Portman at the Academy Awards on Feb. 27
Possible 2012 GOP Presidential contender and Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee was none too thrilled with Oscar-winning Best Actress Natalie Portman's acceptance speech at Sunday's Academy Awards, in which the engaged star of "Black Swan" mentioned her pregnancy. According to Media Matters (click for audio), Huckabee told syndicated radio host Michael Medved it's "troubling" to see people like "Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these children, and they're doing just fine,'" adding "it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock." During Portman's speech, she thanked fiancé Benjamin Millepied, "who choreographed the film, and has now given me my most important role of my life." Medved said that Millepied "didn't give her the most wonderful gift, which would be a wedding ring! And it just seems to me that sending that kind of message is problematic." Media Matters notes "Black Swan" is distributed by Fox News' sister company Fox Searchlight Pictures.
