And the Loser Isssss........
Hey, Jamie Foxx, buddy. You're an Academy Award winner. Do you have ANY idea how special that is, what an extraordinary honor it is, etc.? Well, let me tell you something there, my friend. It's pretty damn special. Greta Garbo - she never won one. Montgomery Clift never won one, either. Ditto, Deborah Kerr. In fact, this is just an abbreviated list of the extraordinary actors and actresses who've NEVER been honored in the manner that you've just so graciously been; Irene Dunne, William Powell, Rosalind Russell, Richard Burton, Barbara Stanwyck (perhaps the biggest injustice of all), Natalie Wood, Charlie Chaplin, Peter O'Toole, and Charles Boyer. A pretty impressive list, wouldn't you say?.....................................................................................Well, how 'bout this for a suggestion? In an attempt to honor these great actors and actresses, you, as an Academy Award WINNER, stop "acting" the part of an damn fool/ass-hole? I mean, yes, I know that you've already (sort of) apologized for that radio rant against Miley Cyrus and all. But, really, bro, you're supposedly a grown-up and, what, you're going around dissing 16 year-old kids now? I don't know, bro, I think that it just might be time for you to 1) grow up and 2) show at least a semblance of dignity here. And like I said before, me-bucko, if you wish not to do it for yourself....this time, then, yeah, do it for Charles Boyer.........................................................................................P.S. This, of course, isn't meant to imply that all of these non-winners were model citizens themselves. Clift and Burton, in particular, had some serious and life-long issues. But at least it was themselves that they tended to bring down, not young adolescent actresses.
