    By George I think you've cracked it!

    I think the general concensious is that to win an oscar you should play someone with a disability. But then that didn't help Sean Penn a few years ago in I Am Sam.

    I don't like horses, they scare the sh*t out of me.

    A disabled horse? That's something I'd pay good money to watch for 90mins.

    A lot of movies with someone overcoming a disability or other such problem to achieve success get nominated for Oscars.

    "Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man. Looked Retarded. Acted Retarded. NOT retarded. He could count toothpicks, cheat at cards. Autistic. Sure. NOT retarded. Tom Hanks' Forest Gump. Slow? Yes. Retarded? Maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon, and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded! Peter Sellers, "Being There", infantile? Yes. Retarded? No.

    You went full retarded man. You never go full retard.

    Don't believe me? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, I am Sam. Went full retard. Went home empty handed."
