Without BushCo, "Hurt Locker" wouldn't have won Oscars

Via letters to the L.A. Times Calendar section:

"The Hurt Locker" was a good movie and well written but I find it strange that no credit was given to ex-President Bush and Vice President Cheney for starting the Iraq war. Without their orchestration, "Hurt Locker" and Kathryn Bigelow would not be holding those Oscars.

That's some honor, eh BushCo?

Peter Gabriel pulls out of Oscars after organisers shorten his performance to just 65 seconds



Aw hell no. Peter Gabriel's supposed to sing a song in 65 seconds? Not possible, and I'm glad he told them so.

Peter Gabriel has pulled out of his performance at the Oscars ceremony after organisers shortened his stage time to just 65 seconds.
In a video on his website, the Academy Award-nominated singer said he had hoped to perform the complete version of Down To Earth.

(snip)

Gabriel said: 'It's a bit unfortunate'.

But he added he was 'an old fart' who could afford to 'make a little protest'.
