This made me laugh until I cried and I needed that today. Video by Brian Reiss:

I didn’t make it past two and a half minutes. The short was giving me waking nightmares of the time I spent crewing performance art pieces in Santa Monica and West Hollywood. The horror…the horror…
dumb parody, movie was a lot better.
I’ve followed you for years Sasha (and never comment) and I am so happy that you were able to laugh and cry, the relief you must have felt! This season has been a tough one for us all, and that is just in reading your rage/frustration/disbelief. 🙂
The trick is not minding.
Please never stop doing what you do.
Somewhat cute, especially to those who are a little sour about their movie not making the award progress they wanted. I have a thick skin, so, “Ha, Ha”

“Still, there are perks. Every year, during the prime Oscars campaigning season from October to December, active members of the academy are feted at fabulous lunches and cocktail parties at some of the swankiest spots on both coasts.”
Indeed. Most people would give their left arm to be part of such inner circle socialization. Arlene Dahl is just bitching. Let us not forget that all AMPAS members get to see any movie FREE when they show their membership card in the LA and NYC areas. Or they get all those free DVDs in the mail just so they can view the films nominated. Jesus, that alone could add up to well over $250 a year for me. One word of advice Arlene: SHUT T.F. UP!
I stopped it after about a minute. It reminded me of cable access comedy.
I don’t remember a mincing blond in ARGO either. I guess you could say I hated it.

How is someone like Arlene Dahl or Mrs. Sidney Lumet even a member? 1,172 actors in the Academy. I feel like I could name 1,172 worthwhile working actors from the 1950s to today without hitting those two.
I don’t disagree with Dahl on the importance of the host, though.
Scott Feinberg: “A few seasons ago, I was sitting next to a guy who I asked about his favorite films,” says Feinberg. “And he said, ‘I liked “Avatar”; I didn’t like “The Foot Locker,” ’ meaning ‘The Hurt Locker.’ I think there should be voters who know the names of the films. The academy has some strange people.”
And a more dedicated older Academy member: “It’s been going on for years. Harvey Weinstein’s trying to buy ‘Silver Linings.’ Why not? Hats off to him — he did it for ‘The Artist.’ He has every right to do that; everyone else does — just not as well as him.”
“I don’t even know where this has been”. Sniff. “Oh now I do”.
Hilarious
The parodies this season have been particularly good. Lol.
I love a salted rim.
That was a hoot, eh?
How’d you think I got Donna Summer out of the Bay of Pigs?
Sasha, that satire made my day.
WE ARE FAMILY!
Too funny, eh?
