Emmy winner Julianne Moore gets validation for playing PalinIt took a behind-the-scenes village to transform Julianne Moore into Sarah Palin for the HBO movie "Game Change," and Moore thanked all of them as she took the Emmys stage Sunday night. The actress won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a miniseries or movie, and she told the audience that she felt "so validated since Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down." She also shared her gratitude for her dialect coach, "the amazing cast" and director Jay Roach, "who held my hand and guided me through." Roach then went on to pick up the Emmy for outstanding directing of a miniseries or movie, and congratulated "Game Change" script writer Danny Strong, who won the Emmy for outstanding writing of a miniseries or movie.

I was surprised that Tom Hanks was able to get Julianna out of rehab and sober enough to show up for the taping of this film. Did she have to have a telepromter with her lines on it to get through the scenes on a daily basis.
what rubbish and also could be considered libel
Sarha Palin is not the blame. With what she had to work with I think she did an awsome job. They wanted a game change and they got it. She was not qualified and she knew it when she accepted. All that being said, she, like moct politicians, is an opportunist. She rode this all the way to the bank. She is not to be underestimated, she will be back. Now she has the taste of Big money, she will want more. I mean why be Gov when you can give an hour speech and pocket a 100k or more, duh. Smart lady
Wow, Greg, now she doesn't have to defend herself against all the phony lawsuits filed against her as governor. And you know what, she got to save all the money she was putting out as well as the money Alaska was putting out to defend against the suits. As for all of you out there, calling her an imbecile and ignorant and unqualified, please point out how Obama was more qualified to hold the office then Palin. Please use facts and not opinion. It would help if you could provide sources. While you're at it, point out how Obama is more intelligent than Palin. Please use fact and provide sources. Something simple like, college records and GPA info, papers he's written and articles he's published. Should be easy for a genius like him. You should at least be able to find something he wrote for the Harvard Law review, right? By the way, other than people he knew can you actually prove he attended Occidental or Columbia? Just asking. As for Ms. Moore and the rest of the Hollywood brain trust, who are they to criticize as if they ever had a meaningful thought.
I'm not sure who's confused here....
GREG: First you say Palin is not to blame, then you give several reasons why she IS to blame. She took a job she KNEW she wasn't qualified for....etc.
Obama is more qualified than Palin because he can accurately answer questions about American history and policy. She came off as stupid and there's no getting around that. Sarah Palin is a punchline and nothing more. If she had been unattractive there is ZERO chance she would have been picked. End of story.
I found Moore's portrayal of Palin to be spot on. I guess it was just too real for Sarah Palin herself.
The real women know who they are Sarah Palin can change the world Moore can change nothing she just plays a real women on tv enough said .
you do know the world isn't flat...right? now lets get up to date. they have these things called televisions in which human beings can be transmitted onto your screen........long story short, she was on this invention sounding like a complete fool and you say she's a real woman. i think you two need to take a time out and do a little moose hunting and fishing. you might get lucky and catch a fish from russia while sitting on her porch. im sure you're an avid romney simpleton supporter
I'm a 'real' woman and I know all I need to know about Palin. She certainly has changed the world, she has given most of us many needed laughs, although none of them intentional.
Palin can't help it she's nuts and that's that
Julianne Moore. Yet another reason to loathe the Hollywood crowd. What a bunch of far left losers.
She is very deserving of an emmy. Sarah Palin is dumber than a bull scrotum. It's hard for someone as smart as Julianne Moore to act that stupid.
She did a decent job. She could have made it easier and just gotten a pre-shoot lobotomy, but she did it the hard way, she acted stupid.
Of course she deserves that Emmy. Can you imagine the amount of talent it takes to play a person that dumb on camera?
Am weary of the attention the media gives to the frequently uninformed, ignorant, and deeply biased Hollywood crowd. Who cares what they think about anything. Especially a far left looney like the lovely Ms. Moore.
Looks like you too are giving attention, imagine that.
What performance could a sleazy hollywood type devoid of ethics possibly give portraying a person of exceeding ethics and honor! Only one of lies and deceit.
Well said. Julianne Moore is nothing more than a sleazy hollywood pig
At least she didn't quit when the going got hard or cause someone to lose a presidency.
your dumb......
I think you mean that Palin is a bimbo who made a mockery of real female politicians and spit in the face of her own gender.
Hey Kansas1946, then you must receive LOTS of compliments
Sarah Palin not liking you is about the best compliment I can think of.
I 100% agree. Having Sarah Palin as a friend would make me lose ALL of the friends I have, and that would be devastating. I am extremely glad we live on the utmost extreme opposite ends of America.
Why don't all you ugly fat trolls get over Miss Sarah.
Sarah giving Julianne a thumbs down is akin to the men and women who got put on Nixon's enemies list. What an honor!
I am an attractive woman. That being said I am also intelligent. Sarah Palin is attractive but stupid. If men insist that female politicians are attractive at least pick one with a brain... Or would that be too much of a threat?
actors, stay behind your lying camera and only have 1 vote. stay out of politics
Ummm...Reagan was an actor, and his costar was a chimp. Ignorance knows no bounds for the right it appears...
She wouldn't have had a part to play with Sarah Palin!! And she could never be as beautiful or vibrant! The people behind this book / movie are cowards. They unsuccessfully ran the McCain campaign and can't admit their faults – their scapegoat is Sarah Palin. And I'm surprised Tom Hanks has such disdain for Ms. Palin that he produced this piece of trash. He's not the gentleman I thought he was.
bwahahah – I just love "usa's" indignation.
A fine comedy turn.
I actually thought the movie was very kind to Ms. Palin. It was no secret that she was way over her head in accepting the nomination for VP. The movie almost made you feel sorry for her. If she had only learned to keep her mouth shut...
Sarah Palin is a old joke, even the Republicans don't want her around during this time of crisis & despair for their party! Her and George should go on a world tour and talk about how great they are, it would be an awesome & funny comedy tour,
gawdammed i am an idiot
@usa, your post was a joke, right?
You are wonderful ! however fey and van camp my word what revolting women
'
there are a whole slew of avengers who want julianne. now she's got a mechanic owner in town who wants her...
go figure..never thought at my age the nice one could still win and this one wants marriage..oi vey. julianne..you still
got it...lol
i just turned 40...can't do a sleeze anymore-
Yeah, being voted winner by a bunch of other liberal Hollywood elites really validates her. That's like having only the 6 Avengers voting for best Avenger.
That would make you one of the Serpent Society?
Clearly, the Illuminati are involved.
i'd go with her..she's sweet. i'm 39..want to change my ways
Take a hike, America.
Julianne did a great job with the part and showed a balanced picture of Sarah Palin ... a personality with charismatic stage presence who can rev up a crowd, but also just happens to be dumber than a stump.
A great job!!! Please! Ms. Moore admitted herself that she did not spend one minute, not even 30 seconds with Sarah Palin. A lot of actors do that, to learn their character. But Ms. Moore did not. She just followed Tina Fey, CNN, MSNBC, The View, etc. to find out how to play her. Ms. Moore is a fake. She just wants to jump on that band wagon of Hollywood liberals who hate Sarah Palan, for some reason, I cannot figure!!!!! For God's sakes let it go. Sarah Palin did not make it to the VP house, she's not even in any political office, no threat to anyone. Democrats want to distract from what's really happening in America. So they just talk about ridiculous things, like Sarah Palin like she's some kind of terrorist we need to be afraid of. It's just a way to distract from the mess the last 4 years have been!!!!
NOW THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
julianne played the role and won–that's the name of the acting game.
I have a ton of respect for julianne, she knew she was going to receive alot of critiicism for this role and didn't care.. she also worked night and day on this project and now she is laughing at the press because the public voted for her. good for you girl!!!!
The public does not vote or have any input this is strictly Hollywood patting themselves on the back.
your just a jealous person -
and badly scripted.
Julianne Moore looks like an Atlantic cod fillet. Cold and lifeless. It is a very poor casting to portray a vibrant and charismatic Gov. Sarah Palin.
Besides it's a lousy movie because it is in fact a left wing inspired fraudulent narrative to take down Palin. But guess what? Palin lives!
If that's the case, why did Steve Schmidt & Nicole Wallace say the movie was factual? Don't you think they would actually know since they were on the McCain election team? Huh, Huh, you smarter than them? Not only that, one of the writers is a republican & one was a dem who traveled with the campaign. So smarty pants, what's your big answer for that?
Ahhhh..The tolerant liberals at it again.. America hating bunch of jealous losers.. She lives in your minds 24/7..hahahahahaha
Because she just won't go away! She's always there in your face. And I really don't think you want to really know what most of us think. Hey, maybe she could get a job on that Honey Boo Boo show. She'd fit right in with that family!
about this anymore.
baked in?
Jullianne Moore is a classless loser. The "movie" a piece of Obama propaganda, is filled with lies. I mean not a single thing in that POS is true:

Ah, I see we have a true Palin fan here! LOL! No, the movie was not a lie. Palin was not and still is not qualified to lead a dog show, let alone be VP. But Mitt Romney has her beat so you should take some solace from that.
Hahahaha! I couldn't agree with you more. Now the dog show part, she'd probably win for best b!tch in the show! She'd definitely deserve the blue ribbon there! lol
Boy,Gary P Jackson u sure a kissing her butt. U need to reference factual info., because the actual participants who worked with leech Palin, gave that accounts of her stupidity, so stop it claiming that you know otherwise.
i have a ton of respect for julianne, she knew she was going to receive alot of critiicism for this role and didn't care.. she also worked night and day on this project and now she is laughing at the press because the public voted for her. good for you girl!!!!
nothing more gratifying than seeing bonehead palin put in her place by moore....read later that she forgot to also thank tina fey and katie couric for their fine jobs in also exposing the style over substance of palin....and just to think: Palin was wanting to be VP of the USA...go figure.
oops..is a duplicate to post below...tried to delelte via 'report as abuse' ...so please editors remove this one posting...thanks.
great that julianne moore disse that twit palin....read later that she' forgotten to also thank tina fey and katie couric for helping out too...nothing more gratifying than seeing 3 intelligent women showing up a stupid single one trying to be VP of the USA.
its acting...the actor doesn't have to personally like who they are playing...it was a challenging part and she did it.
julianne played the role and won–that's the name of the acting game.
originally wasn't going to watch this movie, because I find Sarah Palin to be one of the most obnoxious women in America. After hearing Steve Schmidt & Nicole Wallace say how realistic & on point this movie is, I then watched it. For those of you who don't know who they are, Schmidt was McCain's top senior campaign manager & Wallace was Palin's handler. Because Wallace was so distraught over the selection of Palin and knowing how absolutely stupid she was, she didn't even vote in that election. That's believing in your candidate! For those of you that absolutely love Palin, watch the movie. That woman is not qualified to be anything in politics. Dumb as a brick comes to mind. She couldn't even make through her term as being Govenor She has always been a glory hound, and in it for the money. She had her 15 minutes of fame, but apparently didn't get the message, because there she is spouting her right wing hatred on Faux News all the time. So if you want to be a Palin groupie, it shows how totally ignorant you are when it actually comes to politics. This woman had no business running for VP, and ruined the McCain campaign. The facts are the facts, people. Do some research! Or better yet, watch this movie about your little hero. I'll bet John McCain wished they would have vetted her better, otherwise, he may have had a better chance of winning that election.
I watched the movie, too. I have always disliked Palin, too. The movie just reinforced my views of her. The McCain campaign really screwed up by bringing her in as VP. If they'd won, she probably would have quit the VP, too. Not enough glory, and definitely not enough money for her. She is a shallow, unprofessional, uneducated, and a completely annoying person. My wish for her is to go back to Alaska, and hopefully we never hear from her again.
I honestly don't know what McCain was thinking when he chose her. I think he would have won if it wasn't for her.
I didn't see the movie, but after reading your comment and me too, I would give it a shot.
won
Julianna called it as she saw it and as most Americans do..she played the role won an award and doesn't have to praise the idiot she portrayed in the movie.
didn't someone say something about "not hating women" tonight
he must have missed read the cue cards skipping over the real message 9,,,unless their republican... of course
Wow, liberals giving each other awards for destroying conservatives! That's NEVER happened before. Especially sad that Julianne Moore (who I used to like), gets recognition for doing her best imitation of a real, genuine person... whom she hates. What a strange achievement that is.
Yours has to be the dumbest post I've ever read. As we say in the south, "bless your heart!" Now, go get what's left of your life.
Wow, what will it take for folks on the Republican side, to understand, that the choice of SP, was not because of her intelligence, and knowledge of what is going on around her politically or otherwise. The actual people who were with Palin during that time were interviewed so that Julianne M. could get an actual since of the relationship she had with those in McCains camp could get her up to speed. U missed the point.. SP had mentioned that she didn't like JM portrail of her. JM at the emmys, was just responding to Palins hate, that regardless of what she said, she was convincing in that role. Stupidity is rampant by some of you. READ and resource b4 u respond next time.
The conservatives are doing a fine job of DESTROYING THEMSELVES....stop whining....jeezy creezy!!
Oh, please. The neo-cons don't need any help from libs in destroying themselves. They're doing a great job with no help from libs!
You're just jealous!
Kind of sad she has to open her emmy speech by saying a cut-down to Sarah Palin. She would not accepting the award with our her. HELLO. So ungrateful.
I know. Other actors who win awards for playing famous people will say nice things about the person they portrayed. For instance, Meryl Streep didn't agree with Margaret Thatcher politically, but she had the good sense to still give her credit for being an amazing woman. I guess Julianne Moore is too petty for that.
Aw gosh darnit...you GOP robot stepford wives just don't get it, do you? This woman was an imbecile...still is. Took her 5 colleges to graduate. Dumb and ignorant does not qualify you to be VP. She created all the fodder for Tina Fey and others to mock by being the moron she is everytime she opened her mouth. Also...no comparison to Margaret Thatcher...she was an intelligent, qualified politician...not some pretty piece of fluff to try to woo the women's vote...which is the ONLY reason Mc Cain picked her...and it backfired. So you betcha she is going to be slammed by everyone who has a brain for her lack of same.
You betcha! You are right on! She is a brainless piece of work. But you know, all those knowledgeable republicans just love her. It doesn't say much for them, now does it!
What did you want her to do? Thank Palin for being a CLUELESS DINGBAT?
Good one & so true! Sarah Palin is the sorriest excuse for a human being ever. She'd screw over anyone, including her own party, to make a fast buck. Look up the word opportunist in the dictionary, and see who's picture is there.
@Ann; too funny. So Ms. Moore was supposed to say something nice about Palin? What for? The only thing I find amazing about Sarah Palin is her ignorance and hatefulness. Perhaps Ms. Moore feels the same way?
