Is The Prez Not Rooting For Viola?

According to this report, the Obamas’ horse in the Oscar race for Best Picture is “The Artist.” Fine. It’s going to win, so no risk there. The First Lady also says that her husband is a fan of Meryl Streep, who is nommed for Best Actress for “The Iron Lady.” So he will not be rooting for my candidate, Viola Davis in “The Help,” on Oscar night? Fact is, the NBA All-Star game is on opposite the Oscars (I know, I know: it annoys me, too: the game always used to be held earlier in February) and I’m pretty sure I know which show the Prez will be watching. In other “Help” news, Viola’s costar, Octavia Spencer, in 2008 bet the movie’s director, Tate Taylor, that if Obama were elected that she would run down the street naked. After the election, she ran down the street in her bra and panties, yelling, “A black man has been elected to the White House!”

  1. All Michelle said is that her husband likes Meryl. Stop stirring the shit!

  2. I think you are right. Obama will be watching the basketball game that night. He is not concerned about who wins the Oscars.
