Post 14

Recently I and a group of writers were asked to write an Oscar Parody. Then I thought about that. Aren't the Oscars really just a parody of the movie business?  Either you have an agent or you don't.  You are either working or you are not.  You are either funny or well; you have to wait for that setup, punch line joke.  I hope they do a long dedication to Sid Caesar. TV will count!

There are plenty of things to write about Oscar season just the host along could create a joke.  Ellen DeGeneres as little Nemo Think about it Gravity v 12 years a slave.  I wrote two pages in about twenty minutes on that concept. Wish me luck.

As for Oscar, I hope Ellen DeGeneres has great writers and I can survive past the first two hours. If not It might just be another snore festival. 

Speaking of Oscar, what films should have been nominated. This is my short list. I refuse to do ten, maybe fifteen with as you see a special Oscar for Action/Sci-Fi films.

1. Thor, the Dark World

2.  42

3. Iron Man 3

4. World War Z

5. The Hunger Games- Catching Fire

I mean Fruitvale Station was a great picture, but does it have the votes to win anything this year. Tune in on March 2, 2014
