Academy Awards addict
"My name is Lewis Beale, and I am an Academy Awards addict.
"God help me, but it's only February and I'm already thinking about the 2007 Oscars. I just saw The Hoax, Lasse Hallstrom's film about the 1970s scandal involving author Clifford Irving, who claimed he had written Howard Hughes' 'autobiography.' Opening in April, the movie is a fun (if overlong) ride, but as the charming and utterly amoral Irving, Richard Gere gives a performance that, as I told one of my editors at another publication, is "Oscar-worthy."
"Someone, please -- organize an intervention. Is there some sort of Academy Awards 12-step program, or perhaps a Betty Ford Clinic for Oscar junkies?"

I think what Beale really needs is the old-fashioned cure to any problem like the one he has: a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Could Gere's performance be better than his in The Mothman Prophecies? I don't think so.

Who needs a twelve step program? Embrace the insanity. You're not the only one. I say the Academy Awards are my Super Bowl. Enjoy!
