Acting is a zero-skill profession

I strongly disagree with that. A good actor can make it appear effortless though.

So can the actor saying the same line a hundred different times in front of a green screen to produce raw material for editing and cleansing, frame by frame. Every single thing you see in a Hollywood movie is artificial, fake a dozen times over.

To act is to play pretend. The most shameless are the best. (In fairness to you, anon, yes, an Olivier has acting chops that an Adam Sandler won't ever have.)

Perhaps also in fairness I might rather have used "zero-value". For centuries, actors were (correctly) viewed as society's dregs, people with no useful skills; the latter remains unchanged. The status change is unfortunate.

No one claims Jussie is a good actor. Also what he attempted to do, was write a screen play and direct, and act at the same time. It didn't turn out so well.

Just checked winners so far. Best supporting actor and actress are done, and niggered.
