This is not a political event, it's an industry award ceremony. They have actually tried for years to keep politics out of it. And for good reason -- every time some celebrity gets up there and gives a political speach half the nation turns the channel.

Again, not a single President or First lady in HISTORY has ever handed out an award. Not one. It's never happened. So people asking what she was doing there is not exactly surprising. It's the Oscars, not the MTV People's Choice awards.

What's next? Is she gonna show up at the Tony's? Maybe make a surprise appearance on stage singing and dancing with the cast of Cats? This is practically beggng for a Saturday Night Live skit: Michelle Obama popping up in random places to grab some face time-- you just can't keep her away.
