I completely disagree. His speech was not clever or witty, but it was heartfelt. He was truly overwhelmed. A lot of actors of his caliber would be blasé, but he was honored and absolutely speechless.

Pffft. That's the third major award he's won on his Sherman's March to the Oscars. He should stop being surprised by now.

Mind, I'm a huge Forest fan and have been since Color of Money.

I just dislike the American penchant for blubbery quiplessness. They're obliged to Be Real by not having a prepared speech, but now it's just another cliche. Besides after having seen Halle Berry have a freakin' heart attack when she won her Oscar, nobody else is going to compare.

Oh, ha. You know what's surreal? Having your supervisor's daughter bring you a picture she colored for you while you're in the middle of reading about the dude who goatse'd MySpace.

shrift, what does "goatse'd" mean? I'm afraid to read the article.

Has anyone else gotten the forwarded email about how Barack Obama is a muslim and he shouldn't be in the white house because of it?

Grrr.

Ugh, Kat.

Not to mention, he isn't. He's a Congregationalist, and speaking as one, he maybe shouldn't be in any elected office because of that, because politics can never satisfy the urge for bureaucracy, the way the UCC can.

Vanessa Williams for most glamourous.

With her Hair of Giganticness?

Also, was Reese Witherspoon sitting at a table with Jack Nicholson? Sort of like a table for single, high profile people who didn't have movies up for awards?

Er, The Departed ?

All of msbelle's Yahoo links show me Martin Scorsese, so I don't know what's going on!

Please don't ask this question, or ita will provide links.

Unless you want to look up a man's anus. In which case, ask that question.

Maybe they got confused between what her character wears on Ugly Betty and what she was dolled up in for the red carpet?

I will not look at links. I wanted a vague, texty answer from a Buffista.

I have never linked to a photo of goatse Hec, so be nice. I've linked to the picture-free Wikipedia page or the goatse tribute page, but what y'all do after you get to those pages is up to you.

Yah, see, I won't give that, not even in whitefont.

Oh, um, ha. Well. I'm actually loathe to tell you what it means if you don't already know, because it would be so very nice not to know, but you just can't un-know goatse.cx.

Stay innocent, Cindy. Think of the children.

Cindy, Hec just gave you pretty much the rundown. It's a graphic picture of... ack, I can't even bring myself to describe it. It's become rather renowned on teh intarwebs as a picture to gross out your friends.

Even now the image is burned onto my retina. (FTR, shrift's link upthread doesn't have pictures attached, so you could read about it, textily, without the lifetime of scarring.)

non-describey x-post!
