Loved it, very true and funny. The real Academy members would laugh and applaud if they heard it at the awards today.

Her exact quote, before she rejects the award (which they don't dare call "The Academy Awards"...it's called "The Awards Presentation Ceremony"...hah!) was: “I don’t suppose I’m the only one who’s had to *beep* her way to the top...” as the audience gasps, HORRIFIED! A classic moment in American/Israeli cinema!
