Today’s Trivia Question in Honor of Emmy Week and courtesy of The Emmys, by Thomas O’Neil: True or False — While George C. Scott turned down his Oscar for Patton in 1971 saying the Oscars was nothing more than a popularity contest, he kept the Emmy he won the same year for a Hallmark Hall of Fame performance in The Price.  He said the television award was a far more honest indication of an actor’s work.
