I, for one, am thrilled that he was finally honored, and for such a marvelous performance as Little Miss Sunshine, too. I think he's long paid his dues and was deserving of that Oscar. It's sad they didn't see fit to honor Peter O'Toole as well.
However, I also agree that he needs to come back to Broadway, but why should he necessarily step into a role? There must be something new or a revival of something he could do. I'm sure he's perfectly happy making movies, though. He hasn't worked onstage for a long time, as far as I know.
I'll never forget the first time I saw Wait Until Dark. They actually turned off the exit lights so that last scene, where he stalks Audrey Hepburn was really dark. It was really scary, but then, I was about 15 when I saw it.
