Mr. Peabody... what are you doing?

Since the Oscar telecast is so long and boring... we are going to shake things up--

Geepers, how... are you going to do that?

By adjusting the Wayback Machine... into a Wayforward Machine--

A Wayforward Machine? How... will it work?

Watch... and learn, Sherman!

Bendy? Bendy, are we there... yet?

As our announcer, let me say... Leslie, if you will shut up, we shall get there!

Okay, okay, Orson! Just glad I got somewhere to go... now that I am all dress up--

Yes, Fellow Freepers... we are in... HOLLYWOOD!

For the Academy... Awards--

And to get right to it, y'all give it up for your host Billy... Crystal!

Here we are again, folks... two hours late--

Since Oliver Stone and Sean Penn are back in rehab, to present the Oscar for Best Actor... we have a substitute--

A big hand for... the one and only Doctor--

Zoidddddddddddddddddddddddddddd... berg!

The nominees for Best Actor are Demian Bichir... for immigrant tree climbing in A Better Life.

Georgeous George Clooney... for flip-flopping in The Descendants.

Jean Dujardin... for going black, white and mute in The Artist.

Gary Oldman... going old school British in Tinker Tailor Soldier Drag Queen Spy.

Brad Pitt... for going boring talking economics in Moneyball.

And lastly, our old pal Bendy... for telling the truth in his starring role in the epic 6 hour cut of All My Free Republic Postings in the 2012 NFL Live Thread: The Friggin' Movie!.

And the Oscar... goes to--

Bender! Bender... BENDER!!!!!

They like me! They really... like me!!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hummm... It seems we momentarily lost our satellite feed, but it appears... The Better Life crowd is not happy that Demian Bichir lost.

Nor are the fans of Brad Pitts'... Moneyball

Or are British soccer hooligans... for Gary Oldman--

Those fans that came with The Artist actor Jean Dujardin... are not looking pleased either!

Yet all of George Clooney's past girlfriends... are very pleased he lost.

Meanwhile... elsewhere--

Gadzooks! I love it when a plan... and booze comes together!

Oh, Bendy! I am so glad someone from the real world... finally won!

Way to go, Bender, old sport! With my Oscar track record... next year I'm going the blackmail route myself--

Peter, how can you condone... Bender's cheating to win an Oscar?

Cheating my arse, George! Bender won fair and square and take this... for not believing it!

They decided to postpone the Daytona 500 so I put in my Ben-Hur DVD. I hope the commie libs all have fun at their awards show tonight and may they all receive a giant “swag” bag full of carbon credit certificates.

Good Grief! You sure invested a lot of time on this. I would rather have a prostate exam than watch the Academy Awards.

I used to live in a city where a lot of Hollywood and people in the music industry resided. I find Hollywood “types”to be very vapid except those in the music industry.

The Oscars are mostly for technicians. Only four of the awards go to actors.

Nice job with the graphics. Funny!!

As to the awards... who cares? I’d rather spend the time FReeping and getting some education.

Billy Crystal pretty much summed it up in the opening. There’s nothing in these depressed economic times better than watching millionaires hand little gold statues to other millionaires.

Part of the purpose of the Oscar ceremony is to educate the public about the craft of filmmaking.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the Oscars was tonight was, who gives a s@&t.
