He was right about John Wayne. He did NOT deserve to win for "True Grit". It's CLEARLY just a make up Oscar for the times they did not award him for "The Searchers", "Red River", "Stagecoach", etc.

Its probably because he is so real to so many on video--the people polled can't shake his memory. You may not like him--but, in that poll, john wayne shows up for decades on end. That's what you call a phenomenon.

Very interesting, it certainly shows the vibe of the times regarding the clash of old Hollywood vs the new Hollywood.

Listen to how people cheer for Midnight Cowboy and groan at Anne of the Thousand Days. This was the dawn of a new era in cinema

In retrospect, the other nominees in that category for Best Actor, among them Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, felt John Wayne deserved to win and that he gave the Best Performance of the five nominated. Personally, I felt it was one of the more deserving wins by an actor EVER! Rex Reed doesn't know everything. He did predict Maggie Smith to win and he was certainly right about that win, considering she was up against Jane Fonda and Liza Minnelli, who would have thought she had any chance.

It looks like he's saying something like "playing house other than with a child." I haven't seen the film so maybe he's referring to something in the film itself and is being sarcastic. I know there is a young girl in it and that's what he means when he says he's "playing house" with a child.

Johnny Carson took some heat but I always remember how he would let the guest talk and perform. His philosophy " Any laugh or applause my guest gets makes me look good !"

Reed was young in 1969. But he is 79 years old now. He was a horrible actor in the movie "Myra Breckenridge." Always priding himself for acerbic comments that he thought made him sound hip, his reviews degenerated into bullying over the years. He was denounced not too long ago for criticizing Mellisa McCarthy for being an overweight no-talent.

His predictions are so off, but I can see why he made them, back when things were more unpredictable and there were few precursors. He was right about John Wayne winning, though! And listen to that modern audience moaning at that! But also, it's not stupid for a foreign film to be up for both Foreign and Best Picture because obviously a foreign-language film would never win the main award anyway.
