The Oscars - Oh my!
I found Danny Miller's Blog 'Jew Eat Yet' on a French expat's site! Strange, but true. A nice surprise. He has some interesting posts, and has published in Salon - a super e-zine (along with Slate) that I have tried/still try to get my work in to. His comments about the Oscars are worth a look, and I agreed with most of his assessments! I thought the same about the 'green' stuff. We were laughing about how all the stars would be pulling away in their limos and Hummers. Green? Ha! It's a bit of hypocrisy I'd say. (See Miller's summary below.) Also, since this guy commented on women, I shall comment on men. Al Gore has lost his looks. His face looked botoxed and his eyes pulled back from some eye fix, and he has been eating way too much. Jack Nicholson--please do not let him star in any more 'old man with hot, young chick' movies (He being the 'old man'.) If that continues, then let Diane Keaton get the young guy in her next film -- not get stuck with Jack! I agree with the Blogger, she deserves better roles.

10. George W. Bush did not win an Oscar. (from Jew Eat Yet)
It’s almost too painful to see Al Gore on stage and speculate about what our world would be like had he been allowed to assume the Presidency that was rightfully his. Ironic that someone who was constantly criticized for being too “wooden” during the 2000 race has become so skilled and at-ease in public that he seemed far more comfortable than Leo DiCaprio during their bit. Gore’s message is a critically important one, of course, and he deserved the accolades he received last night every bit as much as he deserved the key to the front door of the White House. But maybe it’s all part of some Divine Plan and he’ll take up the mantle of the would-be President who has the most important and wide-reaching post-political impact (especially now that so many people have turned on Jimmy Carter). It’s easy to make fun of the so-called Hollywood green crowd, especially those that then pull their gas-guzzling Hummers out of the Hollywood & Highland parking lot, but the awareness that Al Gore has brought to environmental issues can’t be underestimated even if watching “An Inconvenient Truth” did make me want to hurl myself into an active volcano.
