IMO, handing out oscars doesn`t mean much either!

no where in my post did I allude to the popularity of Clint to bypass that of Jesus. Read the post again and you will see that I was alluding to the fact that he is in rare company as far as there has not been someone to exceed his excellence in "directing cinema" in the last 20 years. Hard to argue with the Best director and actor statues that he received for being someone who "really doesnt mean much these days"
