1. Nothing sets the tone for the evening like having Babara delving into Ellen’s messed up childhood: neglectful mother and molesting stepfather… Woo Hoo! Those are images I want running through my head during the Oscars. Jesus Barbara, cut the woman some slack!
2. In Barbara’s intro she made a comment about the risk Eddie Murphy took by taking on the role of James “Thunder” Early in Dreamgirls. Really? What about the role of playing an obese woman in a fat suit or the release of his 1985 album - How Could It Be? And while I’m on the subject, what is it with black men playing large black women in movies? Is that funny?
