I remember that, too. But I'm turned off when actors use the awards as a venue for expressing their political views. I didn't like it when George C. Scott did it or when Marlon Brando did it by having an Native American pick up his Oscar with a political message. I don't think the awards are the time or place. Just my .02
I thought the Oscars this year were pretty good despite one uncomfortable moment when that woman (Best Documentary or something) started to rant on stage.
