Congrats to Julianne Moore - a beautiful progressive, pro-choice woman won the Emmy playing Palin

Absolutely stunning red head who I have been a fan of since she played Frannie on 'As the World Turns'

Julianne is also a big supporter of women's issues and has spoke at Planned Parenthood fundraisers.

And tonight she won an emmy for 'Game Change' the HBO movie based on Steve Schmidt's book about the McCain/Palin campaign. Ms. Moore, a progressive, pro-choice, pro-marriage equality woman was picked to play Sarah Palin.

MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, JULIANNE MOORE, GABRIELLE UNION, AND AMERICA FERRERA SUPPORT PLANNED PARENTHOOD ACTION FUND AT “PLAYING POLITICS WITH WOMEN’S HEALTH” EVENT

New York - Today award-winning actors and advocates Maggie Gyllenhaal, Julianne Moore, Gabrielle Union, and America Ferrera participated in a Planned Parenthood Action Fund special membership and media luncheon called “Playing Politics With Women’s Health: The 2012 Election and Why It Matters.” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV) also participated in the event; a panel discussion was moderated by Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour magazine.

Speaking to the audience, Cecile Richards said, “Women’s health will be a central issue in the next election, and women will determine the outcome of the election. It’s projected that 53 percent of voters in November will be women. Let’s celebrate that power – and use it.”

Gyllenhaal, who recently wrote a piece for Glamour magazine in support of Planned Parenthood, was joined on the panel by Julianne Moore, Gabrielle Union, and America Ferrera to discuss why this election is important to them personally, and to women across the nation.

"Wow, I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down," said Moore with a big grin.

Her performance was so wonderful--that it was difficult to watch.

I imagine that Palin didn't like the truth about herself revealed by a skilled actress who demonstrated what a revolting narcissist and idiot Palin is.

"Game Change" was written by John Halloman and Mark (right wing hack) Halperin. Schmidt was the source for a lot of the material.

Glad to see Julianne win...it's a very well done film.

Now how are the freepers reacting? Their diva finally won something.
