People from India are not Americans, but, I suppose they are natives of some sort. The question is, is it “proper” to call them “Indians?” Or will the PC Poo-leece come after me? (Not that I care but you know…)
My boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel brought up a really good point last night on his Post-Oscar broadcast…they brought those kids that were in Slumdog Millionaire to Hollywood for the ceremony but can you imagine how hard it will be for them to return after that????
I love Hugh Jackman.
I wanted Mickey Rourke to win.
Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Doo Rag should’ve disqualified him for even being nominated.
Oh and speaking of PSH, I’m not gonna point fingers but did notice on one of our local news channels (:cough: WKRN:cough:) they were running graphics on nominees and they spelled “Seymour” wrong. Don’t mean to split hairs but if you’re gonna do a job like that, it might behoove one to do the homework? Or am I just being silly?
I was a bit comforted to see Sean Penn whip out his “cheaters” to read his speech cause anymore, I can’t read nothing without mine. He’s older than me, yes, but, it made the whole Cheater thing ok to see Jeff Spicoli needing some help reading.
Sophia Loren and Shirley MacLaine make Senior Citizenry not look all that bad.n And Meryl Streep too. Dadgum.
The In Memoriam segment was kinda lame. It lacked the “awwww” factor because of the way they timed the clips and photos. They should’ve asked me to do the Power Point on that. Gah.
Discuss.

People from India are Indian, but some of those guys were Tamil and some were Punjabi. If you’re really sensitive, I guess you could call them East Asian, but since you know their country, that seems kind of unnecessary. Academics yammer on about “Native Americans” and “indigenous people” but most American Indians call themselves American Indians (or their tribal name, like Cherokee), so I reckon it’s not a bad thing to call people what they call themselves.
