From The Scotsman (and I don't mean Sean Connery), via The Morning News: "Oscars blacklist stars in bid to prevent peace protest speeches"
Who's on the list, you wonder? Meryl Streep, Sean Penn, Vanessa Redgrave, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman, Ed Norton, Dennis Hopper, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Spike Lee.
Who's still going on, for now, even though she's opposed to war? Salme Hayek
Who keeps Oscar producer/Elia Kazan Lifetime Achievement award winner Gil Cates up at night? Michael Moore ("you can pry my mic from my cold, dead hand"), who, "worryingly, for the Oscar producers, won loud applause after telling the [Writers Guild ] audience: "What I see is a country that does not like whatís going on. Letís all commit ourselves to Bush removal in 2004."
