Best Documentary Feature: “An Inconvenient Truth”

I just saw "Little Miss Sunshine" today. I thought it was pretty good but not good enough to win best picture.

Eddie Murphy?


I haven't seen the movie yet, so I guess I shouldn't really comment too much...
But based on past experience, I just couldn't picture him ever winning BSA.

Why did Melissa Etheridge lie about the "wife and children" back home??

She isn't married and doesn't have a wife!

At the Oscar party I attended somebody commented "Now I have to explain to my 10 year old daughter why this woman says she has a wife and family!"

What is it with these homosexuals, always playing for attention?

Why do they lie in their desperation to have us condone their lifestyle choices?

Why do you continually attempt to turn non-gay themed message board after non-gay themed message board into a discussion about gays?

You and tinkerbelle were discussing the Academy Awards!

It was a natural connection to the gay issues

Why are you suddenly so ashamed of your community?

So because two people who happen to be gay are discussing something, that automatically makes it ABOUT gays?

Sigh.
I leave it to the rest of the viewing audience to observe the obvious.

I never even commented on "my community".

All I asked was why you had to turn so many non-gay themed message boards into a gay issue.

It's hilarious how Jefferson whines up a storm that "gayness" is thrust in his face...
... but not one comment about how you repeatedly bring up "gay" as an issue where it wasn't one.
