Academy Awards 2002 Report 
» Actress Halle Berry was given the Best Actress award after threatening
to commit suicide on stage. Just as the envelope was about to be opened, Berry jumped
on stage with a knife and threatened to slit her wrist if she wasn't given an Oscar.
The clearly-deranged actress screamed, "I swear to God I'll do it if you don't give
me that thing!!" This was the second time recently that Berry has threatened to harm herself
at an awards ceremony -- in February, she was given a Screen Actors Guild award after
threatening Meryl Streep with a live hand grenade.
» America's Redneck community is up in arms after the Academy gave the two top acting awards to African-Americans, continuing its long-term snub of Redneck-Americans. The lack of Redneck representation was especially poignant on the night the Academy also honored Sidney Poitier with a lifetime achievement award. Boycotting the Oscars this year is the Redneck Actor's Equity Foundation, an organization whose goal is to increase the screen time of corpulent, drawling, mouth-breathing performers descended from angry, poor white people. The foundation began its protest campaign after original Oscars host Jeff Foxworthy was replaced at the last minute by Whoopi Goldberg. » Oscar fans watched in horror as host Whoopi Goldberg donned a corset. Several people fainted and were treated by paramedics. » Double-sided tape won the combined "Special Effects/Best Costume" Oscar. 
» Long-time Oscar favorite Alfred E. Neuman took home two
more of the little golden men Sunday, for the film Spy vs. Spy, which
he wrote, directed and produced. Asked if he was concerned about having to
top this, Newman said, "What? Me worry?"
