(Inside HULU Offices, CONAN O'BRIEN knocks on SARAH SILVERMAN's office door)
CONAN
Hey Sarah!
(Sarah looks up from her desk)
SARAH
Oh, hi Conan, what a nice surprise.
CONAN
I-uh, I called and told you, I was coming, remember.
SARAH
Right, that was you, wasn't it?
CONAN
Yeah, it was.
(Long pause)
SARAH
Well, come on in, sit down.
CONAN
Thanks.
(Conan enters and sits down)
SARAH
What did you want to talk about?
CONAN
Well, I'm sure you're aware that the OYL Awards are coming up.
SARAH
Oh, I've been nominated for twice for those; how many times were you nominated?
CONAN
(Uncomfortable pause)
Um,-, well, it doesn't matter, but word has it they're thinking about having a former host come back and host this year-
SARAH
I thought they had a host set this year?
CONAN
They did.
(FLASHBACK MONTAGE of ME making several announcements to the press)
ME
It's my privilege to announce that our host this year will be the former OYL Award Nominee as a member of the cast of "Margin Call", the great and beloved Kevin Spacey!
ME
I'm proud to announce that our new host, a past 2-time nominee as a member of the casts of "Blue Jasmine" and "American Hustle", the great Louis C.K.!
ME
It's our great honor to have the great Senator, Al Franken as our host.-
ME
Danny Masterson will host...-
ME
The great Jeffrey Tambor, has agreed to fill in as host...-
ME
The wonderful Singer-songwriter and former "The Voice" contestant Melanie Martinez will host this year...-
ME
(Talking off to side of podium)
I seriously can't believe the one random girl we picke-
(Realizing he's being caught by mike.)
Ah, yes, we're proud to announce that the great Dustin Hoffman, has stepped in-
ME
(Nervous)
Woody Al-, nevermind, we're not announcing a host today!
ME
Proud to announce former "Smallville" actress Allison Mack, will host the OYL Awards this year. And it will stay that way, unless she's apart of some secret sex cult or something.
ME
So, Allison Mack will no longer...-
(Holding in anger)
Um, be hosting the OYLs...-
(Montage ends)
CONAN
So yeah, the word is, they're looking to go back to a past host for this year's OYLs, and it sounds like we're the top candidates.
SARAH
Ah, I see.
CONAN
So, I came, 'cause-, I was hoping that, if they asked you, that you would host.
SARAH
You don't want to do it?
CONAN
Of course, nobody wants to host it, it's the OYLs,- but I promised them that if they were in a pinch I would do it again, if there was literally nobody else.
SARAH
Oh, so you want me to-
CONAN
Yeah, you do it this time, so I don't have to say yes.
SARAH
Not a problem Conan.
CONAN
Thank you.
SARAH
But, I do need you to do something for me first.
CONAN
I'll do anything you ask.
SARAH
That's what I was hoping you'd say.
(Sarah presses a button on her desk which slams her office door shut and closes the blinds.)
CONAN
(Long confused pause)
Do you have a button under your desk that does that?
SARAH
I have a lot of pull here. So, anyway, about those things I need you to do.....
(Sarah stands up.)
CONAN
Like what?
(Cut to outside her office, where Conan comes flying through Sarah's window headfirst, shattering the glass. ME walks past right as he starts getting up.)
ME
Conan? You okay?
CONAN
You need me to host?
ME
Uhhhh, well,-
CONAN
I'll do it.
ME
Okay, thank you.
(Conan runs off, exit screen left. I look at Sarah standing in her office.)
ME
Did something weird happen in here, Sarah?
SARAH
I don't know what happened, I just asked him to take a sculpting class with me.
ME
Is that all you asked?
SARAH
(Awkward pause)
I might've insinuated that "sculpting" meant anal.
ME
(Longer awkward pause)
You were trying to get out of hosting the OYLs by sexually harassing Conan weren't you?
SARAH
Worked like a charm too.
(Me shakes his head at Sarah. Dissolve fade to panning of Awards Show crowd, Drumroll starts)
ANNOUNCER
Welcome to the 7th Annual ONE-YEAR-LATER AWARDS!
(AUDIENCE claps as award show music plays)
Ladies and Gentlemen, our host for the OYL Awards, Conan O'Brien)
(AUDIENCE claps louder as Conan O'Brien enters stage right and approaches center stage, in his usual goody manner, with the familiar Conan mannerisms, highlighted with his signature string dance)
CONAN
Thank you. Welcome to the 7th Annual One-Year-Later Awards, an award taking place in 2018, that was supposed to take place in 2017, honoring and remembering the best of 2016; in other words, Welcome to 6th Circle of Hell!
(Laughter from audience)
Oh man, these last couple years. Seriously, it's like every day we wake up and say, "Oh, what new sweet Hell is this?!" But that's enough about Melania's life.
(Mix of laughs and disgruntled ooohs)
I love how some of the audience is cheering and the other half is like, "Oh, that's funny, but that's mean!" I mean, we have to talk about Trump, we don't want to, but he's competition now. Did you hear this? Yeah, Trump announced that he would giving out his own "Fake News Awards".
(Audience boos)
Yeah, can you believe it, he's creating his own awards. Amazingly, Trump found a way to give fake, stupid made-up awards shows where only one person votes and determines the winner, and done on a blog that nobody reads, a bad name.
(Audience laughs)
It's amazing. It's the literal equivalent of the Bottom of the Barrel going, "Well, at least I ain't that."
(Audience, kinda chuckles, but not really)
Let's get to the movies, shall we? Yes, 'cause this is a made-up awards show, and we're honoring the best in cinema, and anything that's an escape from reality deserves to be rewarded. 2016, was an interesting year for film. Interesting year for award shows too...
(Audience chuckles)
The one big question everybody's asking about the OYLs, how the hell did "La La Land" not get into Best Picture? "La La Land" is nominated for 12 OYLs and somehow did not get into Best Picture! It's almost like, they were trying to make sure, that "La La Land"'s name, couldn't be written in that last envelope at the end.
(Audience laughs)
Yeah, they're never gonna live that down. Speaking of that though, "Moonlight" set the record, 13 OYL Award nominations, including a record, 4 actors, nominated for Best Supporting Actor!
(Audience begins clappins)
Yes, cheer them on.
(Audience laughs more, audience shows the nominated actors)
"Moonlight" is a story of the life of a young African-American youth as he deals with his troubled, complicated life, as well as his hidden homosexuality. Little Richard called it, the best biopic ever made of him.
(Audience boos and then cheers)
What is that. Ahhhh, and then yeah, yeah, yeah, alright we'll cheer that!
(Conan ducks in front of camera as audience laught. He then rises making scary face in front of camera, getting laughs)
It's no surprise this year, if there was a theme among the nominees, there were a bunch of multiple nominations and nominees. Among the over 300 individual nominees, there are 42 people tonight nominated for at least two OYL Awards, including nine people who are nominated against themselves in a category, including Min-hee Kim, who's up for Best Actress for both "The Handmaiden" and "Right Now, Wrong Then"! Congratulations for that.
(Audience cheers on MIN-HEE KIM, as Conan spots her in the crowd)
Where are you, congratulations. Is is "Kim Min-hee" or "Min-hee Kim"? It's Kim-, what is it?
MIN-HEE
(Barely audible from crowd)
Kim Min-Hee!
CONAN
Which is the-, if we call you "Kim" will you answer?
MIN-HEE
(Nods)
Yes.
CONAN
Min-Hee is your given name, so it's supposed to come second, but- what is it, your surname?
MIN-HEE
Family name!?
CONAN
Family name. I see.
(Min-Hee nods).
Yeah, forgive us, we never know what to call any of you.
(Audience laughs, Min-hee shrugs)
MIN-HEE
It's okay.
Do you have that problem with us? Cause they bring the movies from Asia here and sometimes they Americanize the names and sometimes they don't and either way, we can't tell which is the proper way to put them together.
(Audience laughs)
Am I "O'Brien-san Conan" over there or something?
(Audience laughs)
MIN-HEE
You're Coco.
CONAN
I'm "Coco" in Korea!
(Audience laughs louder. Conan laughs in astonishment.)
CONAN
Oh man, I'm never gonna live Coco down, am I? Anyway, let's get to the Awards, alright. Alright, to present the inaugural OYL Award for Best Makeup & Hairstyling, he's a 5-time OYL Award nominee, including a nominee tonight for his Voiceover work for "I Am Not Your Negro", and he's the ultimate badass; ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Samuel L. Jackson!
(Samuel L. Jackson enters stage left, to applause from the Crowd as Awards Theme Music plays as he approaches the nearest podium, the one on the left side of the stage. Music fades out as he approaches. Conan)
SAMUEL
It's a honor to present the One-Year-Later for Makeup. Some of you may have noticed, but I always strive to have, a little different a look, for each film I'm in, and that's all intentional, and that's all from the makeup. To me, in order to be a little someone different, I have to first, look like someone else, and from there, I get the characters. Trust me, actors couldn't do this as well as we do, without the amazing craft and skill of the makeup artists and hairstyers. There are nine nominees for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and they are...
(On the big screen that makes up the back wall of the stage, a video montage of the nominees with pre-recorded vocals from the presenters plays.)

One by one, they collect their awards from Samuel, who's collecting them from the handlers to the side as they walk up. One they get it, they turn to the crowd center stage. A couple of them hold their OYL up over their head with one hand as they quickly mutter "Thanks" before being escorted by Samuel to exit stage right.)

ANNOUNCER
This is Gary Clark's first win and nomination.
(He gets up to the stage and Tove hands him his OYL. He shakes her hand, thanks her, and turns to the audience for a moment as they continue to applaud. Tove then leads him to exit stage left.)
An OYL Award winner last year for Best Supporting Actor for "99 Homes", Michael Shannon!
(MICHAEL SHANNON enters stage right passing Gary and Tove as he enters the stage and approaches the far right podium.)
MICHAEL
An ex-wife getting on with her life, a longtime wife having to put up with her husband's philandering and violent behavior, a drug addict mother who's barely able to care for herself, a young single mother who deals with a daughter who unexpectedly runs off, a rancher who seeks out a romance with a new friend, a wild teenage girl who's not seeking a romance with her best friend, a leader of a magazine sales group that's run like a prostitution ring, a servant who may or may not be falling in love with her heiress master, a latest new girlfriend tag-along on an island getaway, and a former vacation who struggles to leave the revolutionary resistance after falling in love. Ten of the most complex and fascinating characters we've seen on our movie screens this year, played by ten of the most talented and versatile actresses working today. Here are the nominees for Best Supporting Actress:

And the OYL Award goes to...
(Opens envelope. Slight pause.)
Hmm. Tae-Ri Kim, for "The Handmaiden".
(Jo Yeong-wook's song, "The Duchess Juliette" plays as a surprised Tae-Ri Kim stands up and walks towards the stage, as the audience, also surprised applauds)
ANNOUNCER
This is the first nomination and win for Tae-Ri Kim. She is the first person to win an OYL Award for her feature-length debut performance.
(Tae-Ri Kim reaches the stage. Michael hands her the OYL, she bows slightly and shakes Michael's hand before turning to the crowd, who give her an ovation. Michael then guides her as they both exit stage right. Conan's back on stage, holding a small envelope)
CONAN
So, right here in my hand, is the next award, it's for the Best Costume Design, but before we give that out, of course, after the Oscar fiasco last year, when they got the envelopes, everybody's been wondering and waiting to see what the next show's gonna do to spoof the moment, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway got the wrong card. Well, this year, the OYL Awards have decided to take some actions to make sure that nothing like that will happen, and we're gonna detail this. So, just like the Oscars, there are two entrances to the stage, from the left and the right, so there are two envelopes for each award, that are handed out, usually before the presenters come out. I'll hand this one to Elle Fanning when she comes out, but normally that's how it works. Those envelopes are, like the Oscars handed out, by the accountants, and I know what you're thinking, "Wait, the OYLs have accountants?"
(Slight audience laugh)
Actually they do. We know when you scroll down to the bottom of these awards, and there's a tag about the "In-House Accountants" of the website, which doesn't sound like it make sense, 'cause why would someone's entertainment blog have in-house accountants, but "David Baruffi's Entertainment Views and Reviews" actually has two accountants on staff. They're normally backstage at this show, handing out the envelopes, but we're gonna introduce them here, they're Michele and William. Accountants come on out for a second!
(Entering stage right, MICHELE and WILLIAM, the website's accountants come out onstage, to some surprise from the audience and some applause.)
Yes, applaud them, they have a tough low-paying job and this is their first perk in seven years.
(Audience laughs)
Anyway, you two are the ones responsible for counting the votes and providing the envelopes, correct?
(William and Michele nod yes)
Okay, now beforehand, there was always two envelopes for every category, but this year, there is only one, Best Picture envelope, correct?
(William and Michele nod yes, again.)
Yes. You two can talk if you want by the way.
(Audience and William and Michele laugh)
MICHELE
Thank you.
CONAN
Well, you don't have to thank me for that-,
(Audience laughs)
(In deeper comic voice)
Yes, thank you Master Conan, for giving us the power to use our voices.
(Audience laughs some more, Conan switches back to normal voice)
Anyway, if you don't mind, can you two go and get the Best Picture envelope from the back, and bring it here, on stage.
WILLIAM
(Out-of-microphone range)
Sure.
CONAN
Okay, good.
(William and Michele exit stage right)
You see, what we're going to do, is put the single, one, Best Picture envelope, on stage now, and it's going to stay onstage for the entire show, and I guarantee you, there is no way, this envelope is gonna to be confused for any other envelope, and we'll show you why.
(Looks offscreen)
Do they have the envelope? Okay, they're bringing it out now.
(William and Michele enter stage right, carrying a Publihser's Clearing House check-size envelope. Conan goes to help them direct the envelope centerstage, where just in front of the big-screen back wall, is a small stand on the ground where all three of them place the huge envelope. The audience laughs as all three carefully place the envelope on the stand)
Can you get it in, and make sure it's in-, wow this is heavy. I thought it was just big, but it's heavy too. Anyway, thank you you two, give William and Michele a hand for the envelope, hey!
(Audience applauds as William and Michele wave as they exit stage right.)
As you can see, this is a pretty hard envelope to confuse with the others.
(Audience laugh)
It's as big as we could get. It's plain white, with plain black text, which, as you can see, very clear says, "BEST PICTURE"
CONAN
Hey Sarah!
(Sarah looks up from her desk)
SARAH
Oh, hi Conan, what a nice surprise.
CONAN
I-uh, I called and told you, I was coming, remember.
SARAH
Right, that was you, wasn't it?
CONAN
Yeah, it was.
(Long pause)
SARAH
Well, come on in, sit down.
CONAN
Thanks.
(Conan enters and sits down)
SARAH
What did you want to talk about?
CONAN
Well, I'm sure you're aware that the OYL Awards are coming up.

ANNOUNCER
This is the first nomination and win for Tae-Ri Kim. She is the first person to win an OYL Award for her feature-length debut performance.
(Tae-Ri Kim reaches the stage. Michael hands her the OYL, she bows slightly and shakes Michael's hand before turning to the crowd, who give her an ovation. Michael then guides her as they both exit stage right. Conan's back on stage, holding a small envelope)
CONAN
So, right here in my hand, is the next award, it's for the Best Costume Design, but before we give that out, of course, after the Oscar fiasco last year, when they got the envelopes, everybody's been wondering and waiting to see what the next show's gonna do to spoof the moment, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway got the wrong card. Well, this year, the OYL Awards have decided to take some actions to make sure that nothing like that will happen, and we're gonna detail this. So, just like the Oscars, there are two entrances to the stage, from the left and the right, so there are two envelopes for each award, that are handed out, usually before the presenters come out. I'll hand this one to Elle Fanning when she comes out, but normally that's how it works. Those envelopes are, like the Oscars handed out, by the accountants, and I know what you're thinking, "Wait, the OYLs have accountants?"
(Slight audience laugh)
Actually they do. We know when you scroll down to the bottom of these awards, and there's a tag about the "In-House Accountants" of the website, which doesn't sound like it make sense, 'cause why would someone's entertainment blog have in-house accountants, but "David Baruffi's Entertainment Views and Reviews" actually has two accountants on staff. They're normally backstage at this show, handing out the envelopes, but we're gonna introduce them here, they're Michele and William. Accountants come on out for a second!
(Entering stage right, MICHELE and WILLIAM, the website's accountants come out onstage, to some surprise from the audience and some applause.)
Yes, applaud them, they have a tough low-paying job and this is their first perk in seven years.
(Audience laughs)
Anyway, you two are the ones responsible for counting the votes and providing the envelopes, correct?
(William and Michele nod yes)
Okay, now beforehand, there was always two envelopes for every category, but this year, there is only one, Best Picture envelope, correct?
(William and Michele nod yes, again.)
Yes. You two can talk if you want by the way.
(Audience and William and Michele laugh)
MICHELE
Thank you.
CONAN
Well, you don't have to thank me for that-,
(Audience laughs)
(In deeper comic voice)
Yes, thank you Master Conan, for giving us the power to use our voices.
(Audience laughs some more, Conan switches back to normal voice)
Anyway, if you don't mind, can you two go and get the Best Picture envelope from the back, and bring it here, on stage.
WILLIAM
(Out-of-microphone range)
Sure.
CONAN
Okay, good.
(William and Michele exit stage right)
You see, what we're going to do, is put the single, one, Best Picture envelope, on stage now, and it's going to stay onstage for the entire show, and I guarantee you, there is no way, this envelope is gonna to be confused for any other envelope, and we'll show you why.
(Looks offscreen)
Do they have the envelope? Okay, they're bringing it out now.
(William and Michele enter stage right, carrying a Publihser's Clearing House check-size envelope. Conan goes to help them direct the envelope centerstage, where just in front of the big-screen back wall, is a small stand on the ground where all three of them place the huge envelope. The audience laughs as all three carefully place the envelope on the stand)
Can you get it in, and make sure it's in-, wow this is heavy. I thought it was just big, but it's heavy too. Anyway, thank you you two, give William and Michele a hand for the envelope, hey!
(Audience applauds as William and Michele wave as they exit stage right.)
As you can see, this is a pretty hard envelope to confuse with the others.
(Audience laugh)
It's as big as we could get. It's plain white, with plain black text, which, as you can see, very clear says, "BEST PICTURE"
BEST PICTURE
As you can see, it's that exact kind of black, that looks blue on your computer screen, but trust me, it's black!
(Audience laughs)
It's that,- that black color, I forget the official name, black? Ennui Black? On computer screens black lettering looks blue, as they say. I guess something like that, I think.
(Audience still laughing, Conan laughing at himself as well)
How has this damn blog lasted this long?
(Audience laughs, as does Conan)
Anyway., this envelope, will remain here, the entire night. It'll block a little bit of the big screen, we're aware, but, we are doing all this, to make sure, that nothing like what happened at the Oscars will happen here, and yes, it will be opened at the end of the night. So, here we go.
(Audience laughs)
On to our next presenter, a three-time OYL Award nominee, including a double-nominee tonight for Supporting Actress, ah, I'm sorry,
(Audience chuckles)
and as a member of the cast for "20th Century Women", ladies and gentleman, Elle Fanning!
(Awards show theme plays as ELLE FANNING enters stage left. Conan runs over and hands her the envelope he's been holding. She thanks him and then walks over to the left podium as Conan quietly exits stage right.)

ANNOUCER
A past OYL Award winner as a cast member of "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" and a double nominee tonight for Best Actress and as a cast member for "La La Land", Emma Stone!
(EMMA STONE comes out, entering stage left, yelling over to the right side of the stage, motioning to Mary offstage, congratulating her for her win as she eventually gets half-way to the center of the stage before realizing that she's supposed to go to the left podium. She eventually remembers and hurriedly rushes over there.)
EMMA

(SETH MACFARLANE enters stage right as he approaches the far-right podium)
SETH
Good Evening, Everyone. I'm here to present the OYL Award for Best Animated Feature. It's nice being back here, the last time I was here presenting this award, I had just hosted a show like this, and nobody seemed to like it.
(Audience chuckles)
So, they had me present this award out of pity. This time around, they decided to nominate me for my Voiceover work, which they didn't honor back then, but they nominated me for a movie that wasn't nominated anywhere else, here, at the Oscars, or pretty much anywhere....
(Audience laughs)
So, once again, I am here presenting an OYL Award, out of pity. It has to be, they know I'm not winning; I'm up against Mark Rylance, and nobody beats him.
(Audience laughs)
Where is he; is he here this time? There he is.
(They scan to MARK RYLANCE in the crowd)
How you doing, you great actor, you. How's it feel to be nominated in the same category with a douche like me?"
(Audience and Mark laugh)
Yeah, here you are, classing this place up, and here I am, bringing it all the way back down to where it belongs. It's so weird. Anyway, there are five wonderful nominees this year for Best Animated Feature; the award goes to the film's Director and Producer and the nominees are:
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
Kubo and the Two Stings-Director/Producer: Travis Knight; Producer: Arianne Sutner
The Little Prince (aka Le Petit Prince)-Director: Mark Osborne; Producer: Dimitri Rassam, Aton Soumache and Alexis Vonarb
Moana-Directors: Ron Clements & John Musker; Co-Directors: Don Hall & Chris Williams; Producers: Osnat Shurer

The Red Turtle-Director: Michael Dudko de Wit; Producers: Pascal Cauchetexu, Vincent Maraval, Gregoire Sorlat, Toshio Suzuki and Isao Takahata
So, be careful Conan, they can take it all away from you just like that.
(Audience laughs, pausing before opening the envelope)
And the OYL Award goes...
(Opens envelope)
"KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS"!
("Story Time" by Dario Marianelli plays as Travis Knight and Arianne Sutner stand up and begin heading towards the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
This is both Travis Knight and Arianne Sutner's second OYL Award nominations and their first wins. They were previously nominated in the same category for "ParaNorman".
(Travis and Arianne get handed their OYLs from Seth and they then turn to the applauding audience. After a few moments, Seth guides them off the stage, exitiing stage left.)
An OYL Award winner for Best Actress for "Blue Valentine" and a five-time nominee overall, including a double-nominee tonight, for Supporting Actress and as a member of the cast for "Manchester By the Sea", Michelle Williams!
(MICHELLE WILLIAMS enters stage right and quickly approaches the right-side podium to a small ovation.)
MICHELLE
To this day, the art of Casting is still given the slight by many major awards, some not feeling that it's an skill or craft that's deserving of recognition. However as roles and characters in film become more complex and exact, finding the right parts for the right roles can literally make or break a movie and imagining other people in some of the roles cast in these ten nominated films, makes you realize just how difficult the practice can be. Whether it's having to seek out unknowns or collecting together a group of stars, Casting is an art, ant the OYLs are proud to recognize it. Here are the nominees for Best Casting.
BEST CASTING
20th Century Women-Mark Bennett and Laura Rosenthal
American Honey-Lucy Pardee and Jennifer Venditti
Certain Women-Mark Bennett and Gayle Keller
Everybody Wants Some!!-Vicky Boone and Kim Davis-Wagner
Hell or High Water-Jo Edna Boldin and Richard Hicks
The Lobster-Jina Jay
Manchester By the Sea-Douglas Aibel
Moonlight-Yesi Ramirez
Silence-Ellen Lewis
Sing Street-Louise Kiely
And the OYL Award goes to...
(Opens envelope)
"Moonlight"! Casting by Yesi Ramirez!
(Nicholas Britell's "The Middle or the World" plays as YESI RAMIREZ stands up and gets up stage as the crowd applauds loudly.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Yesi Ramirez's first nomination and win!
(Michelle hands Yesi her award and she turns to the stage as the audience applauds. After a few moments, Michelle guides her backstage, exiting stage right. )
To announce the inaugural OYL Award for Best Character Voiceover/Narration Voiceover or Alternative Performance, a two-time OYL Award nominee, previously as a member of the cast of "Cloud Atlas" and this year as a Supporting Actor nominee for "Florence Foster Jenkins", Hugh Grant!
(Awards theme music plays as HUGH GRANT enters stage left and heads to the left-side podium. He waves nonchalantly as he acknowledges the applause from the crowd.)
HUGH
Thank you. When they announced the creation of the category, Best Character Voiceover, Best Narration Voiceover or Best Alternative Performance, they-eh, far and wide, to try to find the best possible person to present such an honor. Unfortunately they couldn't get Andy Serkis to come this year...-

(John Williams's "Sophie and the BFG" plays as Mark Rylance makes his way reluctantly on stage, as the audience gives him a standing ovation.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Mark Rylance's first win and third nomination. He was nominated last year for Supporting Actor for "Bridge of Spies", and with his nomination this year in Best Actor for "The BFG", he is the first person to be nominated twice for a singular performance award, for the same performance!
(Hugh graciously hands Mark the OYL shaking his hands as he hands it over. Mark turns to the audience, who's still standing and applauding. He tips his to them graciously while holding out the award, before him and Hugh calmly exit stage left.)
A double nominee tonight for Best Actress for both "The Handmaiden" and "Right Now, Wrong Then", Min-Hee Kim!
(Min-Hee Kim enters stage right and heads to the right-side podium, to mild applause that's partly for her and partly died down applause for Rylance.)
MIN-HEE

The cast of "MOONLIGHT"!
(Nicholas Brittell's "The Middle of the World" plays as members of the cast of "Moonlight", led by their singular nominated actor stand up, congratulate each other happily and then head towards the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
"Moonlight"'s win for Ensemble Performance marks the first time since the category was separated into two, that both the award for Best Casting and the award for Best Ensemble Performance both went to the same movie!
(The cast of "Moonlight" that's present each receive their awards and turn to the audience who's applauding loudly. Min-hee, once she's finally finished handed out the awards, guides them offstage, exiting stage left. Enter stage right, Conan's on stage, holding a clicker device.)
CONAN
It's been a good awards show so far, hasn't it?
(Audience mildly reacts positively)
I'd say so. I mean, this could've been the People's Choice, so it can always be worst.
(Mild laughter)
But, you know what's not been great about the OYL Awards. It's been all the "For Your Consideration" ads for the OYLs.
(Audience laughs)
Just go with it, or else the bit doesn't work.
(Audience laughs)
But seriously though-,
(Slight pause, sigh)
yes, there's been plenty of marketing for the OYL Awards, and you know, it's a part of the business now, it's not going away, we might as well get used to it. That said though, some of the promotional material, they looked okay on the surface, but some of them seemed a bit peculiar if you looked really closely at them. So, now that the voting's completed, I thought I'd go back and show you some of the material and what I'm talking about on the big screen here.
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows a promotional add for "Moonlight".)
See, here's the promo ad for "Moonlight", it's got all the names and positions, it's a beautiful layout with the cast and the movie poster. This was a nice piece that was a common pop-up on some websites. It's nice ad, but if you look closely at this one strange thing at the bottom, it kinds a little weird.
(Conan click clicker, Image zooms in reveal small printed word.)
Yeah, it says there, "IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR 'MOONLIGHT' YOU'RE BOTH A RACIST AND A HOMOPHOBE!"
(Audience laughs but also oohs heavily.)
I thought that a was little much, don't you think. A little too pressuring, right?
(Long pause)
Oh, strap-in they're getting worst from here.
(Audience laughs)
Yeah there was some weird things in the ads. Like, here,-
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows image of "Fences" ad.)
This is a nice and wonderful advertisement for "Fences", wonderful movie, yeah?
(Audience slightly cheers)
Absolutely, Denzel's amazing, Viola of course. Great movie, and again, it looks like a nice ad, and then you look a little bit closer, and this little part is disturbing.
(Conan clicks clicker, image on big screen again zooms in on the fine print.)
And it says, "NOT VOTING FOR "FENCES" MEANS YOU'RE A RACIST, BUT IT WON'T MAKE YOU A HOMOPHOBE UNLIKE NOT VOTING FOR THAT "MOONLIGHT" MOVIE WOULD!"
(Audience laughs)
I don't think that was, good strategy in the long run. It just reminds everyone of "Moonlight".
(Long pause)
A little too aggressive and mean too. It's competitive.
(Conan clicks clicker, big screen shows advertisement for the movie "Sing")
Even the animated movies get into it a bit. He's a For Your Consideration advertisement for "Sing", and it's a decent advertisement, shows all the characters, it's a nice bright ad. But then you see this thing shoved right under the name.
(Conan clicks clicher, zooms in fine print)
"HEY, WE KEPT YOUR STUPID KIDS ENTERTAINED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF WHILE YOU WERE GETTING HIGH IN YOUR BEDROOM, THAT SHOULD BE WORTH AN AWARD, RIGHT?!
(Audience laughing and some ahhing at that joke)
That's a little too direct I think. Too close to home, maybe.
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows image of advertisement for "Zero Days".)
It's rough out there, even the documentaries were getting in on the act, somewhat. This is an advertisement for "Zero Days", the Alex Gibney documentary. Yeah, he's wonderful.
(Audience applauds)
It got a nomination in a category this year. Well-deserved, and this is a nice promotional material for it, but there is this weird part at the bottom here, let's get a shot at that.
(Conan clicks clicker to zoom in on advertisement)
It's says, "HELP! ALEX GIBNEY'S NOT A REAL PERSON, HE'S A EXPERIMENTAL DOCUMENTARY-MAKING ROBOT THAT BECAME SENTIENT AND HE'S BEEN RUNNING OUT-OF-CONTROL SINCE 1997! PLEASE HELP US REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR ROBOT BEFORE HE MAKES A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT YOU!"
(Audience laughs loudly.)
That- that seems a bit odd. It would explain a lot though. He does put out a lot of movies, doesn't he?
(Audiences laughing dies down slowly. Conan clicks clicker, Big screen now shows an advertisement for "The Handmaiden")
Here's a lovely advertisement for "The Handmaiden", the great South Korean movie-
(Audience cheers slightly)
Absolutely, wonderful film. They have a ton of nominations tonight, so these ads obviously worked. I'm a little surprised that this made the advertising cut. I guess was to promote the country as well.
(Conan clicks clicker, zooms in on advertisement.)
It's says, "SOUTH KOREAN FILM. SOUTH KOREA: THE SEXIEST KOREA"!
(Audience laughs, some random cheers from the audience. Conan acknowledges one of them.)
Yes, I totally agree, it is the sexier Korea, but it still seem like a weird thing to put in a For Your Consideration advertisement.
(Conan clicks clicker, big screen now shows advertisement for "The Mermaid")
And finally, here's an online advertisement for "Jackie", the wonderful Jackie Onassis biopic. Wonderful film, absolutely, and this is a good advertisement, but I think this part here, might have cost them some nominations.
(Conan clicks clicker, zooms in on advertisement)
It says, "VOTE FOR JACKIE! CAUSE IF YOU VOTE FOR "MOONLIGHT" THE GHOST OF JOHN F. KENNEDY WILL COME AND HAUNT YOU AND HYPNOTIZE YOUR FAMILY INTO THINKING YOUR A ZOMBIE AND THEY'LL TRY TO KILL YOU! THIS IS REAL, HE WILL HAUNT YOU, THIS IS REAL, AND NOT SOMETHING THAT THE "LA LA LAND" PEOPLE HELD US AT GUNPOINT TO SAY!"
(Audience laughs)
That's a bit much. See, the campaigns were-eh, really kinda out there this year.
(Awkward pause as audience laughter dies down)
To present the award for Best Production Design, past OYL Award winner as a member of the cast of "Lincoln" as well as a nominee for the cast of "Inside Llewyn Davis" and he's a double nominee this year as a member of the cast of "Silence" and for Lead Actor for "Paterson", and somehow everybody only knows him from "Star Wars", ladies and gentlemen, Adam Driver!
(ADAM DRIVER enters stage left and approaches the far left podium to loads of applause and Conan quietly exits stage right.)
ADAM DRIVER
As one who pretends to be other people all the time, I can imagine being in a completely different world, but that does make you more impressed with the people who's jobs it is to create create a world entirely. That is the job of production designers and set decorators nominated for the category of Best Production Design. There are ten nominees, the maximum, in the category this year, and they are:
BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them-Production Design: Stuart Craig; Set Decoration: Anna Pinnock

(ANNA BILLER's "Love is a Magical Thing" plays as a surprised Anna slowly stands up and walks to the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Anna Biller's first win and second nomination. She was nominated earlier in the night for Costume Design, also for "The Love Witch".
(The audience finally starts clapping after being caught off-guard by the win. Adam hands her the award and Anna then turn to the audience, somewhat flustered by the shock. Adam then guides her backstage, exiting stage right.)
A six-time nominee who's nominated twice tonight for Best Actor and as a Cast Member of "La La Land" Ryan Gosling!
(RYAN GOSLING enters stage left to loud applause as he heads towards the far left podium.)
RYAN
Alexander Payne once said that after all the writing, setting up lighting, building with sets, casting and working with all the actors and shooting all the scenes, to paraphrase, "It's such a relief to be in the edition room, 'cause it's where you finally get to make a movie." There are ten nominees, the maximum, this year for Best Editing, they are the ones who finally made the finished movie. The nominees are:
BEST EDITING
Arrival-Joe Walker
Cameraperson-Nels Bangerter; Co-Editor: Amanda Laws
Deadpool-Julian Clarke
Hooligan Sparrow-Nanfu Wang
Jason Bourne-Christopher Rouse
La La Land-Tom Cross
Moonlight-Joi McMillon & Nat Sanders
Silence-Thelma Schoonmaker
Sing Street-Andrew Marcus and Julian Ulrichs
Tower-Austin Reedy
And the OYL Award goes to-
(Ryan opens envelope. He pauses and looks somewhat taken aback by the envelope.)
Whoa. "Tower", Austin Reedy!
(After a slight delay, Lord Buffalo's "Face in the Grass" plays as AUSTIN REEDY, slowly stands up at near the back of the nominees section of the auditorium with a shocked expression on his face as he starts a long trek down the aisle and towards the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Austin Reedy's first win and nomination. This marks only the second time a documentary has won an OYL Award in a category other than Best Documentary, both times they won in Best Editing category.
(Austin finally makes it to the stage and Ryan hands the OYL, congratulating him and shaking his hand after he hands it to him. Austin turns to the audience. He shrugs and holds up his OYL as he motions to towards some of the other "Tower" representatives and nominees. Ryan then guides him off, exiting stage right)
To present the Best Documentary Award, two former OYL Awards nominees in the category, for Producing and Directing "Tim's Vermeer", respectively; Penn Jillette, and Teller!
(PENN & TELLER enter stage left and head towards the center stage. Teller brings with him a large briefcase that unfolds into a table.)
PENN
Hi, I'm Penn and this is my partner Teller. We're proud to announce the OYL Award for Best Documentary.
(Teller holds up a small envelope)
Now, we love documentaries, in film and television, we've made several of them, we love watching them, especially all of tonight's nominees, but admittedly, giving out an award for a Documentary, and giving out awards in general, well, it's a little-eh, and like some documentaries but like some documentaries, award shows, can be, quite boring. So, we decided that we were going to do a card trick for you.
(Teller takes out a deck of cards, unpacks them from the decks and begins to shuffle them)
Now a card trick, they're also a bit lacking in excitement and drama, so in order to compensate for that, we've kidnapped and tied up Conan, and placed him in a giant dunk tank filled with water, and placed on him a giant pair of goggles covering 2/3 of his face.
(Penn walks stage right and rolls out a dunk tank filled with water where Conan is tied up and locked inside and places it center stage.)
See, there he is, and don't worry, he's fully capable of breathing, 'cause of this airtube that's running out of the top, as you can plainly see, ain't that right Conan? Everything cool?
(Penn knocks on glass of water tank.)
CONAN
(Voice muttled from water)
Fuck you guys!
PENN
He'll be fine in there.
(Audience laughs)
Now, I'm going to go down to the audience.
(Penn takes the cards from Teller, and steps down from the stage and into the audience.)
Eh, let's see, who would like to pick a card? Oh, hello, Auli'i, is that how it's pronounced?
(AULI'I CRAVALHO nods yes)
Auli'i Cravalho, everyone! The voice of "Moana'! Give her a round of applause.
(Audience starts to cheer as Penn fans out the cards.)
So, here, you pick a card.
(Auli'i picks a card)
Don't tell me what it is, just show the camera over there, I'll look away.
(Penn looks away as Auli'i shows the three of clubs)
Okay, now put it back into the deck, and Teller will find this card of yours, okay.
(Penn starts shuffling the deck)
AULI'I
Okay.
PENN
Good.
(Penn climbs back onto the stage, still shuffling as he goes.)
Now, after I hand these to Teller, and he does some mysterious voodoo magic of his to find your cards, I will take out the air-hose in Conan's tank, and the video package of the nominees will play, and afterwards, we will find your card and announce the winner. So, everything okay Conan?
CONAN
(Waterlogged)
You two are assholes!
PENN
Way to be a good sport Conan.
(Penn grabs the top of Conan's head and turns him around so that he's facing the big screen)
Now, let's turn you around in case something happens, we don't want to scar anybody accidentally.

It's one thing to be inspired by other people's great work, it's another to take that work and becomes inspired enough by it to retell it into something that's completely your own. In this case, it could be from a novel or a short story, or several short stories, even poetry, even other films, and even taking their own work and twisting it into something new.

Good Evening, Everyone. I'm here to present the OYL Award for Best Animated Feature. It's nice being back here, the last time I was here presenting this award, I had just hosted a show like this, and nobody seemed to like it.
(Audience chuckles)
So, they had me present this award out of pity. This time around, they decided to nominate me for my Voiceover work, which they didn't honor back then, but they nominated me for a movie that wasn't nominated anywhere else, here, at the Oscars, or pretty much anywhere....
(Audience laughs)
So, once again, I am here presenting an OYL Award, out of pity. It has to be, they know I'm not winning; I'm up against Mark Rylance, and nobody beats him.
(Audience laughs)
Where is he; is he here this time? There he is.
(They scan to MARK RYLANCE in the crowd)
How you doing, you great actor, you. How's it feel to be nominated in the same category with a douche like me?"
(Audience and Mark laugh)
Yeah, here you are, classing this place up, and here I am, bringing it all the way back down to where it belongs. It's so weird. Anyway, there are five wonderful nominees this year for Best Animated Feature; the award goes to the film's Director and Producer and the nominees are:

MICHELLE
To this day, the art of Casting is still given the slight by many major awards, some not feeling that it's an skill or craft that's deserving of recognition. However as roles and characters in film become more complex and exact, finding the right parts for the right roles can literally make or break a movie and imagining other people in some of the roles cast in these ten nominated films, makes you realize just how difficult the practice can be. Whether it's having to seek out unknowns or collecting together a group of stars, Casting is an art, ant the OYLs are proud to recognize it. Here are the nominees for Best Casting.
BEST CASTING
20th Century Women-Mark Bennett and Laura Rosenthal
American Honey-Lucy Pardee and Jennifer Venditti

so, here I am. Presenting. Here are the eight nominees for the first ever Voiceover or Alternative Performance award.

Ah, yes, Seth was right, from one Brit to another, MARK RYLANCE for "THE BFG"!
(John Williams's "Sophie and the BFG" plays as Mark Rylance makes his way reluctantly on stage, as the audience gives him a standing ovation.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Mark Rylance's first win and third nomination. He was nominated last year for Supporting Actor for "Bridge of Spies", and with his nomination this year in Best Actor for "The BFG", he is the first person to be nominated twice for a singular performance award, for the same performance!
(Hugh graciously hands Mark the OYL shaking his hands as he hands it over. Mark turns to the audience, who's still standing and applauding. He tips his to them graciously while holding out the award, before him and Hugh calmly exit stage left.)
A double nominee tonight for Best Actress for both "The Handmaiden" and "Right Now, Wrong Then", Min-Hee Kim!
(Min-Hee Kim enters stage right and heads to the right-side podium, to mild applause that's partly for her and partly died down applause for Rylance.)
MIN-HEE

Hidden Figures
La La Land
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight

(In English)
And the award, it goes to,
(Opens Envelope)
The cast of "MOONLIGHT"!
(Nicholas Brittell's "The Middle of the World" plays as members of the cast of "Moonlight", led by their singular nominated actor stand up, congratulate each other happily and then head towards the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
"Moonlight"'s win for Ensemble Performance marks the first time since the category was separated into two, that both the award for Best Casting and the award for Best Ensemble Performance both went to the same movie!
(The cast of "Moonlight" that's present each receive their awards and turn to the audience who's applauding loudly. Min-hee, once she's finally finished handed out the awards, guides them offstage, exiting stage left. Enter stage right, Conan's on stage, holding a clicker device.)
CONAN
It's been a good awards show so far, hasn't it?
(Audience mildly reacts positively)
I'd say so. I mean, this could've been the People's Choice, so it can always be worst.
(Mild laughter)
But, you know what's not been great about the OYL Awards. It's been all the "For Your Consideration" ads for the OYLs.
(Audience laughs)
Just go with it, or else the bit doesn't work.
(Audience laughs)
But seriously though-,
(Slight pause, sigh)
yes, there's been plenty of marketing for the OYL Awards, and you know, it's a part of the business now, it's not going away, we might as well get used to it. That said though, some of the promotional material, they looked okay on the surface, but some of them seemed a bit peculiar if you looked really closely at them. So, now that the voting's completed, I thought I'd go back and show you some of the material and what I'm talking about on the big screen here.
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows a promotional add for "Moonlight".)
See, here's the promo ad for "Moonlight", it's got all the names and positions, it's a beautiful layout with the cast and the movie poster. This was a nice piece that was a common pop-up on some websites. It's nice ad, but if you look closely at this one strange thing at the bottom, it kinds a little weird.
(Conan click clicker, Image zooms in reveal small printed word.)
Yeah, it says there, "IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR 'MOONLIGHT' YOU'RE BOTH A RACIST AND A HOMOPHOBE!"
(Audience laughs but also oohs heavily.)
I thought that a was little much, don't you think. A little too pressuring, right?
(Long pause)
Oh, strap-in they're getting worst from here.
(Audience laughs)
Yeah there was some weird things in the ads. Like, here,-
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows image of "Fences" ad.)
This is a nice and wonderful advertisement for "Fences", wonderful movie, yeah?
(Audience slightly cheers)
Absolutely, Denzel's amazing, Viola of course. Great movie, and again, it looks like a nice ad, and then you look a little bit closer, and this little part is disturbing.
(Conan clicks clicker, image on big screen again zooms in on the fine print.)
And it says, "NOT VOTING FOR "FENCES" MEANS YOU'RE A RACIST, BUT IT WON'T MAKE YOU A HOMOPHOBE UNLIKE NOT VOTING FOR THAT "MOONLIGHT" MOVIE WOULD!"
(Audience laughs)
I don't think that was, good strategy in the long run. It just reminds everyone of "Moonlight".
(Long pause)
A little too aggressive and mean too. It's competitive.
(Conan clicks clicker, big screen shows advertisement for the movie "Sing")
Even the animated movies get into it a bit. He's a For Your Consideration advertisement for "Sing", and it's a decent advertisement, shows all the characters, it's a nice bright ad. But then you see this thing shoved right under the name.
(Conan clicks clicher, zooms in fine print)
"HEY, WE KEPT YOUR STUPID KIDS ENTERTAINED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF WHILE YOU WERE GETTING HIGH IN YOUR BEDROOM, THAT SHOULD BE WORTH AN AWARD, RIGHT?!
(Audience laughing and some ahhing at that joke)
That's a little too direct I think. Too close to home, maybe.
(Conan clicks clicker, Big screen shows image of advertisement for "Zero Days".)
It's rough out there, even the documentaries were getting in on the act, somewhat. This is an advertisement for "Zero Days", the Alex Gibney documentary. Yeah, he's wonderful.
(Audience applauds)
It got a nomination in a category this year. Well-deserved, and this is a nice promotional material for it, but there is this weird part at the bottom here, let's get a shot at that.
(Conan clicks clicker to zoom in on advertisement)
It's says, "HELP! ALEX GIBNEY'S NOT A REAL PERSON, HE'S A EXPERIMENTAL DOCUMENTARY-MAKING ROBOT THAT BECAME SENTIENT AND HE'S BEEN RUNNING OUT-OF-CONTROL SINCE 1997! PLEASE HELP US REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR ROBOT BEFORE HE MAKES A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT YOU!"
(Audience laughs loudly.)
That- that seems a bit odd. It would explain a lot though. He does put out a lot of movies, doesn't he?
(Audiences laughing dies down slowly. Conan clicks clicker, Big screen now shows an advertisement for "The Handmaiden")
Here's a lovely advertisement for "The Handmaiden", the great South Korean movie-
(Audience cheers slightly)
Absolutely, wonderful film. They have a ton of nominations tonight, so these ads obviously worked. I'm a little surprised that this made the advertising cut. I guess was to promote the country as well.
(Conan clicks clicker, zooms in on advertisement.)
It's says, "SOUTH KOREAN FILM. SOUTH KOREA: THE SEXIEST KOREA"!
(Audience laughs, some random cheers from the audience. Conan acknowledges one of them.)
Yes, I totally agree, it is the sexier Korea, but it still seem like a weird thing to put in a For Your Consideration advertisement.
(Conan clicks clicker, big screen now shows advertisement for "The Mermaid")
And finally, here's an online advertisement for "Jackie", the wonderful Jackie Onassis biopic. Wonderful film, absolutely, and this is a good advertisement, but I think this part here, might have cost them some nominations.
(Conan clicks clicker, zooms in on advertisement)
It says, "VOTE FOR JACKIE! CAUSE IF YOU VOTE FOR "MOONLIGHT" THE GHOST OF JOHN F. KENNEDY WILL COME AND HAUNT YOU AND HYPNOTIZE YOUR FAMILY INTO THINKING YOUR A ZOMBIE AND THEY'LL TRY TO KILL YOU! THIS IS REAL, HE WILL HAUNT YOU, THIS IS REAL, AND NOT SOMETHING THAT THE "LA LA LAND" PEOPLE HELD US AT GUNPOINT TO SAY!"
(Audience laughs)
That's a bit much. See, the campaigns were-eh, really kinda out there this year.
(Awkward pause as audience laughter dies down)
To present the award for Best Production Design, past OYL Award winner as a member of the cast of "Lincoln" as well as a nominee for the cast of "Inside Llewyn Davis" and he's a double nominee this year as a member of the cast of "Silence" and for Lead Actor for "Paterson", and somehow everybody only knows him from "Star Wars", ladies and gentlemen, Adam Driver!
(ADAM DRIVER enters stage left and approaches the far left podium to loads of applause and Conan quietly exits stage right.)
ADAM DRIVER
As one who pretends to be other people all the time, I can imagine being in a completely different world, but that does make you more impressed with the people who's jobs it is to create create a world entirely. That is the job of production designers and set decorators nominated for the category of Best Production Design. There are ten nominees, the maximum, in the category this year, and they are:
BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN

(ANNA BILLER's "Love is a Magical Thing" plays as a surprised Anna slowly stands up and walks to the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Anna Biller's first win and second nomination. She was nominated earlier in the night for Costume Design, also for "The Love Witch".
(The audience finally starts clapping after being caught off-guard by the win. Adam hands her the award and Anna then turn to the audience, somewhat flustered by the shock. Adam then guides her backstage, exiting stage right.)
A six-time nominee who's nominated twice tonight for Best Actor and as a Cast Member of "La La Land" Ryan Gosling!
(RYAN GOSLING enters stage left to loud applause as he heads towards the far left podium.)
RYAN
Alexander Payne once said that after all the writing, setting up lighting, building with sets, casting and working with all the actors and shooting all the scenes, to paraphrase, "It's such a relief to be in the edition room, 'cause it's where you finally get to make a movie." There are ten nominees, the maximum, this year for Best Editing, they are the ones who finally made the finished movie. The nominees are:
BEST EDITING

Jason Bourne-Christopher Rouse
La La Land-Tom Cross
Moonlight-Joi McMillon & Nat Sanders
Silence-Thelma Schoonmaker
Sing Street-Andrew Marcus and Julian Ulrichs
Tower-Austin Reedy
And the OYL Award goes to-
(Ryan opens envelope. He pauses and looks somewhat taken aback by the envelope.)
Whoa. "Tower", Austin Reedy!
(After a slight delay, Lord Buffalo's "Face in the Grass" plays as AUSTIN REEDY, slowly stands up at near the back of the nominees section of the auditorium with a shocked expression on his face as he starts a long trek down the aisle and towards the stage.)
ANNOUNCER
This is Austin Reedy's first win and nomination. This marks only the second time a documentary has won an OYL Award in a category other than Best Documentary, both times they won in Best Editing category.
(Austin finally makes it to the stage and Ryan hands the OYL, congratulating him and shaking his hand after he hands it to him. Austin turns to the audience. He shrugs and holds up his OYL as he motions to towards some of the other "Tower" representatives and nominees. Ryan then guides him off, exiting stage right)
To present the Best Documentary Award, two former OYL Awards nominees in the category, for Producing and Directing "Tim's Vermeer", respectively; Penn Jillette, and Teller!
(PENN & TELLER enter stage left and head towards the center stage. Teller brings with him a large briefcase that unfolds into a table.)
PENN
Hi, I'm Penn and this is my partner Teller. We're proud to announce the OYL Award for Best Documentary.
(Teller holds up a small envelope)
Now, we love documentaries, in film and television, we've made several of them, we love watching them, especially all of tonight's nominees, but admittedly, giving out an award for a Documentary, and giving out awards in general, well, it's a little-eh, and like some documentaries but like some documentaries, award shows, can be, quite boring. So, we decided that we were going to do a card trick for you.
(Teller takes out a deck of cards, unpacks them from the decks and begins to shuffle them)
Now a card trick, they're also a bit lacking in excitement and drama, so in order to compensate for that, we've kidnapped and tied up Conan, and placed him in a giant dunk tank filled with water, and placed on him a giant pair of goggles covering 2/3 of his face.
(Penn walks stage right and rolls out a dunk tank filled with water where Conan is tied up and locked inside and places it center stage.)
See, there he is, and don't worry, he's fully capable of breathing, 'cause of this airtube that's running out of the top, as you can plainly see, ain't that right Conan? Everything cool?
(Penn knocks on glass of water tank.)
CONAN
(Voice muttled from water)
Fuck you guys!
PENN
He'll be fine in there.
(Audience laughs)
Now, I'm going to go down to the audience.
(Penn takes the cards from Teller, and steps down from the stage and into the audience.)
Eh, let's see, who would like to pick a card? Oh, hello, Auli'i, is that how it's pronounced?
(AULI'I CRAVALHO nods yes)
Auli'i Cravalho, everyone! The voice of "Moana'! Give her a round of applause.
(Audience starts to cheer as Penn fans out the cards.)
So, here, you pick a card.
(Auli'i picks a card)
Don't tell me what it is, just show the camera over there, I'll look away.
(Penn looks away as Auli'i shows the three of clubs)
Okay, now put it back into the deck, and Teller will find this card of yours, okay.
(Penn starts shuffling the deck)
AULI'I
Okay.
PENN
Good.
(Penn climbs back onto the stage, still shuffling as he goes.)
Now, after I hand these to Teller, and he does some mysterious voodoo magic of his to find your cards, I will take out the air-hose in Conan's tank, and the video package of the nominees will play, and afterwards, we will find your card and announce the winner. So, everything okay Conan?
CONAN
(Waterlogged)
You two are assholes!
PENN
Way to be a good sport Conan.
(Penn grabs the top of Conan's head and turns him around so that he's facing the big screen)
Now, let's turn you around in case something happens, we don't want to scar anybody accidentally.
(Audience laughs, Penn unlocks the hose and the nominee package begins to play)

(Teller pulls a card. Penn shows it.)
Nine of hearts, was that your card, Auli'i?!
AULI'I
(Shakes head no)
No.
PENN
That's not it? Okay, hold on, one last shuffle.
(Teller shuffles cards, pulls out another card.)
King of spades, that was your right?
(Auli'i shakes her head no, again. Audience laughs nervously. Penn, finds another card.)
Ten of hearts, was that it?
(Auli'i shakes her head no. Audience laughs again.)
Okay, um, well, find the card in a second, let's just open the envelope. And the OYL Award goes to.
(Teller opens the envelope and hands Penn the card inside.)
"Three of Clubs", is that a movie? No, that's your card!
(Audience laughs, Auli'i smiles nod yes)
Yes, yes! We found the card. Okay, let's go revive Conan before he goes brain dead.
(Penn turns back on Conan's airhose.)
Conan, you alright?
(Penn knocks on the glass)
Hey, we found the playing card, but we lost the envelope card; we don't know who won, do you know. Conan?
(Penn grabs Conan's head from the top of the tank and turns him so that he's facing the audience. On his goggles, is a card that reads the winner.)

(AMY SCHUMER enters stage right and approaches the right-side podium to audience applause)
AMY
It's one thing to be inspired by other people's great work, it's another to take that work and becomes inspired enough by it to retell it into something that's completely your own. In this case, it could be from a novel or a short story, or several short stories, even poetry, even other films, and even taking their own work and twisting it into something new. The nine nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay, managed to pull this skill off enough to make us see why they so admired the original work in the first place.

CONAN
It's not funny! What the hell with this show, last year I was humped by Will Ferrell in a g-string and this year, Penn & Teller try to drown me!
(Audience laugh)
I guarantee you, this would never have happened if Sarah was hosting.

You want to do the honors?
MERYL
Absolutely.
(Meryl and Conan walks to the Best Picture envelope. Meryl adjusts her boxcutters and starts cutting from the far left corner, and cutting downward. Conan starts wildly cutting on the right side horizontally)
MERYL
Should I keep cutting or-
CONAN
Just tear at it, go wild.
(Conan starts ripping wildly, only cutting part of the envelope despite the effort. Audience laughs. Meryl then cuts with the boxcutters horizontallly
MERYL
I think you gotta do vertically and horizontally, to get a clean.
CONAN
Well, yeah if you're gonna cut giant envelope the proper way, sure.
(Meryl laughs as does the audience as Conan tears at his end wildly, finally reveal part of the card in the envelope, causing some applause. Meryl tears up her side fairly cleanly as Conan goes with two hands, pulling and throwing shreds of the envelope onto the stage, creating a mess.)
MERYL
Careful not to let it fall over.
CONAN
Oh, okay.

Alright, we gotta clean this up, Everyone. That's our show, goodnight.
