The Ceremony is now Live!
Presentation Speech
Huh? Why in the world was Will Smith and his wife invited to the Nobel Peace Prize dinner and to be in the parade? It seems everything these days has turned into a Hollywood star-studded event.
In the Kongehuset article it says that Crown Prince Haakon and Princess MM will also be in attendance at the Nobel Banquet tonight.
The Royal couple first attended the Banquet in 2006 (when Queen Sofia was invited, too). It's great to see the Crown Princely couple being invited now, too.
Gosh, I'm not sure who I'm more tired of. The president or his wife. They both annoy me. But now that I think about it, I think she annoys me far more than the president.[...]
It is way to early for the president to get such a prestegious award and every time I see this couple, I can't help but feel that they are in it just for the perks of having the "celebrity status", because as far as I can see, he has not done anything of merit since he has been in office, even though it's for such a short time.
i'm also quite sceptical as to the reasons behind choosing obama as a nobel price winner. inspirational and forward-thinking, yes. the person who "has done the most for universal peace"? sorry, but no. come on, he just presented his new militar plan for afganistan! even myself, without extensive knowledge of american politics, will know the uncompatibility with a nobel price. i'm not sure what the panel was thinking this year. i hope you don't get me wrong, i like obama and i think he has done good things (or tried to at least) but all he has done just now in terms of "universal peace" is simply plans. to equal him to the level of how "Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King" changed the world does not seem right.
regarding michelle, i'm not sure why for such important ocassions she chooses such horrible outfits. her inauguration outfit was unbecoming to say the least and this is not better. to me, it's plain tacky. what an awful colour. it's a shame because sometimes i really love her choices but she seems to always get it wrong for big events.
MM seems such an emotional person, did she cry during obama's speech? i believe she cried one of the past years also.
could someone explain what's the reason behind will smith and his wife hosting the nobel price concert? is it normal that celebrities do this?
