MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1962, George C. Scott turned down his Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in The Hustler, calling the awards “self-serving and meaningless.” He was the first actor to decline a nomination. Despite his rejection, the Academy decided to uphold the nomination, but he did not win the award. However, in 1971, he again denounced the awards, calling them a “meat parade,” but won the Best Actor Oscar, which he refused, for his performance in Patton. Scott died in 1999. Today we have the song Foxy Boxer by BEARSUIT from their new album, Oh:Io available Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records.
