The "politics" seems to have referred to internal Academy stuff,
especially campaigning for awards, and not political life in general.
I still wonder why "thank you" wasn't good enough, though.
My biggest problem was with Barbra Streisand and her pompous "The time
has come" bullshit and pregnant pause when she announced the winner for
Best Director. Bigelow deserved to have her name read out loudly and
quickly. That it was an important moment was obvious, although I guess
to a scenery-chewer like Streisand, nothing can be *too* obvious. |
