Arts&Entertainment: March 25, 2003 This year's cry: Viva la Oscars!
Michael Moore's rant against President Bush turned out to be the easiest thing to predict about Sunday night's 75th annual Academy Awards.
A few snags, but a great time overall
HOLLYWOOD -- Sure, there were some downers at this year's Oscars. The most honored themes included homicide (Chicago), suicide (The Hours) and genocide (The Pianist). The red carpet was reduced to a doormat. Sirens, police helicopters and the chants of antiwar protesters three blocks away could be heard in the lobby of the Kodak Theatre. And there were empty seats for the first time that I can recall in 16 years of Oscargoing.
Calendar
