Lot of talk about how George Clooney said he was proud to be a member of the Academy that voted Hattie McDaniel an Oscar in 1939 when blacks were forced to sit in the backs of buses. Um, George? As Michael Musto reminded me in the Village Voice, McDaniel had to sit in the back at the Oscar ceremony where she won her award at a little table with just her and her escort. Plus, it’s worth remembering she won for playing a slave who just loved being a slave. Still proud, George? (Hat tip: Walter B.)
