In a 8.1 piece called "Gold Derby Meets Roller Derby," Awards Daily's Ryan Adams slammed The Envelope's Tom O'Neil for his diva-behavior piece on Frozen River's Melissa Leo. It ran 260 words. This morning (8.2) O'Neil responded with a shoot-back ("Awards Daily makes an assassination attempt on Gold Derby! Is This War?") and a windy defense of himself and his professional rep. It ran about 2000 words.

Here is the choice before us: Tom O'Neill or Herbert Gold. O'Neill or Gold. Gold or O'Neill.

For the sake of our planet and our children's children, people, wake up and realize the choice before you!

Senor Welles, unless you are too busy at kitten obedience school, I expect to see you at Book Soup at four pm on Sunday as you embody beat chic in all its love and squalor.

And I mean that in a nice way.

Yikes. What a crybaby meltdown by O'Neill. The guy understands nothing about cinema and has terrible taste in current films. I reach for the remote evertime his Max Headroom mug pops up on the tube. Clicking on that link marks the first time I've been to his site in years.

Truly embarrassing stuff! This guy's going to feel like such an idiot tomorrow, if he doesn't already.

Tom needs a slap, and a hug, and a tranquiliser, and a gag.

O'Neil needs to get laid by something other than a fleshlight.

Good one, Nick.

I'm just shocked anyone could imply that Melissa Leo, of all people, is a diva.

Last I read Mr ONeil also worked for the trashy tabloid In Touch. (Which he did not list.) Maybe he learned from the trash tab that there is no need to be accurate just sensational.

It took a while, but this trumped-up controversy finally has its first genuine diva fit.
