[I posted this first in the wrong place.]Oh the delicious political incorrectness of that sentence -- and it was uttered in the oh-so-liberal Salon.com. Here are the offending paragraphs (by a woman, Cintra Wilson, so again, no complaining):
"OK, that was entertaining," I thought, after seeing many of the nominated films. There were some good, solid movies, but nothing that I saw made me change my wicked ways. There were some fine, solid performances, but exactly how much are we supposed to adore good actors? Last night, these capable but already tremendously overcelebrated, over-rewarded people had their annual Imelda Marcos shoe-orgy of gratuitous overcelebration, gilding the gilded lily made of gold, again. We watched as people already morbidly overstuffed with congratulations vomited up all previous congratulations to make room for these, the best and biggest congratulations of all.
It is the gargantuan, ass-licking brainwash of the year, and We, the People With Televisions, are supposed to watch and enjoy it.
The Academy sensed this attitude was lurking like a murky cloud of spiritual unease over Middle Earth, and it is my (admittedly hostile) perception that they said to themselves, "Well, the Oscars are already fucked this year, so let's honor our Negroes! It's been a while. Call Whoopi."
Follow Ups:
This year's Oscar Embarassment just goes to confirm, yet again, that as much as some people think these Jerks are NOT political in how they conduct their business, THEY ARE ! Look at how Rosie ODonnell told ORielley that these...ahem...patriotic Amuricans, their patriotism ENDS at their wallet!
I think it's great that they awarded the Oscars to the best performances. As creative as Russel Crowe was, Denzel's performance was even more outstanding.It wasn't about rewarding blacks, it was about rewarding the best performances -- something they don't always do. For Example, with Randy Newman -- I felt is song was clearly the weakest of the bunch. He had been nominated 16 times and I'm glad he finally won. Nevertheless, this looked like a case of the politically correct guy winning. I would have voted for Sting and I'm not even a fan.
For someone who complains as much as you do, why watch? I certainly didn't.
Thanks, you're being an unusually pleasant guy today. But who says I watched?clark
