I'm fine with it. As a matter of fact I'm so fine with it that I couldn't care less. I don't even give a flying fudge about any of those so-called "awards" shows. It's nothing more than the industry patting itself on the back. I like movies, but that's as far as it goes with me.

Big deal. These guys look at it as simply "Sunday".

This year's bag includes a $45,000 voucher for a South African safari for eight adults and eight children. "If George Clooney goes on the (safari) tour, that's amazing. After he's gone, you let the magazines know he was there, and then people want to go. It's got that celebrity seal of approval on it."

Sounds like a pretty damn good business plan if you ask me.
