The Washington Hollywood Connection
This time, it's going in the other direction. US News and World Report's Washington Whispers column passes on this entertainment news:
Usually Hollywood borrows from Washington for on-screen drama, but now studios and stars are using cutthroat political campaign strategies to win the Oscar. The latest twist: Washington-trained campaign strategists have been hired for the battle for best actress. Insiders say they're involved in a vicious whispering, E-mail, and rumor campaign to help--or sink--Hilary Swank, star of Warner Bros.' Million Dollar Baby, and Annette Bening, star of Sony's Being Julia. It's so hot, said one consultant, that the attacks could lead to a surprise winner.Is there a point at which the politicization of America goes too far? If the answer is yes, is this that point?
