“Good Buddhists don’t worship Buddha, nor do they pray to him. He’s not a god. “
You are correct. I know several Chinese who believe in Buddhism as a way of life, and believe in Jesus as their savior. They say the two paths are in perfect concordance.

Accepting his Academy Award for

This may have been a figure of speech to avoid a lengthy explanation where one wasn't appropriate.
