I alternately love it and loathe it. But I have to admit I love it more often than not, and much more than I have any of my other jobs.
But as I said, there are days...
...and we're going through a bunch of them now. It should calm down a bit after next week, but until then, Oy F'ing Vey!

Roz should have won MANY Oscars.
Tell it to Judy Garland.
Everyone knocks her for Gypsy too. She was the first Momma Rose I saw and I still think she was fantastic.
Judy Garland, another of the egregiously overlooked. Grace Kelly in THE COUNTRY GIRL!?! Are you kidding me?
Seriously. One of the worst moments in Oscar history. Poor Judy with the mics attached to her in her hospital room.
that is a classic Oscar story. I recently saw The Country Girl and was underwhelmed.
Wow. I have never heard any of this... Judy was in the hospital waiting to accept an Oscar and didn't get it?
She had just given birth to Joey Luft, DD.
They had her hooked up in case she won, so she could accept via satellite. She didn't, so as she used to tell it, as soon as Kelly's name was announced they ripped the mic off of her, threw their stuff in the cases and took off. Leaving her there rather stunned.
1954. Garland for A Star Is Born.
Wow. Just wow.
Only one of the greatest performances on film EVER. Idiots.
Okay, I'm out. Latah.
There was another Oscar winner (I want to say Crawford for Mildred Pierce) who did accept from her hospital room.
Anyone know?
Edit: It was Crawford, but it was stage fright. She accepted from her home via satelite.
Crawford accepted from her home. She stayed home that night, purportedly with a "cold." She was fine, just nervous that she wouldn't win.
And it's a good thing for those kids that she DID win. Can you imagine...
I hate it when someone PMs you and doesn't accept replies.
Isn't that just the worst.
La La La. . . .
Can you imagine getting hit with an Oscar.
DD, I don't know why but that made me lol.
I've been tapped by an Oscar. But never hit; he was gentle.
TINA! BRING ME MY OSCAR!!!
Where's the drunken slur Deet?
