    What is Anna Wintour doing attached to anything with the word "humanity" involved? Is she there to give the outsider perspective? #annawintour

    Would just like to point out that Forest Whitaker is a Scientologist. Thankfully, this just seems to be a sop to fundraisers and not anything that will accomplish much on a policy level. #annawintour

    @Jackson West: These people are the very definition of bourgeois mediocrity. Sure, they're all technically proficient, but they're unremarkable figures who fall into two categories: either extremely conventional (Edward Norton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ma Yoyo, Kerry Washington, Anna Wintour) or outstanding flakes (Alfre Woodward, Forest Whitaker, Teresa Heinz Kerry). What have they given us that will truly last? Oh, who cares anyway? --I just don't like people calling them "cultural figures." Maybe "society luminaries" would be a better term.

    @i'm a bottle: You know what's odd? That among the fresh batch of 26 appointees to the Committee on the Arts and Humanities there is not ONE artist-artist. You know, a painter. A sculptor. An art photographer. An installation artist. A video artist. No one whose work would be displayed in galleries or museums.

    I don't mind Anna Wintour; she's nec pluribus impar in her field and a staunch supporter of young American fashion designers who think outside the box. She makes sense. Yo-Yo Ma doesn't bother me either. Ed Norton I sorta get--he just produced a doc on Obama's campaign, so this is his reward. But Bryan Lourd, Kerry Washington and Sarah Jessica Parker befuddle me. These are not people who trade in, or represent, the "artistic" or "humanistic" side of filmmaking. These people are the reason why David Lynch, arguably a true American original and an artist of the utmost order, can't get funding in the U.S. for his films. I suppose they'll sing him official hosannas when he's dead..

    @snugbug: You let Yo-Yo Ma off too easily. Look at his dicography since 1996. It's purely commercial tripe. There's nothing significant on it at all after that point. Compare the music he chooses to perform with the music that Rostropovich performed. Night and day there. #annawintour

    Wintour looks like some sort of crazy test tube love child created with the DNA of Lisa Kudrow and Barbara Streisand. Or is it just me?

    In fairness, she may have no idea what the going rates are so $3,000 seemed reasonable. It's like rich people having no idea what a gallon of milk costs.

    She's been up and coming for like 10 years and I'm not having it.


    Her acting is all big eyes and quivering lip.


    I get that people like her look, but please, can we make with the real acting chops people?


    We're never going to have another Meryl Streep are we. You know, at this point, I'd settle for a Goldie Hawn (something light with a littel kick to it).


    I won't even ask for another Bette Midler, I know that's totally out of the question in this age of Megan Fox and Hills and some other sexy, mediocre talent, I don't understand what this is supposed to be; hey, what, I'm supposed to like this?


    *Also, every couple of years they throw us black folk a bone in an actress that is supposed to be good...and that's how we got stuck with "hey, isn't she great? no, really she's a great actress that's why she's winning this award and it just so happens to coincide with the presenting of an Honorary award recognizing the career of the first black man who won the award on the same night this other great black man is winning his second award of this type" Halle Berry.

    Usually when someone moves here to do a play the production finds her a place to live and foots the bill. Obviously, part of her deal was "we'll pay you but you gotta find your own place to live." Which proves she ain't that big.

    Or she only wants to pay $3,000 because she wants to pocket the rest of her per diem.

    Is she willing to room with Ruth Madoff? They could split all the expenses.
