nice tux, though

George Clooney:

"I would say that we're a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. It's probably a good thing. We're the ones who talked about AIDS when it was just being whispered, and we talked about civil rights when it wasn't really popular. This academy, this group of people, gave Hattie McDaniel an Oscar (best supporting actress, Gone With the Wind) in 1939 when blacks were still sitting in the backs of theaters.

"I'm proud to be a part of this academy. I'm proud to be a part of this community. I'm proud to be out of touch."

Not Quite. I think the point you wanted to make, Mr. Clooney, is that being on the side of human rights and human dignity is in the mainstream. Hollywood is in touch—it’s the other guys who are out of touch.
