The Oscar Censor Inquires about Jamie Lee Curtis' Nipples

[Khephra]

snip............

The Oscars begin at 8:29:55 p.m. EST, and those extra five seconds are built in to give Futterman a chance to push a button that will eliminate any racy material. It's the first time the Oscars have been subject to that scrutiny -- thanks to Janet Jackson's breast-baring stunt at the Super Bowl.

Futterman remained on the prowl for nipples all day.

"Excuse me, Miss Curtis?" Futterman said, stopping Jamie Lee Curtis backstage after a rehearsal. "I need to ask you about your gown?"

Curtis listened, waiting.

"It's not see-through, is it?" Futterman asked.

"No, it's very elegant."

"Nipples covered?" Futterman insisted.

9. *thunk*

The sound of my jaw dropping.

I guess cuz Ms Curtis showed her nips 20 years ago ("Trading Places") she can never be trusted again.

Two gold stars for Futterman! Here, lemme pin them on...

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

14. Incredibly, it was a Miz Futterman....I picture her looking like

the network censor in the Bill Murray movie "Scrooged"...the woman who gets injured repeatedly and winds up all bandaged at the end...

12. I was worried about Susan Sarandon's dress

Did her one shoulder strap slip or was it supposed to be that way?

13. Done on purpose to show lack of support for the right. n/t

[Ediacara]

15. is that the real story?

If so, I think about 100 million people (myself included) were completely flabergasted by the atrocious one shoulder on, one shoulder off design.
