Its an award ceremony. A totoally inappropriate place to air your view on anything other than the topic at hand. Thoses who have used it as their personal soap box in the past shouldn't be allowed to do so in the future.
If they haven't done that before then they shouldn't be banned from attending, but If they do, then why should the producers put up with them next time around?
By all means let them have their views, but they shouldn't be aired at an awards ceremony.

OK, bad example, but the point stands that people could say anything, and it could be bad.
Remember that they're unlikely to stand up on the podium and roll off all the facts. They'll just stand there and either say "war is baaaad" or "war is goooooood", while the millions of people glued to their television sets who will soon have the capacity to vote through them will be sagely nodding their heads, belieing the truth has fallen into their laps like mana from heaven.

Nothing except that Sean Penn has been quietly campaigning for the UN to be listened to and visited Iraq 2 months ago to witness things, as part of his Red Cross sponsorship.
The point is, these people could put across any controversial view they pleased.
Who's to stop Sean Penn running up and screaming "bomb the filthy Iraqi b******s!!"?

Just wanted to clear that up before I decided how importantly to treat your contribution.
Ta.

Yes. Yes I am.
So now not only are you saying a person is "ill informed" because of their job, you also blanket everyone with the actions of a few?
Coldplay recently picked up an award for something or other, before leaving the podium, they screamed something about resisting Bush before he took over the world.
No, your right, these people are right on the money...

Why is someone suddenly "ill-informed" because of their line of work?
It seems extremely narrow minded to think like that.

I don't agree with the mass media stance any more than you do, but you can't tell the papers to shut up as easilly as you can a few self-important celebrities.
