FOX "news" commentary: F911 will sweep the Oscars
"Because Hollywood and Europe have to get back for their embarrassing Election Day loss. You haven't heard much from those people since the election (showing Streisand on screen) but here it comes, the Oscars with Billy Crystal making jokes about George Bush thinking 'this will show them!'"

WOW ----Pre-emptive whining!

3. Why do they always go after Streisand?
I can't remember the last time she said anything political in public. It's like she badmouthed Bush once in 2000 (along with millions of other average people) and they use it against her forever. It's really odd.

12. A feminist Jew who is seen as abrasive
and "too" Jewish.

She also posts lots of anti-george stuff on her website in the "Articles of Interest" section.

4. Fair and Balanced as always.
Passion of the Gibson probably won't get anything because the liberals in Hollywood hate Jesus.

I personally think Team America will sweep the Oscars.

6. Sadly, I think Moore forfeited his right to compete...
for an Oscar when he allowed F 9/11 to air on TV before the election. That's what I remember hearing, anyway. Hope I am wrong.

20. They might split those two
between Gibson and Moore. I may not like the idea of a film about Christ that focuses almost completely on torture, but I didn't like the subject of "the silence of the lambs", either, and it beat a film that I worked on for best picture by 30 votes. It's how well the film was made, not the subject matter, that usually brings home the statue.

22. Farheneit 9/11 was pulled from best doco category...
So it could be broadcast before election. But it's still in running for best picture.

8. GOP has fed, most state govs, but even the Oscars is too much resistance.
Aside from a couple of English Lit college programs and other than action movie genres, that's all the liberals have.

And the right hates, hates, hates them for it.

Who cares about the Oscars - the American people have spoken.

11. Haven't heard from Streisand? Meet the Fockers has made
210 million and I haven't heard from her? It broke records on both Christmas and New Years day and I haven't heard from her?

Yeah Fox is really tuned in to popular culture.

17. Call out to Catholic Du'ers
I heard that Mel Gibson belonged to a radical sect of Catholicism, (Septuagints (sp?),that are not in communion with the Pope. Is this true?

We know that his father is a HOLOCAUST denier, is this a part of the Septuagints (sp?), belief, and does Mel participate in this belief?

15. How are they going to tap dance through that minefield???
On the one hand, they are rabidly pro-Israel, no matter what, without any context, but then they use codespeak to deride all of those doggone "Hollywood Jews" who are responsible for the liberal nature of films.

I guess they are telling us that the only "good" Jews are in Israel??? Not counting the ones that donate generously to the GOP, I suppose....
