Awards Shows
Seacrest & "Slumdog" -- Lost in Translation

Ryan Seacrest just interviewed the kids from "Slumdog Millionaire." It might have gone a little better if he prepped himself on their names first ... and knew they didn't all speak English.

5. Attractive, poised little kids. It's remarkable considering this is all new to them.

9. It got even better when the other half of this "dynamic" duo Julianne called the kids "delicious". Weird!

12. That just looked so ignorant. I liked him before, but don't have any respect for him, would it have taken such a massive effort to try and remember, or ask 1 of them their names? So glad Angelina blanked him!!

13. 1. Not introducing the kids without even a half-hearted attempt to give the actors that small gesture of respect = FAIL of immense cultural insensitivity.
2. Holding up a piece of paper with small writing in order to show his audience the childrens' names = FAIL of immense stupidity.
3. Attempting to have the group shout their names out all together, at the same time, instead of allowing them to take turns introducing themselves = FAIL of immense ridiculousness and disrespect.
4. Although one child didn't speak English, the others did. In fact, their grasp of and use of the English language is likely much more proper than Seacrest could ever aspire for himself. To say "She speaks good English" = FAIL of immense ignorance.
