Filet mignon gets all the fancy reputation, but at the end of the day it's just a really expensive piece of beef that we've convinced ourselves is worth three times what you'd pay for a burger. Sure, it's tender and all, but a good burger has personality, flavor, and doesn't make you feel like you need to dress up just to eat it. Give most people the choice between a perfectly grilled burger and a $60 piece of beef that comes with three drops of fancy sauce artfully placed on the plate, and the burger wins every time.

Who's the only actor to win an Oscar for 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde"?

Pollard and Estelle Parsons their breakout roles. With all that talent on screen, it makes sense that the film earned ten Oscar nominations. But somehow it only took home two awards that night, including one for acting. Which actor was the only one to win an Oscar?
