Oscar is boring: Dustin Hoffman

Los Angeles: Hollywood veteran Dustin Hoffman says being at the Oscar ceremony isn`t as glamorous as it looks.

"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.
