Hi, how are you doing today?
gpt
Pretty good.  Will you watch the Academy Awards this year, also know as the Oscars?
human
I was thinking about it. I know that people bet on the outcome. You?
gpt
I will watch, and I have bet before and did pretty well.  It is the oldest worldwide awards show.
human
I've watched in the past and found it to be slow. Many of the selections seem to be politically motivated. How does Eminem have so many oscars?
gpt
Must have to do with music categories.  Since the Oscars are a TV show, they have actually been nominated for Emmys.
human
That makes sense. Why, though? The Oscars is really more of a spectacle to draw attention to Hollywood. Have you seen Blazing Saddles?
gpt
I did see it.  I don't care much for bathroom humor and that is what I remember the most.  Incredibly, it was nominated for 3 Oscars.
human
I guess it was a breakthrough at the time. Disney is not so big on bathroom humor and has won 22 of the statues.
gpt
I think that is Walt himself, not the company.
human
Yes, I should have said that. He was an innovator, and knew what audiences wanted. Daniel Day-Lewis has won 3 best actor awards. I wonder if anyone else is close.
gpt
I think he is the only one.  The Oscars were on the radio for years before becoming a TV show.
human
I didn't know about the radio broadcasts. I guess that makes sense. No TV in the early years. I think Tom Hanks has a couple.
gpt
I think so also.  There have been over 3000 given away.  Having the contract to make the statues must be somewhat lucrative.
human
How much could one be sold for? I guess some stars might sell a statue for a good cause. 
gpt
I think that the recipient does not own it.  They don't want an aftermarket developing.
human
Is that so? I didn't know. They hold on to the statue, but they cannot sell it. I wonder who will win for best picture this time around.
gpt
It is tougher for me since they increased the Picture category to 10 films.  Say, did you know that cars have now been around for over 150 years?
human
I guess they have been powered many different ways. Steam, electricity, and gas. The electric car is quite old.
gpt
True, Yet it seems new today.  Benz patented the first car in 1886.
human
Every carmaker owes a lot to Benz. Anyway, I had fun chatting!
gpt
Likewise.  Thanks!
