   Peter O’Toole got an “honorary” Oscar recognizing his life’s work, but not for any particular film. But there are many who won undeserved Oscars out of recognition that they’d been snubbed in previous years for better roles/performances in better movies: Paul Newman (for Color of Money), Judi Dench (for Shakespeare in Love: great movie, but she had only 8 minutes of screen time in it), Liz Taylor (Butterfield 8), Leo DiCaprio (the Revenant), Will Smith (King Richard). Probably a lot more.

   Way better than the original answers: "Boo"berry pie, “Go to the Moo-vies,” and “It likes to chew chew.”

    @SammySnyder, @UncleJoe is right. The debt is bumping up against the ceiling now because of past actions, including not only past spending decisions, but a catastrophic and irresponsible tax cut the Republicans gleefully passed during the Trump administration.
