Agreed 100%. Too many stars today look for an Oscar (and any other award) as a matter of prestige for their career, instead of a simple acknowledgement of their craft. Well said Rory. Well said.

I'm often moved by the tragedy of Hollywood, the countless dedication of her minions, the tireless years of ones life exchanged for a glimpse of fame, fortune, and that giant sign that has hypnotized many a lost soul. Patricia Neal was a classic star who possessed a silent intensity behind her eyes, an inner struggle that translated well on-camera. She won awards when they mattered more, I think, when the craft was the award and the award merely a reminder you made a mark and people noticed.
