That movie sucked!!!! Now I know those people in hollywood are morons. It was ok till the end. To me it felt like they ran out of production money because the movie ended so stupidly out of nowhere everybody starts shooting eachother in the head. All for nothing because the guy that everyone was after was working for the feds anyway... Stupid movie. Superman was better than that.

All I know is Babel was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. How Cate can be nominated for that role was even more of a joke.

"Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson won best supporting actress for her blazing performance in the musical Dreamgirls".

Are they f*cking kidding me? Blazing performance? Out of all the movies and other actresses, Jennifer Hudson, with no acting experiance wins best suppoting actress? This is nothing but a paid vote from the studio behind the movie, as when a movie picks up a award, it increases further revenue with dvd rentals etc. The movie was a flop in the cinema......Makes you wonder what the motives are for award shows and who is voting?

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through free market policy solutions, issued a press release late Monday:

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion,[20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006

Gore sounds like the Clintons, the rich and famous like to hobnob with Hollywood. They are entitled to all use all the energy they can, as they can afford it. They don't know how the average people live. I just heard Laura Bush on Larry King's show and she says the economy is great. She is ready to retire to Texas and enjoy life, rich and famous too.

Nothing will appear less attractive to you than the predictable today and that which was acceptable yesterday will seem tedious. Try to deliberately court people and activities that will inject some excitement into your life and exercise that bright intellect. It could well be someone you meet when you undertake a new challenge that will add a sparkle to the day.
