I always get teary when men do the 'thank their better half' part of the acceptance speech. Nice going Mike Nichols, Billy Crystal and yes, Edward Albee. To be politically correct, let me not forget Ms. Jones.
Africana news ... 2005 was not last year's celebration with Ms. Rashad being the first Black woman to win Best Actress in a drama. Instead we saw Al Sharpton goof the answer in the Putnam County Spelling Bee and had to suffer through Ms. Franklin's labored version of 'Somewhere.'
