Hopefully, though, the Academy will see fit to honour him before he "shuffles off this mortal coil," though he still looks pretty hale and hearty!!!!!

She just brought her daytime antics to TV. She had a few, and I mean few, good jokes but that was it. Next year I hope they get someone to MC that knows what that means.

The only cure is either ignoring the sufferer or decapitation, grim either way.
