dumbass,
No Chris is rolling with the "accountants"
But I should have know Penn was going to have something to protest!!!!Rock was just joking and Penn needs to grow a sense of humor.Sure Rock called out Jude Law but he also made fun of himself and saud that Jude Law has been working so much much that his next role will be as Kareem Abdul Jabar!!

Yeah and it's very fucked up that the you leave the most important awards until the end of the night and then wonder why the winners get pissed off and continue talking thru the music!!

But the thing I noticed was that the left out Katerine Hepburn's name in the "people who died this year" montages then I realized that she died in 2003!!Damn time flies I thought it was like maybe 6 months ago!!!

dumbass,
Exactly Sean Penn is always mad about something....

dumbass,
Good cause I was about to hang out a little longer but I am tired .....

every comic in the world must of stayed home to watch the show cause I run a open mic on sundays that's usually packed with comics, and only like 6 comics showed

astonamous,
He has got to give himself more credit than that.Nothing ever against Hope but I don't think Rock took anything from away from his own edge, maybe he just means the fact that Bob Hope did so many of the Oscars as host and Richard Pryor even did one too ;p

astonamous,
What is an interesting thought is that The Passion of The Christ was not being included in the awards due to controversy, but Chris Rock is the just the right amount for tv.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405676/ - No wonder Sean Penn was defensive of Jude Law..they got a movie together!!'

bingolong,
people like to get too much out of this thing.......if you can't take a joke then get outta the business....I swear when he says something it is hilarious...but when you say the same thing you are full of it...even if you get bad publicity hell it is you are in the limelight anyway.....hell I never knew who Jude Law was....an I possibly would have never known if Rock did not say anything.....some people walk around wound so tight, hell they squeak when they walk..... :p

Appaloosa,
True Dat!!

Rock and Penn Clash Over Law


Oscars host Chris Rock infuriated 2004 winner Sean Penn at Sunday night's Academy Awards, when he doubted the acting ability of Penn's latest co-star Jude Law. The comedian placed Law as a 'second choice' for casting agents after Tom Cruise in between award presentations at the ceremony in Hollywood's Kodak Theater. Rock said, "You want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law? Wait. You want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell? Wait. Alexander is not Gladiator. You want Denzel Washington and all you can get is me? Wait. Denzel's a fine actor. He would have never made Pootie Tang." When Penn arrived on stage to present the Best Actress trophy to Hilary Swank, he took time to defend Law, his co-star in All The King's Men, which is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana. Penn says, "Jude is one of our finest actors. What Jude and all other talented actors know is that for every great, talented actor, there are five actresses who are nothing short of magic." Backstage, Rock said he had spoken to Penn about their disagreement. He explains, "Sean said because he's working with Jude on a movie right now he felt the need to... I don't know. It's kind of funny."

bingolong,
I agree that Denzel Washington would have never made Pootie Tang....I have not seen that movie myself......but just the name is funny...altho Rock is a great comedian his acting is a little wooden....but he did great for the Oscars......I seen most of the show....I like Pryor's acting in Woman Sing's the Blues...almost all of it.....anyway later
