      I also propose Jaime Lee Curtis last year, definitely felt more like a lifetime achievement oscar than that particular role

      I think the thousands of people in the Academy who vote on these movies probably beg to differ with your assessment of how the awards get handed out.

        And kids in high school will tell you they voted for the person the would make the best class president…
