I don’t understand. Why is Renee melting? WTF is going on with her? Is it really true after all that if you keep making a face it will stick that way? ---

> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > I wasn’t complaining about Hamlisch being included. I was remarking that **Uncle Jocko** ’s comment might have been wishful thinking. Streisand did, however, seem to be saluting only Hamlisch instead of the whole death roll. I vaguely remember from last year’s ceremonies that someone got a special tribute then as well. Can’t remember who, though. ---

You know, I’m sick of hearing about Chicago. Who has actually rented it in the last decade? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/85th-academy-awards-viewing-thread/651279.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/85th-academy-awards-viewing-thread/651279.md?page=17)
