An Oscar long overdue

"After Driving Miss Daisy, I became philosophical about the Oscar. It occurred to me that winning the nomination is probably the height of it. It's about as far as you can really reasonably go. And after that, it's pretty arbitrary, you know, because, I mean, how can any of us be best? Who can? But when they call your name, all of that goes out the window."
- Morgan Freeman, after winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor last night for Million Dollar Baby.

FINALLY.

As far as I know, and from this website dated 22nd February, "Travolta has twice been nominated for the best actor Oscar -- for 1977's 'Saturday Night Fever' and 1994's 'Pulp Fiction'" and nothing else.
