i watched the oscar's last night as well b/c it's the one big tv event i honestly look forward to every year. and i was really, really impressed with how everyone was so tactful showing how they felt about the issue...whether it was one way or another. everyone knows how susan sarandon feels about war, and i was a little nervous she might pull a michael moore or worse (simply b/c i know our soldiers overseas will watch it, and we need to show support, not anger)...but she came out, slyly smiled, and held up a peace sign. i thought that was great. i personally think we are doing the right thing right now, and i 100% support our troops and hope and pray they come home safely ASAP (!!!).....sometimes i think artists take their fame and use their freedom of speech unfairly. it's fine to voice your opinion, but i don't think it's necessary to go beyond what the average american can do about it. i can't get on such a public soapbox and voice how i feel.....but b/c someone makes a movie, they can.....and seeing as though they have that priviledge, i don't think it should be abused. and mr. michael moore, in my opinion, definitely abused his right of free speech.
over-all, however, i think everyone was respectful and kept in mind that our american soldiers would be watching...and how about adrien brody stickin it to halle berry????
priceless!
