Cafe Society

Not really Café Society material, unless my colleagues beg to differ.

We’ve all seen them. Oscar Categories that seem to be rather far-fetched.
Here’s the deal: we’re gonna invent some of our own, as far-fetched as possible. I’ll start!

I think they have this already. Can someone confirm.

Their reality is as silly as our parody of them.

11

Well, they already have these:

A.k.a. Best Actor/Actress (Geoffrey Rush, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks…)

A.k.a Best Supporting Actor/Actress, or occasionally Best Actor/Actress (Jack Palance, Don Ameche, Jessica Tandy…)

Which covers everybody who doesn’t fall into the above two categories.

Sad, really.

Best wet street at night scene.

Best fight scene where our hero doen’t get a scratch but all 1,000,000 of the CGI beasties get slaughtered.

That way, we can start giving Best Picture to movies that are good, and don’t just make us feel good.
