Can you name the only two people whose parents each won an Oscar? (hint, they’re sisters).

Not Barack Obama? Seems he’s received every other award for doing nothing.

Anyone who watched the Philip Michael Thomas video would know that Mel Brooks achieved... EGOT.

From the EGOT winners page:

The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on the new hit show Miami Vice brought him instant fame, and he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years.[6][7] Thomas has never been nominated for any of the EGOT awards.

John Geilgud won a Grammy for some Shakespeare recitations. Might have to give that one a listen someday.

Thankfully, no. But don’t give them any ideas.

Even Dionne Warwick, who has 6 Grammys so far, had to do the Psychic Friends Network infomercials.

Gilligan? The skipper too?
The millionaire and his wife?
The movie star?
The Professor and Mary Ann?

I can’t watch fiction movies anymore. The phoniness is unbearable.

Many years ago I was friends with a film editor. He said he only really enjoyed watching documentaries. Now I know what he meant.

Are there any NEGOTs? With a Nobel Prize as well?

Often you can get plenty of fiction in a documentary, depending.

This was quite a few years ago, before the Left grabbed everything.

I’m fairly certain that Richard Burton referred to Sir John as the finest speaker of prose in the English language.

Here comes Rita Moreno, to remind us for the umpteenth time how Marlon Brando was head over heels crazy about her, at least back in the late 1940s!
