in

> "We are against the war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you,"
he

stage.

the

> (with a stunned-looking Chad Lowe in the background), a smiling Lou
Gossett
> Jr. and Martin Scorsese, who looked as if he were on the brink of
clapping.
> Harrison Ford was seen smiling, while Denzel Washington looked less
enthused
> as he thoughtfully pulled at his beard.

> Host Steve Martin made light of the speech later by telling the crowd that
> "Teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo."
