Hollywood Protests War with Pins, Peace Signs
How did the Oscars fare in this time of Shock and Awe? J. Hoberman traces leftist Hollywood history, and decodes this year’s protest squiggle. He concludes that Michael Moore's speech, although booed, was not the evening's moment to remember. "There was no John Wayne on hand to shoot down the obstreperous Moore," he writes. Nor was it Adrien Brody's Al Gore-like smooch on Halle Barry. Instead the youngest Best Actor's heartfelt anti-war speech put the grace note on the 75th Oscars.
