I was just talking about that with a friend. Yeah, his work is great, but a polite clap would have been just fine. Polanski certainly did not deserve a standing ovation. There are many other brilliant people that deserve that who didn't initiate such inappropriate behavior. Just goes to show you the bizarre morals of the Hollywood set.:sympathy:

I was busy performing at Oscar Night America and missed the whole thing. I did shut up and pay attention when Kermit and Piggy came on, though! I sneered when Mickey came up and I heard his voice talking. Who was the "real live" woman on stage with him who didn't get to say anything?

I meant Daredevil. It's late in the day and I'm pooped out.

At least most of 'em were tactful about it.

Page 4 of a thread about the Oscars and no one has mentioned the clothes yet? :eek:

I was impressed with Catherine Zeta Jones. She's not one of my favorite actors, but anyone who gets on stage, under all those lights, in heels, and belts out a song nine months pregnant gets my respect!

I also liked it when Kirk Douglas told Michael to ennunciate clearly-- ya gotta like people who can laugh at themselves and upstage their kids at the same time.
