I like hollywood, movies and all, but there are just some folks who are just too 'far up the rectum' of their causes! I guess the poor scientists are not famous enough. Kind of like those people who like to take the credits for other people's work...

The thing about most hollywood types is that they don't know a damn thing about what they're talking about. They just play with their money and pretend to care about things...well, I wish I had to the to occupy myself with causes and faulty logic...unfortunately I live in the real world.

Hollywood fawning all over An Inconvient (un-)Truth was the most predictable event of the evening. I could see that coming from thousands of miles away.

As to the rest of the show, bleh. Still far too many little cutesy jokes and bits by the host that eat up time that could be used by the people that *won* the awards. Still too much time wasted for full musical montages that don't really need to be shown in their entireity and lots of other fluff that makes the night take far longer than it needs to while giving the winners such little time to actually say anything. Craptastic.
