Diana Ossana just plagiarized a quote.
Diana Ossana just won the award for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. She said "the duty of art is to send light into the darkness of mens hearts" which is a quote from Robert Schumann without giving him credit. The original quote is "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist."

I wonder if anyone will take her to task for plagiarism.
