Michael Caine is 75.

AND AWESOME. Seriously, the man is fugging brilliant.

But can anyone explain his 1999 Oscar? And stop all his movies from being remade?

happy birthday michael caine!!!

one of my very favorites. :) I have no idea how he got that Oscar in '99 (the worst of the nominees by miles) but his speech was absolutely fantastic and his win in '86 was not a travesty and he should have won all the way back in friggin' 1964, so we will excuse him. Anyway, in 2006 he proved he still rocks with The Prestige and Children of Men, and is it totally wrong that I want to see the approximately sixteen thousandth remake of his career with Sleuth in 2008 (that said - why does Jude Law keep getting his old parts? Jude Law is ten quadjillion times hotter than Michael Caine ever was)?

Yay Michael! May you live another 72 years.
