Also during the show, Jack Nicholson got stares when he stayed seated during the standing ovation for Al Gore and "An Inconvenient Truth."

[NewJerseyJoe]

This is all I found on this. Nice to know that one person in Hollyweird had the guts not to cave in to the Warmists. Or maybe he was just tired by that point. Or maybe he wasn't terribly interested. In any case, this was nice to read.

[Argus]

I think Nicholson gets the joke.

[TexasCajun]

From what I've learned about Jack, he probably couldn't stand.

[Fawn]

I heard he has cancer?

[Jake The Goose]

One of Hollywoods last remaining "men".

[pcottraux]

No, he's playing a character in an upcoming movie who has cancer.

[GQuagmire]

Shaved head for role as a cancer patient

I am no fan of Jack Nicholson, but his judgement seemed spot on in this case.

"An Inconvenient Truth??? You can't handle the truth!"

[NorCalRepub]

I don't think Jack stands for anything or anyone....pure speculation....Jack seems to march to his own drummer...and probably could care less one way or the other.... though I'll bet he thinks Lesbo's like Ethridge pounding out their opinions are probably full of hot air.....

[lilylangtree]

I'm thinking the same as you. The whole buzzword "global warming" is a joke.

[Fawn]

Oh.....that's good....

[Red6]

I agree.

I can't stand girly homo liberals that want to play tough guy roles. Can you really watch a movie with Baldwin in it and not get a laugh attack when he speaks in a deep voice and plays the tough guy?

Nicholson's political donations:

$24,250 Democrat
$250 Independent
total: $24,500

[HEY4QDEMS]

He is currently working on a role as a cancer patient in a movie called The Bucket List which is why he has the shaved head.

[Jake The Goose]

Exactly.

[Argus]

I'm expecting that in a couple of years, "global warming" will be the answer to the trivia question, "What Hollywood fad came between kabbala and Malibu dogsled racing?"

[HOTTIEBOY]

I think this is like with Clint Eastwood a few weeks back.

Jack is so set in his carreer, he has no need to spout liberal talking points to get a camera in his face. He doesn't need the publicity.

[Enterprise]

Maybe Jack didn't think much of the batty man.

[Dixie Yooper]

I expect that Jack was so high, that he thought he was standing.

[lowbridge]

It could be that being from the old school of Hollywood, Jack believes in artistic integrity, and not giving an Oscar to documentary for a political reason. He MIGHT agree with the message of the documentary, but he might not agree with the reason(s) for awarding it an Oscar.

[llevrok]

My sense is that Jack doesn't suffer fools.

To really know, we'd have to ask him though.

[onedoug]

...zzzzzzzz....

[xp38]

As Melvin Udal in As Good As It Gets.... Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

" An Inconvenient Truth??? You can't handle the truth! "

[Millee]

I don't think Jack stands for anything or anyone....pure speculation.

I agree with you, but I think it's because he has too much of an ego to stand for anyone else.

[Paco]

Wow...lots of possible reasons posted here on why Jack didn't stand. I think Occam's Razor is in effect. Maybe he just had gas and couldn't stand at that moment.

[Publius6961]

BUMP!

[Thunder90]

Al gore is chasing after this:

[teenyelliott]

Well, just because he is a democrat doesn't mean he buys the global warming thing.

Or perhaps he just really hates Algore.

[MassRepublicanFlyersFan]

Maybe he regrets his donations to Al Gore in years past. Let's hope so.

[JRios1968]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeere's Algore?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I am no fan of Jack Nicholson

Are you kidding. Nicholson is the one of the few actors I respect out of Hollywood. He was excellent in "The Departed."

[truthandlife]

Jerry Seinfeld reacts to Al Gore at the Oscars. I saw it. It was pretty funny.

[Duke Nukum]

I can't find a picture, maybe he just fell asleep.

Was he wearing his sunglasses?

[Churchillspirit]

Nicholson is one of the few actors I respect out of Hollywood.

Good for you!

He gives me the creeps.
