Diversity means giving those that don't deserve anything just because they're black or are unqualified for that which is offered to anyone.
Peter O'Toole
In 2003, O’Toole became the first person to decline an honorary Oscar. Over a 44-year period, he was nominated for best actor eight times and never won. He wrote a letter to the Academy that said, “I am still in the game and might win the lovely bugger outright. Would the Academy please defer the honor until I am 80?”
After the Academy president informed him that Paul Newman and Henry Fonda won after receiving the honorary Oscar, O’Toole gave in and accepted the award at the 2003 ceremony.
