bcagawam, you have some nerve suggesting that Melissa Leo "ruined" the Academy Awards! Admit it, you were rooting for somebody else to win and you are a poor sport! If you are so pure and holy, why do you say nothing about the TV networks, ABC included, which accept millions of dollars in advertising revenues from drug companies selling erectile dysfunction drugs? They then put the ads on the air during prime time. Can you just hear the children now? "Mommy and daddy, ABC did a wonderful thing in "bleeping" that naughty word Melissa Leo said so that I would not have to hear it. And bcagawam did a wonderful thing in denouncing Melissa Leo for her contributing to the decline and fall of America. But, what is a four (4) hour erection?"

If Kate Winslet caused Melissa Leo to drop the "F" bomb, somebody should take Kate across their knee and give her a good spanking. Any volunteers?

Great - now it's Kate's fault. Or is it just part of her "vernacular"? I don't care how you were raised, you are a professional NOW. If you can't clean up your own act, at least have enough character not to blame others.

Oh, for heaven's sake, can we please tone down the reaction? The whole awards show ruined because of one gaffe? If a person is that hung up on language, they are probably better off not watching a live presentation during which a lot of unrepressed artists are going to be speaking. This is the same group of people who made it fashionable to have a baby and THEN get married, or to have a baby and NOT get married at all. Save your outrage for issues that truly deserve it, not a bleeped F-bomb.

The Academy Awards were ruined because of Leo's big filthy mouth. If she was brought up with garbage coming out of her mouth,. let her stay home.

Shows a major lack of class. She thinks its funny to have a filthy mouth. Not impressed.
