Where's George C. Scott when you need him?

In a recent article from IMDb, it was revealed that composer Ennio Morricone, famous for scoring such films as The Untouchables, Once Upon a Time in America, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, is actually unhappy that he'll be receiving an Honorary Oscar at this year's Academy Awards ceremony. And upon closer inspection of his rationale (as stated in the IMDb article), he makes less and less sense.

I say, if you're going to be unhappy about a nomination, do it the George C. Scott way: flat out refuse to accept a nomination or a win. Did we learn nothing from Scott's Oscar win for Patton?
