Stupid bitch, it is not her place to make comments like that.

Surprised she wasn't booed.

Imagine Dick turned up on the set of Brothers and Sisters telling her she needed some botox if she wanted to stay in the industry.

It is not her place, end of.

Sally! You forgot to say God Bless America!!! And that ONLY in America would you see the next day giving a speech against your leader. Like for example if you lived in Saddam times–he would hang you by your feet and let his army "work you out"!! Tell Sean Penn we said hello!!

That's bullshit. Muslim women blow themselves up with their babies all the time..some while pregnant even. We are fighting a war with people who do not value their own lives.
stefanie says – reply to this

32

it's not like they even bleeped the actors when they were trying to censor what they said… they just went to a weird camera angle that showed part of the ceiling structure… it was so disruptive. and cheers to sally field. even though they blocked part of what she said, I could tell where she was going.

Moron.
Jennifer says – reply to this

ironic that she was talking about being a good mother and being so proud of being a mother and then uses "god-damn" on TV. She's old and weird.

bob, are you one of those red neck trailer park living, numb nuts who think it's right to drop bombs on people? A majority of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia but some how we are in Iraq, you proably think Bush cares about you, he doesn't care about those ididots going to fight in Iraq beause they are poor and this is their ony way to support their families.
dixiegirl says – reply to this

49

That's a pretty dumb comment.

Sally Field must have forgotten that NOTHING will get in a mother's way when she has to protect her children. Also, the old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is so freakin' true. She couldn't be more wrong.

Now what she should have said is "If LIBERAL mothers ruled there world there wouldn't be any JUSTICE againtst those who wish to hurt us."
DUH says – reply to this

Let's not make this political, you dumbasses. You simply cannot say "goddamn " on t.v.

“If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any god-damned wars in the first place.”

Uh…..WRONG! STFU! Awards shows are NOT the place to air your political views.

It wasn't bleeped in Canada…. interesting. More proof that American's are totally being manipulated.
mike says – reply to this

53

i was wondering what she said. i wasn't looking at the tv when it happened but i was listening and i figured she made a war-related comment and they censored it.

it wasn't that profound or offensive, actually. maybe this is why the emmys are so unforgivably boring.
kristian says – reply to this

and what has that got to do with the prize that she won? sounds so naive and stupid.

Seeing that my husband is a Marine and currently over in Iraq for the third time, she can just kiss my ass! I love how these actors get to make their acceptance speeches their platforms for shit like this!

Celebs should shut up with it comes to the war or politics in general. Most of them are morons anyway and only say and do things for attention.
jesse says – reply to this

65

It doesn't matter who we are, we all have a responsibility to speak up and against this atrocity that's taking place in Iraq. Please don't tell me that it's for freedom and blah blah, how would you like it if troops invaded America and there was no security, bombs and murders took place everyday.
jenand says – reply to this

66

Whatever, all the mom's I know are constantly at war with eachother. We can't even make it through an hour at the playground without a fight let alone all the major stuff in life. Mothers are very passionate and MEAN! And the censored it because she said "God-Damned" not because of what she said

I'm sorry only American media would censor that!!! I love living in Britain.

Re: usmcwife – Thank God for men and women with the heart and courage your husband has to protect all of us, even the idiot celebs that want to talk about something they have no clue about.

Well, Sal, I'm a mom and there'd sure as hell be wars if I was in charge. I suppose you'd let that little man from Iran order you to wear a berka and forbid you to drive a car. Well, at least there'd be no war. How naive…sorry, I value freedom over peace anyday.

it aired in Australia!! tee hee… go sally!!
Laura says – reply to this

71

And why was it censored? Oh yeah, because in USA saying openly that we are against stupid Bush who sent out thousands of soldiers to death in Iraq…for what? For oil…I mean, for democracy…..
This is ridiculous, destroying lifes of hundred of thousands of civilians, as well as thousands of GIs. Someone should put an end to this!

Seriously!
It's Sally Field! Bleeping her is just wrong! She was the Flying Fucking Nun!

She is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. She actually saved me from the NYPD once. Love her for stopping that from becoming a un needed notch on my resume!

Thank you Sally Field for your amazing words!

BROVO!

That's a pretty DUMB comment.

Sally Field must have forgotten that NOTHING will get in a mother's way when she has to protect her children. Also, the old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scored" couldn't be more accurate.

Now what she should have said is "If LIBERAL mothers ruled the world there wouldn't be any JUSTICE against those who wish to hurt us".

Re: usmcwife –
your husband doesn't have much of a brain, what will the neighbours think when he comes back and off his entire family! We are damaging these soilders mentally, emotionally etc, more soilders are committing suicide than any time in history get a fucking clue, when your husband kills you and your family no one should protest

It's an entertainment show and no one gives a sh*t what she thinks. Just act.

81

Definitely, all women should rule the world and have their big jobs and put all of their neglected children in day care centers so they can be herded around like the animals that they are all turning out to be because their mothers are not there to love them and take care of them. I am a mother and i am sick of my children having to put up with the crap that people are raising these days.. Mothers, make some sacrafices, give up the big suv, vacations and clothing, stay home and love your children.

TO SALLY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE IN AMERICA (AND REMEMBER YOU ELECTED THE FOLKS WHO ARE IN CHARGE): IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. I PROMISE THAT NO ONE WILL BEG YOU TO STAY IN AMERICA.

IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL RIGHTS YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Are you kidding? Honestly, im not siding with the guys, but i dont really think a woman could "rule the world" If anything we'd get pissed off quicker if we have pms and are craving 3 muskateers bars and DONT HAVE ANY! lol
The guys are doin' fine. If we pull out now, many more people would die than they are now. so.. GO BUSH!

its shit like this that proves America is turning into a dictatorship. You media is being censored, when Putin does this in Russia the American goverment chastises it, but then they do it to their own people. If i was in America now i would be making a serious fuss about this.
jesse says – reply to this

93

Why are people so fucking stupid, only one member of congress has a child in Iraq!The reason is that they are smart enough to not enlist in the army, even if they have enlisted they wouldn't go to a war zone so that Dick Cheney and Bush can benefit from all the sacrifice.

What gives her the authority to make a statement about war…do these dolts have any idea how dangerous the world is right now??? SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP.

Re: Emdub –
I believe that the right to freedom of speech gives Sally the ability to make comments about whatever she wants; just as it gives you the right to make yours.
You do know that the comments she made are relative to the character she plays on the show, right? Or have you ever watched the show? She's a phenomenal talent, smart woman and I agree with her 100%. Mothers would never choose to send their children off to die…

i thought she acted like a POMPOUS ASS–after they called her name—she totally ignored her son and made a bee line for the stage like a rabid dog—couldn't wait to start blabbering away—when the audience interrupted her with applause she told them to shut up. at least she forgot what she was going to say and looked like a dumb ass—-stupid narcissist.

Amanda Bynes' Poor Mental Health To Blame For Drug Problems!? Parents Want Her In Hospital, NOT Rehab!

It's been one hell of an eventful evening/morning for former charming actress Amanda Bynes -- a drug related arrest, overnight stay in a holding cell, courthouse hearing -- but now the question is...

What would be the best possible option for the retired star so that something like this doesn't happen again? She seems to like her drugs, but is Amanda's substance abuse just an indicator of more serious mental health issues?

Well, that's apparently what her parents believe! Rather than have her sent off to a rehab facility, Amanda's mom and pops Lynn and Rick reportedly believe their daughter should be in a psychiatric hospital... like NOW.

One alleged insider reveals:
