Elvis on Free Speech at the Oscars

The Associated Press asks: Does politics belong at the Oscars?

"They're contained in all of us, aren't they? I suppose it's up to the conscience of the individual whether they take the moment of attention to say something other than 'Thank you.' It celebrates free speech. I don't think it should be suppressed and I certainly don't think there should be any delay on the broadcast because it invites censorship, which is not healthy." -- Elvis Costello, original song nominee."
