I arrived in Hollywood twenty pounds overweight and as strong as an ox.

Mentally, he's as strong as an ox.

That is why the ox has to be strong, and its handler too.

He's overweight, yes, but he's in great shape, he's strong.

All you need is a bad angle and suddenly you're 30 pounds overweight.

There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It's a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.
