That's the Oscars for ya - you remember who was nominated, but you don't remember who won!
Bette MidlerThank God for the gays. I don't know what would have happened but I know what did happen. Good for them and good for me.

Bette MidlerI think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed.

Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
