Now that's a statement you don't hear every day at an awards ceremony.

Most appropriate, though. Republicans are probably going to have a fit over it.

The guy doing the make-up deserves an Oscar, and a permanent place on the Impossible Mission Force.

then managed to lose it. Tom Hanks gained and lost 50 pounds for Cast Away and Matt Damon gained and lost 40 pounds in only 3 months. I don't know how they do it.

in the Mitch McConnell story. With the right director and script, and surrounded by a human cast of talented actors, it could be funny as hell.

I just can't believe the movie was in the comedy category. They stuck to the facts, and it wasn't funny.
