All that glitters

Dustin Hoffman says being at the Academy Awards isn’t as glamorous as it looks. “It’s boring,” says the star of HBO’s “Luck” in Maxim’s March issue. “It lasts forever. And don’t think you’re seeing spontaneous behavior. You see couples who are suddenly smooching, and, well, there’s a guy sitting on the ground with the camera at their knees.” The Oscar-winner once mulled a plan to shock home viewers. “There was one particular time I knew I wasn’t going to win,” he says, “and when they’d train the camera on me as one of the losers, I wanted to be able to rip open my tuxedo shirt and just have stenciled on my chest, ‘Oh, [bleep]!’ But my wife wouldn’t let me do it.”
