And, of course, in the greatest robbery in recent Oscar history, both in terms of Best Actor, and worse yet, in terms of Best Picture, I bring us back to 1994, when perhaps the most emotionally uplifting scenes in the history of cinema - one that would have made Jimmy Valvano proud - served as the perfect culmination to a masterpiece that will continued to be enjoyed by millions, centuries after the travesty of a "restaurant" that is Bubba Gump FINALLY closes its doors in Times Square to make room for an updated version of ShowWorld:
"I hope I make it across the border.
I hope to see my friend and shake his hand.
I hope The Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.
I hope."
