When I hear "Oscar" I think of Oscar Madison. I googled "Oscar" and discovered the show is now called The Oscars as shorthand for The Academy Awards. The last time I watched any of it was when Patty Duke muddled her acceptance speech in 1970. I quit watching all but a very few new movies years ago as they misportrayed reality to such an extent that I found it upsetting, especially when I realized I was paying to watch such trash.
