...Worst 1. The Sly Stone Tribute The introduction by "Crazy" Dave Chappelle was a high point, even though, as Chappelle admitted, "It's like watching a baby walk, isn't it?" Then the music started and all hell broke loose. The Grammy producers really enjoy "spontaneous" moments, and despite years of evidence, they believe nothing provides more of them than star-filled medleys. What we learned is that Joss Stone, John Legend, Fantasia, Maroon 5, Ciara, Will.i.am, Steve Tyler, Joe Perry and Robert Randolph all have one thing in common-they can butcher Sly Stone songs beyond recognition...
...opening cribbed from Big Country, but Chris Martin's vocals were all over the place, even in the tremolo parts that he usually nails. On the plus side, Martin's all black outfit with gleaming white sneakers was a nice 20th anniversary tribute to Run DMC's Raising Hell...
Loudly dressed and louder voiced, they're the tourists from hell. Self-centered and sex-obsessed, they rarely miss the chance to insult each other or the locals. And that's why the French lionize them. This septet of risibly dysfunctional characters collectively known as Les Bronzés (the Suntanners) have become Gallic cultural icons. Their egotism and low-brow fixations are still catnip to French comedy fans even though their debut film hit the screens a full 28 years ago. Their second - and only other - sortie into cinema, Les Bronzés Go Skiing, released a year later...
...TALK THAT BEING NOMINATED OR WINNING AN OSCAR DOESN'T MEAN MUCH IN TERMS OF FUTURE SUCCESS? No. You've got to think that for the rest of my career, the title of Academy Award nominee--and possibly winner--will always be there. That's a hell of a calling card. It's like when a doctor receives his degree. There's always that Dr. in front of his name...
...know what kind of society produced them. I am well educated and had a high-paying corporate job in Denmark, but I was still subjected to derogatory comments all the time because I look Middle Eastern. Every single second-generation Muslim Dane I met wanted to get the hell out. Why? They say, "We grew up here, but we feel unwelcome. We can't get jobs." Perhaps it's the same feeling that Jews felt at the time of the Nazis or black people in the U.S. in the '50s. It's just not funny. And I'm not even...
