I've never wanted to kick an actress as much as Melanie Griffith -

She never lost the baby voice. I blame Ryan O'neil for molesting her as a kid and arresting her development.

Even when he announces the winner she manages to talk over him at the exact moment to take the power out of the announcement. It's sort of funny really.

Well, patronizing Don "Dear" Johnson could use his ass kicked, too.

Irritating how alike they look. That's on purpose.

The banter is horrible. Probably the most cringe inducing Oscars ever. This was the Allan Carr year of course. He had the great (sarcasm) idea of pairing all the presenters up as co stars and or couples. The next year Gil Cates took over as producer and reimplemented last years male winner presenting to the new female winner.

Yes, the banter is awful and way too long.

Didn't Don Johnson also molest her when she was a kid?

Fuck the 70s. What an awful decade.

What's this got to do with the 70s?

Boy, she really played the cutesy card.

Tits McGee!

Johnson started fucking her when she was 14 and he was 24. He dumped Pamela Des Barres for wee Melanie. They did a soft porn Playboy spread; in one of the photos he's biting her naked ass, which has a pear tattooed on it. She has a pear tattooed on her ass because her affectionate nickname for him was "pere", which means "father." Yech! In a Playboy interview the interviewer mentioned that at 14 Griffith was a little young, wouldn't you say? And Johnson said that she was a very mature 14 year old and he was a very immature 24 year old, so it only evened out. Spoken like a true perv.

R10 Fucking creepy. Her mom set them up too. *shudder*

Wasn't her face mauled when she was a kid by one of the lions that Headrinse let roam around in their house?

There's a terrific film (c.1988) that she was in that makes me have a soft spot for her--"Stormy Monday."
