Entry: How to accept an Oscar - A2369243
Author: David Shoare(or Zaphod Beeblebrox) - U599405

Something topical since the Oscars just went.
Have a look- any more examples I should add?

The 'can't-believe-I've-won-against-so-many-other-great-actors-nominated' line?

how about get drunk, slag somebody off, be completely fawning and obsequious (see above) spout incoherent rubbish (Halle Berry) etc?

Promote alernate cinema that isn't Hollywood...


Remind actors/actresses that you're only (insert age) and still got nominated.

Remind people that this isn't the catergory that people have odds you winning on...

Would it be worth expanding beyond the oscars? It would be nice to see a reference to the debacle with Russle Crow's poem at the baftas. Also dresses. Didn't someone go dressed as a swan and lay an 'egg' a few years ago?

You could even do a second one on music award ceremonies...

after a long time off doing other things, I'm back looking at stuff I've not quite finished and trying to do something with them. I've stuck an entry I started on the TV programme Dick an Dom in da Bungalow (A2399844) in the Flea Market if anyone wants to do anything with it, and I'm going to try and get something going with this one. I'd hate this one to go to waste really.

I've made a couple of edits, mainly some reference to Halle Berry in the emotional breakdown section, and a bit on the end of the thanking an insane number of people section.

I shall endeavour to implement some of the other comments here, any other suggestions?

Ok, fine... if there are no suggestions...

I have a suggestion ... but you may not like it Two suggestions, actually.

Firstly, I'm not sure what this is doing in the AWW. I think this has EG potential: indeed, worked on in the right way, I think this could be an excellent Edited Entry.

Secondly, I think that in order for that to happen, this needs a lot more in the way of interesting examples. Steve Martin arriving on stage and yelling "It was me! It was all me!" Marlon Brando sending a native American lady to pick up his award for him. And so on ... what I'm getting at is that I think you should resubmit this to the EGWW and either expand on it yourself or ask for help with it (throw it open as a collaborative Entry?)

Just my , obviously.

Hmm, interesting idea, I'll go and think about that.

I think this has EG potential too...

Seconded.
