You never disappoint. Let's ban Warren Beatty, too. No longer has he the wherewithal for public appearances. And all the presenters who don't have the wherewithal to practice pronouncing the names of the nominees. And Jimmy Kimmel, who should have run on stage and corrected the Oscar situation. Too bad Elizabeth Taylor is dead. She mispronounces Jimmy Nederlander's name at the Tonys. I would have banned her from our public airwaves.

At this point, you are babbling and indulging in straw man arguments. I never said Warren Beatty should be "banned." On the contrary, I give him credit for pausing and looking offstage for help at the Oscars, though it is unfortunate that he then handed the card to Dunaway :-(

Neither would I say that people who have mispronounced the names of awards winners should be "banned," although I do think it behooves anyone who gets such an assignment to try VERY HARD to make sure they learn the correct pronunciation, so they can fulfill their assignment correctly.

On a related note, I was quite amazed that Steve Harvey survived his Miss Universe debacle unscathed, but he certainly did, so I guess all bets have been off since then.

Well, good. Anyone else you'd like to ban while you're on this tirade?
