Looking back at the Oscars ...
I am not the perpetrator of this (hi Mick!):
I will take this small golden statue, Oscar, and keep
it an as heirloom of my House and the heirs of my
body forever. It is precious to me, though I buy it
with great pain, of all the works of Hollywood the only fair.
When first I took it, the statue was hot with the heat
of its master, and it burned me like a klieg light so that
I think I shall never be free of the pain of it. Now it cools,
and the fiery words around its base begin to fade: "Best
Supporting Actor..."
