I think Hollywood is getting overwhelmed. With the impending war and the impending Oscars, our embattled celebrities are being forced to balance too many concerns. Case in point:

Nicole Kidman and Daniel Day-Lewis were two stars at a pre-Oscars news conference yesterday. They were asked about what they might wear and what they have to say about a possible war. Nicole said she would wear a black suit over a pale lace camisole and that she could see both sides of the war issue. Day-Lewis didn't talk about his attire as far as we know, but re: war he said "It would seem obscene if we're seen bouncing up the red carpet grinning when people are dying. It's going to be very difficult to find a way to do this."

Such a nuisance, this war, messing up the Oscars like that.
