When Oscars had class, but the countdown to today's crap had started.
At the 1978 Oscars, Vanessa Redgrave used her acceptance speech to attack Jews using the term “Zionist hoodlums”.
Just after, Paddy Chayefsky, WWII veteran, takes the stage after winning an Oscar for “Network”
Or to quote from the movie he got the Oscar for Best Screenplay that year.
"Shutup, monkey, and dance!"
Oscars? That's the plural of Felix Ungar's roommate, correct?
