“When amateurs outperform professionals, there is something wrong with that profession”
That is why acting is not a profession. If a 9 year old girl(Tatum O’Neil) or a first time actor practicing physician(Dith Prang)can win the ultimate of awards, how difficult is that “profession”.
Well, if the Oscars were based on actual acting craft, members of the Royal Shakespeare Company would win every year. They are a popularity contest for insiders, not a professional award.
Many years ago it was easy for everyone to know who the best actors were without any awards, now I wonder if there are any good ones. :)
Or Cher.
