, the Producers Guild Awards, the Writers Guild Awards or any other contest, they are invariably cited as a guide as to who will win at the Academy Awards.Why are they called the Oscars? Nobody knows for sure, with the standard story being that the Academy librarian of the 1930s, Margaret Herrick, said the statuette looked like her uncle Oscar. This may sound lame, but none of the other explanations are any more convincing.
Finally, and most notoriously, in 1973, Marlon Brando – who had won Best Actor for playing Don Corleone in– sent a native Indian woman, Sacheen Littlefeather, to decline the award on his behalf and deliver a 15-page speech. The speech was never given, and presenter Roger Moore ended up taking the unwanted statuette home, from where it was retrieved by the Academy years later.
Couldn't care less who wins what but I will bet my left nut that there will be 2 hours of white bashing disguised as the need for equality.
