A Pre-Oscar Rant...

Am I the only one who thinks that Halle Berry's acceptance speech for Monster's Ball back in 2002 was totally unmoving and void of meaning? (You may remember that her speech centered on all of the "women of color" who her award was for...blah blah blah.). I only bring it up because I just watched a replay of it as a candidate for "best acceptance speech ever." It won second place.

The winner was Tom Hanks speech following Philadelphia about victims of AIDS. His was poetic and touching, even if maybe a little too political...But it was a good speech nonetheless, and shouldn't have even been grouped with Halle Berry's annoying whining.

Of course, hers must have been a great speech in P.C. land...
