Well, that didn’t take long. Best Actress nominee Julianne Moore held a press conference to declare that she doesn’t believe in God or the 2nd amendment. I assume she planned to make these points in acceptance speech at the Academy Awards, then realized she might not actually win the Oscar, so better to get it off her chest now.
I think this could be the start of a good trend, actually. Going public with your odd ideas before you even win your award. It make the voting easier, right? For example, if Jews really DO control Hollywood, how will they feel about Julianne declaring there’s no god?
And it opens the door to other, more pertinent questions. “Ms. Moore – you say you don’t believe in guns, even legally owned. But do you believe that a call to 911 would result in a police response in less than 45 minutes?”
Actually, Julianne is not the first low IQ star to express herself without fear (she’s a college dropout, and the author of kiddie books like “Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully” (for real – google it, if you don’t believe me.)
Before Julia, quite a number of other Oscar nominees went public with their odd beliefs. There are too many to list here, so I’ve only included my top 10. These are from memory, so don’t get mad if the quotes aren’t exact, okay?
10 – (Angelina Jolie – “Girl Interrupted”, 1999. An eerily prescient preview of her future behavioral decline, no?) – “Taxes are waaaay too high on the rich. I wouldn’t have adopted those 10 kids from Africa if I’d known you only get a $2,500 IRS exemption for each one. Do you have any idea what all those nannies, chauffers, chefs, and maids cost?”
9 – (Bradley Cooper – “American Sniper”) – “Wow . . .guns are such a trip, man. I must have pulled off like 5,000 rounds while making this movie. Do you know I’ve got an AR15 of my own, and a firing range on my ranch now?”
8 – (Woody Allen – “Manhattan”) – “I like small booties, and I cannot lie . . . “
7 – (Joan Crawford – “Possessed”, 1948) “Actually, wire hangers are ideal for keeping your kids in line . .”
6 – (Anthony Hopkins – “Silence of the Lambs”) – “I actually DID eat a human liver once. Just to get a feel for the role. But it was an organ donation that had gone past its “best if used by” date. I didn’t kill anyone . . .”
5 – (Jeff Bridges – that awful “True Grit” remake) – “Can you believe it? I don’t know how to swim. Never been scuba diving in my life, not even once. Go figure!”
4 – (Sean Penn – “Mystic River”) – “Actually, I have about a gazillion dollars in the bank. And a really good tax accountant. The IRS gets virtually nothing from me.”
3 – (Ben Kingsley – “Gandhi”) – "India is actually the dirtiest, smelliest place you can imagine. Thank goodness that most of the shoots were at a sound stage in London.”
2 – (Mel Gibson – “Braveheart”) – “Well, if they DIDN’T kill Jesus, who do you think did? Use your [Unwelcome language removed] brain, for pete’s sake!”
1 – (Shirley MaClaine – “Terms of Endearment”) – “In a past life I think I was Lizzie Borden. Don’t axe me why, I just have this feeling”
Reader Quiz – today’s photo – of Julianne Moore shooting a pistol – was in a role which did NOT win her any awards. What film is it from, and who actually won an Oscar playing the same role instead of Moore?
