Kanye West, N.E.R.D., and Wyclef Jean have been added to the performance bill, promising a more lively ceremony than previous years (any politics-nerds remember Michael McDonald’s snooze-fest?).  Also in attendance will be Ed Norton (who’s shooting a documentary on Dem. candidate & future president Senator Barack Obama), Scarlett Johansson, Forest Whittaker, Warren Beatty, Annette Benning, and more.  West, who’s no stranger to political gruff (”George Bush does not like black people”) and Pharrell’s nerdy bunch has delved pretty serious into social criticism (”All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom” [referencing a rise in cocaine use among young Hollywood]).  I love it.

Be sure to check back next month for pictures & video from the Denver, CO event!
