3/20/2003 03:50:00 AM | Karsten Barde And So It Begins According to a New York Times piece [link here], Artists United to Win Without War, part of the mainstream (read: more credible than A.N.S.W.E.R.) Win Without War coalition had planned for members to wear antiwar pins during Oscar night. Well, will they go ahead with it and directly defy a Commander-in-chief in full swing? A source in the Times story said: "Californians love that sense of distinctiveness," said Peter Bart, editor of Variety. "We're not going to see the 60's again, but I think we are going to see a lot of rebellion against the mandates of Washington. This is an unpredictable and bizarre place, and I think we are definitely heading into an intensely politicized time in Hollywood." Americans love their celebrities and few nights of the year are as closely watched as Oscar night... I'm interested to see what happens. This first strike certainly has not been the "shock and awe" we expected. What's next? Peace activists were on street corners holding candlelight vigils Wednesday night, but what will they do Thursday, Friday and over the weekend? Will Bush get the neat surgical strike ("decapitation") that he wanted? Word is that the first missile strikes missed Saddam. Who else were we aiming for?
