"I keep up with the Oscars about as much as I keep up with the Miss America Pageant. I think it's a f--king dog and pony show. I never want another one of those f--king things. It's horses--t."

—Billy Bob Thornton, when asked about who he's rooting for come the Academy Awards (he won one for writing Slingblade, remember?). Jeez, B.B. sure was sweet on his Manure costar Téa Leoni when at Sundance, why the sudden sour switch about a silly little awards ceremony, huh? But God do we ever love honest people in Hollywood!
