Alan Bates lost the Academy Award to Cliff Robertson for Charly. Alan Arkin also lost as well as Ron Moody for “Fagen” in Oliver Twist as did Peter O’Toole.

I think that Trudeau’s little gaff is going to be his undoing. You can’t have a world leader who is obtuse enough to make a mistake like that – it’s just too embarrassing – and you just know it won’t be the last time it happens. He’s more Margaret than he is Pierre. I think he’s finished…
