This would suggest that the Oscars are awarded via some sort of merit system rather than being given out on the basis of "Gifts" to the judges and an attempt to make some kind of lame political statement (Ian Mackellen was seriously upset they chose the year he was nominated to make the statement of giving a gong to a black rather than a gay by all accounts) and that anyone outside America pays that much attention to them, beyond seeing what ludicrous dresses everyone turns up in.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
