How did they know who would win??

Since they knew there were only 4 nominees for short documentary, they knew the chances were 50-50 it would be the same-sex film that won or Sari's Mother, a film about an Iraqi kid suffering from AIDS who can't get treatment because the American soldiers destroyed the healthcare system.

Or as the Oscar's website summarizes it: "On a farm in central Iraq, a mother struggles to care for her ten-year-old son, Sari, who is dying of AIDS. As the boy's condition worsens, his mother must deal with a health care system that has fallen into chaos under the American occupation."

The pigs of Hollywood know exactly what they are doing: Don't be a sap.

I thought that the Iraqi healthcare system was suffering while Saddam was in power because of the sanctions.

Of course, Saddam still had billions to spend on new palaces and mosques.

So how did it go from rotten to worse and it is the fault of Boosh?

The Libs need a new talking point. Jan 21st, this is all their fault.

Our military during WWII would never have been treated in such a manner as they were tonight by the Academy or the Hollywood crowd.

The sound many of us heard tonight was Bob Hope rolling over in his grave.

Tom Hanks and Hollywood simply do not comprehend the phrase “Freedom is not Free”.

Have to agree Hollywood knew exactly what they were doing with their scheduling and format of the program.
