The 1967 best-picture race wasn't the usual face-off. It marked a shift in Hollywood, and in the culture.

    Oh shut up! I was born in 1954 and believed that my older and brothers and sisters had started something really new in the late sixties. Unfortunately, I found out it was all baloney when, in 2003, I saw the Emmy Awrads on TV and watched Dustin Hoffman sell out with his rediculous "Good Evening Good Evening Good Evening": opening. The night only got worse after viewing Simon & Garfunfel warble some songs and then fade silently away. No a word in protest. They obediently shut their traps because the television producers of the 2003 Emmy Awards told Hoffman and S&G not to say anything controversal about the Iraq situation. What a bunch of phonies! 1967 was not a revoluionary year. The "new stars" were no more than a bunch of shallow jerks who continued on were only interested in what was popular and porfitable. From what I read in Newsweek and other publications, I hate the phoniness of Harris' book. I glad to know all his revoluionaries live in the best digs. They certainly didn't risk that. But heaven forbid you are caught sell a fake Simon & Garfunkel tee- shirt. You're going down! Good Evening Good Evening Good Evening. .

    it remind me the teen-age times .an woderful time with a little bitter tastes.
    ------My name is wayland. Before, My life is full of loneliness and discrimination. I had few friends. I was afraid of coming out. Till one day, my friends told a good place gaysinglehunt.com where i made many gay friends. My life changed, no longer lonely,no discrimination. I am a happy gay now. I just want to say: Gay orientation isn???t wrong.
