When Bigelow exited following her Best Director win? My jaw hit the floor. One step forward, one step back. Ugh.

They did play it and I thought it was funny. I think I did roar when they announced Bigelow.

I did too but it still doesn't make it less tacky.

We were discussing what they would have played for Lee Daniels over in the other thread.

They should have played "The Bitch is Back" when she won as a producer for the film.

Oh suck a lemon!

She deserved those Oscars.

That wasn't tacky. That was Marc Shaiman!

It totally demeaned her achievement as a director.

So, if Lee Daniels had won, would they have played 'Black Boys' from Hair?

When I win, I want Marc Shaiman to play "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life?"

I loved it when Barbra looked like she wanted to snatch the Oscar out of Bigelow's hands and start running.
Dry your tears...

Didn't Barbra actually say outloud, "Do you want me to hold it for you?" I loved it.

Kathryn Bigelow was once married to James Cameron?

Did everyone know this but me?

LOL, Reg. Yep.

That's part of what made it so delicious...

[StockardFan]

Posted: 3/8/10 at 12:54pm

Yes, Reg. Everyone knew that but you....LOL!

[Reginald Tresilian]

Not the first time . . .

Well, doubly good for her, then!
