Robin Williams is an idiot. He knows you can't say anything you want on network TV.

The airways are public property, given to the Networks as a public trust, and are subject to regulation.

Williams, no doubt, wanted to bash Christians and George Bush in the harshest terms - while using every 4-letter word in the book.

But the big, bad, "censor" wouldn't let him. Poor Baby.

What was Penn's supposed rebuttal of great actors about if you or anyone knows. I just a bit on the news. I didn't watch any of that show. Gee, I have gotten to the point don't even care to go to movies much anymore either

What was Penn's supposed rebuttal

I left the room around that time and didn't see it myself

Sorry :0(

Oscar who? Is the "Odd Couple" re-running?

[onyx]

I don;t know where to suggest you look for the transcript;
provided one exists...lol. His performance was BAD.

[onyx]

LOL!
Thanks you for the good morning laugh.

[stumpy]

This "host", was totally uncouth, and a blatant racist. It shows that you can take the man out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the man.

He epitomizes what Bill Crosby is talking about.

I want to see Larry the Cable Guy host it next year...

THAT would be funny right there now...

[Mr. Blonde]

He agrees with Bill Cosby on most of what Cosby says. The Oscars on network tv is not a good venue for Rock to present his comedy.

[beyond the sea]

Thank YOU!!!!

[beyond the sea]

His performance was BAD. ------- not like the album?

;-)

[Deb]

Larry the Cable Guy is too classy.

[PISANO]

I stopped watching the OSCARS after Johnny left. I especially enjoyed it then and when Bob Hope was the host.

Since Johnny there have been nothing but NOTHINGS and that includes Crystal, Williams, Rock and the talentless single welfare mom.

[onyx]

Prior to last night,
I'd never heard of him.
Now that I have,
I'll ignore him....lol.

I watched "Friday Night Lights" on DirectTV but taped the first part of the Oscars just to see how Rock would be received. As soon as he started talking about how much he "learned" from that "great movie", Faranheit 9-11, I knew he was trying to suck back up to the Hollywood crowd. This seems to be his mo, make up for offending one group by offending another.
