For the venerable Academy Awards (Sunday! Sunday!),
the Oscars are chosen by Academy members,
some of whom are said to be well past middle-age.

Academy Members Are Too Old

8> Bathrooms in new Kodak Theater have coin-op Depends machines.

7> Easily impressed with array of choices among “talkies.”

6> They actually care about Liza’s wedding to that gay guy.

5> Remember when Oscar was only *this* tall.

4> “Hey you kids! Get off my set!”

3> Modern editing techniques wreak havoc on their pacemakers.
