THE 6TH ANNUAL ONE-YEAR-LATER AWARDS! HONORING THE BEST IN CINEMA FROM THE YEAR BEFORE LAST! Presented by "David Baruffi's Entertainment Views and Reviews"

ANNOUNCER (v.o.)
Welcome to the 6th Annual One-Year-Later Awards! Honoring the best in cinema from the year before!

(Music plays as audience cheers and claps and is panned over)

And now, our host for the 6th Annual OYL Awards, the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush!

(Music switches immediately to uproarious rendition of "Hail to the Chief" as the screen turns into a giant Red, White & Blue flag, as WILL FERRELL, enters stage left, to a surprised audiences' cheers and applause. He waves and motions to the audience as he walks center stage, which is about when the music finally dies down)

WILL FERRELL
(As George W. Bush)
You're welcome.

(Audience laughs)

WILL FERRELL
It's fun to, be here, I-, I gotta admit, I will admit, when I found out I was invited to host the-eh, One-Year-Later Awards, I was kinda shocked. First thing I said, was, "What the hell are the One-Year-Later Awards"?

(Audience laughs)

But not only, but, because I don't-eh, I don't usually make too many public appearances lately. It's, not really my style, you know? I've been asked to make a lot more lately, as-eh, apparently, people started "missing me".

(Audience laughs)

I wasn't aware, but apparently, I've been something of a,
(Finger quotes)
Mem?

(Audience laughs)

Apparently, there'd be a picture, of me, with the question, "Miss me yet?" scrolled on top of it, and everybody kept responding, "No." But, very suddenly, they started seeing that mem,-, and, eh, suddenly I've become quite missed by everybody?

(Audience laughs)

I don't know, quite how that happened, but it turns out it had a lot to do with the election. Don't look at me, I didn't vote for him either.

(Audience cheers)

Thank you. Thank you. But, Jesus, 2016 sucked!

(Audience really cheers!)

I feel bad for the poor sucker who has to do this next year, 'cause we're talking about 2015 today. I mean, what's that guy gonna talk about? Monumental political (BLEEP)-ups and  death!

(Audience slightly laughs)

I know, a lot about one of those.

(Long pause)

Well, at least I thought I did. I thought I was, quite well-versed in political (BLEEP)-ups, but...-

(Audience laughs)

Anyway, we're not talking about that anyway. We're talking about movies. The best in movies from the year before. Now-eh, I'm not a much of a film guy to be honest anymore, I did used to like movies a lot. You might, remember, when I was in office, there was a movie that I quite enjoyed, back when in office. You might have seen it, it was called, "Austin Powers in Goldmember".

(Audience cheers, sarcastically)

Yeah, that was a fun movie.
(Imitating Dr. Evil)
"One million dollars!" You remember that? Yeah, I do, that's when I liked movies. After that, though, I wasn't as keen on them. I was the subject of a few of them if you recall.

(Audience laughs)

You made one of those, right Michael?

(Will Ferrell points to Michael Moore, Michael nods in agreement.)

Yeah, I remember. You, eh, you didn't, what the-eh, what the phrase, you didn't portray me in a very "positive light" there, did ya Michael?

(Michael shrugs in agreement as audience laughs)

Yeah, that was very disappointing, I must say. I liked your new one a bit more.

(Michael mouths "thank you")

Yeah, I wish I knew there were so many other places in the world to invade.

(Audience laughs)

They got free college in Slovenia! I wish I knew that, I would've told all our schools to start teachings all the kids how to speak, Sloven!

(Audience laughs)

I knew I invaded the wrong country, but I didn't know how wrong I was.

(Audience laughing riotously)

Anyway, nowadays, out on my ranch, when I'm not on vacation, I spend my days, painting. That's my art form, painting, and in honor, of-eh, being asked to come here, I thought, I'd make a few paintings, that I hope represent some of the nominated films tonight. So, I brought a small slideshow, play it Sam.



This is-eh, this looks like a painting of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, yeah, I work a lot in oils, I know, big shock.

(Slight laugh)

This is actually, my reaction to watching "Ex Machina".

(Audience laughs)

Yeah, now, it kinda makes sense, I thought old Ehud would be good an image for "Ex Machina". Okay, next one, please.



This is, obviously a more reflective piece, it's actually inspired by "Tomorrowland" as you can tell. I like to do my pondering on the land of tomorrow, while I'm in the bath, so, that's where that came from. More of a still life, than a portrait. Okay, next one.



(Audience laughs)

Yeah, this one, is clearly, "Fifty Shades of Grey", and what perfect model for that, 'cause he's quite, well, not, fifty, but quite a few shades of grey in him. Okay, next one.



Yeah, this is, well, it's supposed to be "The Danish Girl", but I used Angela Merkel who's German, as the portrait inspiration. It dawned on me that I didn't really know any girl from Danishland, and-eh, I thought this would be the closest thing. Okay, next one:



Yeah, that's old Putey, eh, honestly this was supposed to be "Fury Road", but I think it looks more like "Thunderdome" to me.

(Audience laughing)

That's-eh, quite creepy, but it's more realistic when you meet him up close. Next one.



(Audience shrieking and laughing)

Uh, yeah, Putin again, um, this one's obviously "Trainwreck"; so it's-a, a little more graphic than I normally do, 'cause..., eh, yeah, And this last one:



(Audience laughs)

It's not of a movie, it's a portrait of Jay Leno, He's a funny guy, and my Secret Service man, suggested I paint a portrait of him, and present it to him. He'd say, he'd really enjoy it. Here's my Secret Service guy's right offstage here, come up and say hello.

(Reluctantly entering stage left, dressed in traditional Secret Service suit and glasses, is CONAN O'BRIEN" who gets an immediate loud reactionary laugh)

Yeah, thanks, I just wanted to say, thanks for recommending me do that Jay Leno portrait for him. He seems to really like it. He said, "He couldn't believe I would do such a thing to him!"

CONAN O'BRIEN
(Quietly)
Thank you.

WILL FERRELL
Oh, I owe that all to you, that was your idea and now,...- Now, I want to do something for you, I've heard that there's something that you really enjoy, is that right?

CONAN O'BRIEN
(Worried, trying to stay in character)
No, there's, uh, there's nothing I really like.

WILL FERRELL
Oh shucks, that's not what I've heard.

CONAN O'BRIEN
Please don't do this Will?

WILL FERRELL
I've heard, that you like leprechauns.

CONAN O'BRIEN
I promised I'd do this for the Leno joke, not for the leprechaun bit again.

WILL FERRELL
Oh, we're doing it, buddy, hit it.

(Will strips off his suit quickly revealing a short, tied jungle green top and lime green with a leprechaun picture on the back of the tights, as Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting" begins to play and Will Ferrell, now dawning his sexy leprechaun outfit does a lap dance/dry humping of Conan as . Conan immediately tries to run and hide in frustration and anger, as both of them exit stage left, Will still trying to hump and arouse Conan as they exit. Song quietly plays off as the laughter wears down)

ANNOUNCER (v.o.)
To announce the first ever One-Year-Later Award for Best Original Song, a past nominee for Supporting Actress for "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" and a nominee tonight as a Cast Member for "Chi-Raq", Jennifer Hudson!

(JENNIFER HUDSON enters stage right to applause. She approaches the podium at center stage)

JENNIFER HUDSON
Since the beginning of film, music has played a part in the film viewing experience, when it was a piano player or a whole orchestra playing the score over a silent film. And when sound came in, we soon got the musical, and with that, original songs that were made specifically for a feature film. It's my honor to present the nine nominees for the OYL Award for Best Original Song,

They turn, and wave to the audience awkwardly as they look towards them for a moment, they are then, escorted stage right by Jennifer Hudson, Ali Payman and Tove Lo leading, while Ilya, Savan Kotecha and Max Martin trail behind them.

WILL FERRELL

RACHEL MCADAMS
Production Design, is a difficult job, they create the look of the film. It requires design and forethought that often involves architect-level plans and details, and then, Set Decorators, to execute that vision and keep that vision as perfectly precise on every take of every scene, unless the movie's animated, which means more work for the Production Designer has more to do, arguably. There are ten nominees for the OYL Award for Best Production Design, and the nominees are....

(Subtitled translation that plays on screen)
I was the subject of last year's OYL Award-Winning Documentary, "Jodorowsky's Dune", and they believe that that, permitted me, to give out the One-Year-Later Award for this year. As a filmmaker, I don't make any documentaries, In fact, usually my movies are often, too weird to ever be real.

WILL FERRELL
Tove Lo, gave me this backstage. It's one of her performance pieces.

(Laughter)

She said, I can have it, cause she stretched it out too much, I asked what happened, she said something about fighting for rights to be nude in public, I said, "Just give me the damn thing, I don't care!"

(Audience laughing big)

You can be naked and no one cares, I can be naked for about two minutes, and then it gets old! Just-,

(Audience laughing)

I then said, "Congratulation on your win," and she said "Thank you", anyway, I'm wearing this, until I find something less revealing.

Carol
Chi-Raq

(Open envelope)

The Cast, of "Spotlight"

A four-time nominee, and a double-nominee tonight for Best Actor, and now the Winner of his 2nd consecutive OYL Award as a member of the Ensemble Cast of a film, for "Spotlight", Michael Keaton!

(MICHAEL KEATON, conspicuously absent among his cast before, enters stage right, with his arms spanned wide and he hugs and congratulates the rest of his cast members as they go and collect their Awards. He stops center and turns to the audience, along with the rest of the cast for a moment afterwards, and he stays behind, holding his OYL Award as Saoirse leads the rest of the cast to exit stage left)

MICHAEL KEATON
(Smiling, happy)
Wow! Second one in a row for these, thank you. Same thing happened to Edward last year, he came out to present, it turned out he won.
(Puts award aside on the podium)
The art of Casting is simply about finding the best actors and actresses, and getting them to be in the movie, it's finding the right actors and actresses for this particular film, and then getting them to be in the movie. And that first part is often much harder than the second. It's easy to find great actors, it's harder to find great chemistry, and that's not including finding parts that aren't easy to cast. I can do a great 5-year-old Shirley Temple,...-
(Slight pause, slight laughter from audience)
but casting me to play her in a biopic, is probably not a good idea.
(Slight pause, slight laughter from audience)
Alright, I really do do a good Shirley.
(Sings)
Oh, the goooooo-ood-ship, Lolly-pop...

WILL FERRELL
What did you say?

JUDD APATOW
Ask a producer?

WILL FERRELL
You are a producer!

Judd shrugs in acknowledgement

JUDD APATOW
Ask a real producer

WILL FERRELL
(As he's standing up)
Ask a real-, Oh screw you, Judd Apatow, I'm never working for you again!

(Audience laughing)

Treating your friends this way. Brad! Brad Pitt!

(Will goes over to BRAD PITT, who's got a giant oversize faux fur overcoat on. Will falls directly on his knees)

Brad, I'm begging you, I just need to borrow your coat for twenty minutes? Please. I'll help you prank Clooney next time!

(Audience laughs hard)

Please, I'll do it! I'll do the sexy leprechaun on Clooney, I promise, just let me borrow your coat!

RICHARD
We talk about the Acting Performances being so different all the time, but the Picture themselves can often be as different and distinct as can be, and this year runs the gambit. We have an true-life investigative journalist film about recent revelations oif the Catholic church, a remake of a Greek comedy set against the backdrop of gang warfare in modern-day Chicago, a sequel that's an entry into a film franchise that started in the '70s, a graphic novel adaptation about a self-destructive teenage girl, an animated movie, about what's inside a teenage girl's mind, another animated movie about how an adult male sees the world in his mind, a biopic that tries to peak inside the mind of a technological genius, a romantic-comedy that takes the genre and reinvents it through the mind of a modern-day look at romance, a screwball comedy that feels modern, yet stuck in the '80s and '40s at the same time, and a movie that takes the complications of the banking crises and makes it entertaining and comprehensible. There no one formula or guidebook on how to make a great movies, great movies can come from anywhere and be about anything and told in any way.

(Audience applauds as Richard pauses)

Don't be too congratulatory bad films come from anywhere too, but we're here,-
