I hadn't realized that Sandra Oh is married to the director. Small world.

that explains a lot. Not Bob will back me up that casting her is not otherwise comprehensible to anyone who read the novel

Blame Michael Powell (and Canada).

Not Omaha. You just head for the Old Market, and you'll do OK.

At least, I did the last time I had to be there.

New haven? By any chance, did you attend Yale?

But 50% of the people saying it have to be Canadian born?

I don't think they went well together, and I certainly don't think that his voice was superior to hers.

Folks, folks...

Back in the day, I asked all y'all about this guy (his voice is fabulous -- I don't care what anyone says). He's the one who sings the stealth Jesus song (You Lift Me Up or some such thing).

He is the one who sang that song for the movie too. Why they needed Beyonce (AGAIN!) is beyond me. Whoever said they didn't like all that eye makeup - 1. (or whatever the number is for disagreement). I wasn't sure who it was when I walked in the room -- my husband said he thought it might be Beyonce, but then he said, "Nah, I don't think so...". Anyway, my thought was, "Whoever it is -- that eye makeup looks totally bitchin'."

Good one. You are on a roll today, sir. Maybe it's the hardhat.

And if they're going to say it, they have to say it in both English and French.

She's fucking cool as hell too.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - George W. Bush won the "Razzie" worst actor of the year award on Saturday for his performance as president in "Fahrenheit 9/11" but his moment in Hollywood's dubious spotlight was eclipsed by Halle Berry, who actually turned up to receive her embarrassing accolade.

Berry was named worst actress of 2004 by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation for her performance in "Catwoman" and she showed up to accept her "Razzie" carrying the Oscar she won in 2002 for "Monster's Ball."

"They can't take this away from me, it's got my name on it!" she quipped. A raucous crowd cheered her on as she gave a stirring recreation of her Academy Award acceptance speech, including tears.

She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman," a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.

"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of shit," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

It is rare for a Razzie winner to show up at the spoof awards held on the night before Oscars -- but Berry did, saying her mother taught her that to be "a good winner you had to be a good loser first." She received a standing ovation.

That's awesome.

I really liked the eye makeup, too--especially the green stuff with her first performance outfit.
