Geez, nobody wanted to pick up his own award for that picture.
Yes, George C. Scott famously declined his Oscar but it was delivered to him and less famously, he never returned it. So...
I'll admit I'm projecting... but I'm hoping Steve and Jeanne got it on.
Was McQueen there for "Towering Inferno"? Probably one of his worse flick...
This was 3 years before the Oscars threw credibility out the window and gave Fred Astaire a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for looking good in a tux before getting drenched next to Gregory Sierra in Towering Inferno.
Fred, it's true Astaire was nominated but rest assured, Robert DeNiro won for the role of the young Vito Corleone in The Godfather, Part II.
This was one of President Richard Nixon's favorite films. He had his own print, and would often watch it in the White House, particularly before having to make an important military decisions in Vietnam and Cambodia.
