Patton

[Deane Johnson]

Indeed, this is a great and timeless movie and deserves the best possible presentation at all times.

Here's a bit more on George C. Scott's commentary on Oscars.

He returned the one he got for Patton saying he didn't consider himself in competition with other actors. I've never figured out exactly the meaning of that statement, whether he considered himself far above all other actors, or if he felt acting was not a competitive sport, but rather an achievement. I suspect the latter is what he meant.

He later said this about it: "The whole thing is a goddamn meat parade. I don't want any part of it."
