(INT. DAVID BARUFFI'S OFFICE DESK-DAY)

DAVID

Good morning, Everyone, and welcome to the 10th Annual One-Year Later Awards, the OYLs. Where we honor the best in film, from, whatever-the-hell-year we have to do next.

(Forlorn sigh)

Yeah, I know. We're still behind, it's still the pandemic and even though we're a little open, we're still not doing a normal Awards ceremony. I'm at home, I'm alone so I'm not wearing a mask this time. Other then that, it's gonna be, basically the same as last year.

Uh, we did have to have Zoom calls, and have people presents the awards this year, um, but-uh, unfortunately, it's turned out that Conan O'Brien has hacked into my computer and Zoom account, so anytime I try to connect with someone, it just goes back to Conan.

CONAN

(ON Computer screen, maniacal voice)

That's right. I am the king of ZOOM now! This is what you get for nearly drowning me the last time I hosted your show, so now you don't get to do anything, unless I'm the one doing it....

DAVID

Okay, this bit even that funny.

CONAN

Hey, what are you doing don't turn off...-

(David X's out of Zoom on his computer.)

DAVID

Bye, see-ya later, Conan.

(Sigh)

He's got nothing to do now, so this is...- Anyway, let's just get this done. Here are nominees for Best Original song.
