20. Do you ever actually WATCH the Oscars? Proud tradition of political speeches there.
If there WEREN'T a political speech in a given year, I'd consider the Oscars a complete failure.

Vanessa Redgrave's "Zionist hoodlums."

Sacheen Littlefeather (even though she was not actually a Native American).

Michael Moore: "Shame on you, Mr. Bush! Shame on you!"

Richard Gere sending positive energy to get Chinese troops out of Tibet.

Vietnam documentary winner reading a letter from the Viet Cong thanking the country for turning against the Vietnam War (which completely freaked out Repuglicans Sinatra, Hope and Wayne).

And on and on.
