The recognition of Sandra Bullock as the worst and best Hollywood has to offer only serves to highlight the arbitrary nature of the Oscar system.

It is completely ridiculous to single out one performance as the best.

The habit of so many organizations giving out best of awards only serves to illustrate the neurotic tendencies and defective nature of our competitive culture.

My favorite actors of all time: George C. Scott and Marlo Brando.

Why? Because they rejected these stupid Oscar trophies.

According to a 1993 Entertainment Weekly report, Scott was sleeping at the time his win for portraying Gen. Patton was announced. That is so sweet!

The whole event is fake competition and Scott didn't feel like he was in competition with his fellow actors when he worked his craft.

I wish more actors would suck it up and reject this phony competition.

Of course, Brando rejected his award for political reasons, which is even better.
