I, too, noticed the lopsided-ness of the awards. However, I've come to realize that this year's ceremonies may have been the perfect complement to the Newt Gingrich-fueled political goings-on in the U.S. over the past 6 months. After all, the winners were mainly white people, with the biggest winner of all being a man of questionable intellect. :) Christopher White
