Personally, I prefer the Oscars to be about celebrating movies, but it is good to know that we live in a country where people are free to express their political opinions at them. This is from today's Internet Movie Database website as well.
Oscar Bosses Promise Not To Cut Political Remarks
Oscar producer Joe Roth has promised nominees the planned five-second delay in the telecast will not be used to cull any controversial political remarks. The America's Sweethearts director has been forced to implement a delay between the live ceremony and the broadcast following Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's breast-baring Super Bowl performance on February 1. But Roth insists any repeat of Michael Moore's anti-war speech last year would not be left on the cutting room floor. He says, "At the nominees luncheon yesterday, I spoke with the nominees and just said that, when they come up, they're all under this microscope, unfortunately, because of these events a couple weeks ago. But it only applies to the use of profanity or nudity."
