Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, to The 1st Annual One-Year Later Awards!
(Applause, Opening Celebratory Music plays briefy)
Thank you. Here, we are presenting Awards to movies one year after, they were released because we were too lazy to go see them in the theatre.
(Laughter)
Saying that, this means that instead of having to watch everything right away, we were able to digest all these films, at our own hurried, albeit leisurely pace, so as to be better informed enough of to make more decisive and thoughtful determinations of what was the best in cinema. In other words, we took our time. Also in other words, were here to correct everything the Oscars (Bleep)ed up!
(Laughter)
That's not true. I'm kidding, they might have gotten them right, I haven't opened the envelopes yet. I'm opening all the envelopes by the way. Because I'm the only one who showed up. Despite us nominating over 80 people for OYL Awards, none of them have showed up!
(Laughter)
There isn't even real laughter there, that's me typing the word laughter sadly into my computer, as though their was actual laughter, and as though this was an actual Awards ceremony.
(Laughter)
Yep, that's fake laughter. Kinda like what you hear when you're watching "Whitney".
(Laughter and boos)
Oh, like I'm wrong. Alright that was mean. Don't worry, we're not celebrating TV. We're celebrating film, great film. Of the ten Best Picture nominees, 7 were also nominated for Academy Awards, that's a good year. There's a lot of good performances, good films... Unfortunately we don't have an actual awards yet. We didn't come up a design yet. Since it's the OYL award, we thought of Olive Oyl from Popeye, but, it just turned out be a couple stick figure that were flat as a board. Yeah, we gonna call it the actress for awhile...,
(Cricket)
Wow, that joke didn't work. Alright, now I know when to stop telling jokes and put in a musical number next year.
(Laughter)
Now, I know when to start giving out the Awards, right now. Our first is for Best Supporting Actress, yep, starting with a big one right away. Here are the nine nominees.

(Laughter)
And you know, they frig it up, 'cause of there's way too many members for somebody to bribe. It wouldn't be effective. Not like the "Golden Globes," which are completely fixed.
(Laughter)
It's like 70 people voting, they all live in the same house, it's like "Dallas."

To write an original screenplay, you not only have to write, but you have to be a creative storyteller. To adapt a screenplay, all you have to do is write down what somebody else thought.
(Laughs)
I'm kidding. That's not true. Sometimes, adapting a story to a different medium can be incredibly difficult, and oftentimes harder that coming up with your own story. There's two different skills, and they're both being honored. There's seven nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay. The nominees are...

You have no idea how hard it was to find two photos of about the same size.
(Laughter)
You're just reading this now, and going "Oh, he's got two photos, there..." No, took for friggin' ever! Can't have one really big, can't be really small, should be side-by-side, should they be on top of each other-. It took for-ever!
(Laughter)
There's ten nominations for Best Actress, and the only reason for that is because that was the maximum amount of nominations allowed for the category.
