[nytemare]

You go girl! I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby yet, but I am glad she won.

[Emops]

1. "The only female in Academy history to be nominated for playing a boxer."

No shit?

Did you know Jamie Foxx is the only person in Academy history to be nominated for playing Ray Charles?

[Shadowen]

2. That picture of Ronnie smacking his head...

...seems particularly apropos with that post.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. It sure does!

:silly:

[progmom]

8. I was thinking the same thing!

[nytemare]

3. LOL

I hope Jamie wins too, he did a hell of a job in Ray.

[HeyManThatsCool]

9. ROFLMFAO

seriously.............. SO FUCKING FUNNY

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

16. Yeah, I thought that was weird

It seems like there's a lot of options that haven't been taken yet.

I'm thinking that I want to try for "Only female in Academy Award history to be nominated for playing a girl who lives in a treehouse."

Has that been taken yet?

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I wanted Kate Winslet to win actually

But whatever, I knew it wasn't gonna happen.

Hillary seems really aggressive giving her speech.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

11. I wanted Catalina Sandino Moreno win.

[WI_DEM]

12. me too

Her acceptance speech was not very good, but she is good in "Million Dollar Baby" but I think Kate is even better.

[Ekirh]

13. I'm glad for Hillary

She gave a great performance... but it would've been sweet if Kate got the award.. but like you said... knew it wasn't going to happen.

[Kire]

15. I want Clementine to marry me.

Kate Winslet's character just so marriable? (is that a word?)

[progmom]

5. I'm thrilled for her.

She said she's a girl from a trailer park? Is that true?

[lavenderdiva]

17. absolutely true...

she was on Oprah recently, and talked about growing up in a trailer park. Her parents separated, and all her mom could scrape together was $75 and a gas credit card. She and her mom drove to California to explore her dream of being an actress. They ate in the service stations off the credit card, and when they got to California, lived in the car until they made some friends who were selling their house. The friends allowed them to sleep in the house and shower, but they had to leave during the day, as the house was being shown. Then she got the role on that Aaron Spelling series (name, I forget?), and off she went to fame and fortune!

[progmom]

18. thanks for the info

I think she was on 90210.

[blueblitzkrieg]

19. Yea, they actually fired her from 90210. nt

[lavenderdiva]

21. thanks for helping with the title..

I'm getting senile. It sucks.

[blueblitzkrieg]

7. She's great in Million Dollar Baby.

I love her. She's so humble and gracious and just seems like a great person. Happy she won.

[NYC Liberal]

10. Yay, I'm so glad! She was excelling in MDB.

I'm sure the Freepers are going nuts!

[terrya]

14. She wouldn't shut up!!

At least she acknowledged her husband this time. :-)

[kaitykaity]
