"Oscar is boring. It lasts forever. And don't think you're seeing spontaneous behavior. You see couples who are suddenly smooching, and, well, there's a guy sitting on the ground with the camera at their knees," showbizspy.com quoted the 74-year-old as saying.

"There was one particular time I knew I wasn't going to win, and when they'd train the camera on me as one of the losers, I wanted to be able to rip open my tuxedo shirt and just have stenciled on my chest, 'Oh, (bleep)!' But my wife wouldn't let me do it," he added.
