ALW and Chita dissed — Page 2

TheSassySam said: "I was not really paying attention and at the end I thought they were celebrating Chita in Sunset Boulevard and I was VERY confused/disappointed that never happened."

But Rita Moreno did do Sunset Boulevard, so you could kind of say that Chita did it

I agree with you. It seems the best way to avoid the outrage this presentation has caused. And yet, while I agree it is best to honor each lifetime achiever individually, I also believe there has been an overreaction to the decision to go this way. Maybe their decision had a good reason behind it. One theory: ALW was selected as the honoree when an insider on the board the dish that Chita may not make it until next year alive, hence the shared award. I know...just saying. I'd love to hear from the show presenters about why they chose to go this way.

I was in her presence within the past year and she has more energy than I do!

I enjoyed the mash-up. I enjoyed seeing the real thing as opposed to people recreating their performances. I thought the editing was pretty cool.
