How did he manage to fit the award ceremony into his busy schedule of having sex with beautiful models? ...Probably with a spreadsheet, now I think about it.

I find it stunning that some people are so intelligent. Excel isn't merely a matter of memorizing rules and lots of practice/experience. You truly have to be sharp as hell to get on this kinda level.
