As always, I will not be watching, as I'd rather have broken glass dropped into my eyes than put up with that. However, it's been my tradition to write how the Oscars ceremony <i>should</i> go. Complete with my own continuity from previous Oscar years.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7ZDkMrFUn_jnRR2EkBDnEaJFL-EJnIlLHHahFaTvfraEE5zFENTuxAo3XW5gwdlB4pN9Gx3j1egAyabOgzzcdQ0B9YihCQ9uT2-Bg3TRFGa9d4pkNReycTjvivlxr782Tt_o9V1VNLl46rHqL78QdbtjOhVBwT_vlWHEkzOkSo7ieSOJccpNhwf5yH4/s622/Brace%20Yourselves.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="622" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij7ZDkMrFUn_jnRR2EkBDnEaJFL-EJnIlLHHahFaTvfraEE5zFENTuxAo3XW5gwdlB4pN9Gx3j1egAyabOgzzcdQ0B9YihCQ9uT2-Bg3TRFGa9d4pkNReycTjvivlxr782Tt_o9V1VNLl46rHqL78QdbtjOhVBwT_vlWHEkzOkSo7ieSOJccpNhwf5yH4/s320/Brace%20Yourselves.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Five days before the event actually is scheduled to take place, fans will start camping out for places around the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. They will be spending their time sharing gossip on the nominees, who will be wearing what, and who might be the sore loser of the nominees. In the interim, they'll be spending their time irritating nearby shop keepers with requests to use the washroom, and giving the Ubereats drivers plenty of business.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor will appear at the offices of the ABC network president to assure him that the ceremony will finish on time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The president, fully aware that will never happen, will nod and assume that his network will be backlogged with delays all night and probably into the next day.

The actor, who died years ago during an Oscars ceremony, left a will that stipulates that his corpse be placed in the front row for each ceremony going forward. The morticians will periodically muse on how many seat fillers will have to be paid extra to sit around the embalmed body.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At a psychologist's office in LA, Leonardo DiCaprio will be attending a session.

Faced with a restraining order forbidding him once again from coming near the Dolby Theatre after multiple years of breaking in anyway, in a series of daring stunts involving the physical maiming or deaths of multiple accomplice waiters/ wannabe actors, Cruise will shrug it off, already planning how he'll pull it off this year.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the day of the ceremony, Will Smith will be at home, feeling sorry for himself, still deep in a ten year ban from attending the ceremony after the hitting Chris Rock fiasco.

The narcissists have been together for years, after this dimension's Katherine Heigl crossed worlds to find the one true love of her life- herself- and brought the other Katherine Heigl into this one. And ever since then, they've spent time making a scene of themselves at every opportunity, being exhibitionists along the way. They'll go down the red carpet, making out and fondling each other, while others wonder how they scored an invite.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiZDlyBtt9hCkM4NmWt833UbF7WN-SS46thHxCdGZ3GZmf8S8TWJm_AWrXo_FmbcUV-C0-4YNvcx56UJsMmb0uYnytMkLunPNMOqBTFdESFcIHwJTKjKsoqjyUjWbVyOFsoVSEsEY8RX8N9MIrvVcmP059lJPYcCpPXgzHawpID1Ygq8qngaRFF1QPcsY/s772/Heigl.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="772" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiZDlyBtt9hCkM4NmWt833UbF7WN-SS46thHxCdGZ3GZmf8S8TWJm_AWrXo_FmbcUV-C0-4YNvcx56UJsMmb0uYnytMkLunPNMOqBTFdESFcIHwJTKjKsoqjyUjWbVyOFsoVSEsEY8RX8N9MIrvVcmP059lJPYcCpPXgzHawpID1Ygq8qngaRFF1QPcsY/s320/Heigl.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In Canada, legendary Mountie Inspector Lars Ulrich will wrap things up for the day at his detachment in Alberta, fresh off beating up Mechagodzilla and making it cry.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a narcissistic director shall be in want of attention. At least that's how Jane Austen might put it these days. This reporter, fresh off a stint at the Super Bowl, and personally seeing a few protestors outside demanding that Taylor Swift be executed for treason, was diverted to L.A. by his editor (<i>editor: yeah, sorry, but the readers love it when you attend these things</i>).</p><p style="text-align: center;">It was to the headquarters of Digital Domain, one of the stomping grounds of the most ego driven person in Hollywood, and there are a lot of those (<i>editor: are there ever</i>).</p><p style="text-align: center;">Michael Bay.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgO_9T0kaH2Muu9lH6YrPzics9D4otRJc_SPj4m06UuzP5PKuBIKZeq4P1VNJLyZOjqEVronlGNS0VKMpniosYhz1mgk1J_DDr02voN9MHMh46CtSPIAD_F01VVi0NidkdSb2uRFiXXspiJZF7HlbrsnvpzJwMfT5H68mCd4DD_pUrBJCmKZRRShPh8Is/s888/explosions.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="888" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgO_9T0kaH2Muu9lH6YrPzics9D4otRJc_SPj4m06UuzP5PKuBIKZeq4P1VNJLyZOjqEVronlGNS0VKMpniosYhz1mgk1J_DDr02voN9MHMh46CtSPIAD_F01VVi0NidkdSb2uRFiXXspiJZF7HlbrsnvpzJwMfT5H68mCd4DD_pUrBJCmKZRRShPh8Is/s320/explosions.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This reporter joined a handful of real reporters and a horde of entertainment reporters in the auditorium. A podium was set up on stage with the requisite full length mirror. The entertainment reporters, being very stupid (<i>editor: oh, they are</i>), were abuzz about what might be announced. At length, a staff member came out and called for attention. "Ladies and gentlemen, if I may?" she prompted.

He was dressed in his usual casual way, with dishevelled hair and a few days of stubble. He walked up towards the podium and winked at his reflection. When the applause from the entertainment reporters died down, Bay began to speak. "Thank you! It's nice to see you all here today! It's a great day to be here, isn't it? Of course it is."

text-align: center;">Las Vegas (AP) The week leading up to the Super Bowl is carrying on in this gambling city of the American West. Fans are pouring in and taking in some of the pre-game hype. Reporters from all over the world are present. Betting sites are taking action on literally every aspect of the game. Scalpers are working to unload tickets at steep rates and avoid being seen by the police. And the usual Vegas crowd are oblivious to it all, feeding more and more money into the slot machines.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year the San Francisco 49ers are meeting the Kansas City Chiefs in the first Super Bowl held in this city. The two teams have proven to be controversial, as the MAGA segment of the population hates San Francisco, a liberal city, and so would be inclined to root for their opponent.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAMq7oRf6Z4EcVT_FfjrD9th7w-v4zc3m2k6FsCaWE_A_jVFmR0ucP28inyy55i4iwprun9A2RzXD-yV_FCEhW3vG-M2ioJL588vmB1ue1tBS7ZBqG7azedpDUSz3mZ5hLoHNaHle9RAOSB8GaoowyYJYryCllsyc4K8v8n8YT2BiWaRfQpxuDTTwz6_I/s681/Super%20Bowl%20Sunday.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="681" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAMq7oRf6Z4EcVT_FfjrD9th7w-v4zc3m2k6FsCaWE_A_jVFmR0ucP28inyy55i4iwprun9A2RzXD-yV_FCEhW3vG-M2ioJL588vmB1ue1tBS7ZBqG7azedpDUSz3mZ5hLoHNaHle9RAOSB8GaoowyYJYryCllsyc4K8v8n8YT2BiWaRfQpxuDTTwz6_I/s320/Super%20Bowl%20Sunday.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But their opponent is Kansas City, and in recent months, the team has been in the news for another reason- one of their team members, Travis Kelce, has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift, the megastar singer whose legions of fans call themselves Swifties. And she herself is seen as liberal- so the MAGA crowd have been screaming murder and claiming that she's ruining the game (<i>editor: what a bunch of crybabies</i>).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This reporter has been dispatched to cover the game, despite the fact that he's not a sports reporter. Perhaps it's because his editor appreciates the general snarkiness of his writing for such events. It's very different from this reporter's previous editor, who's still locked away in a mental hospital after multiple violent threats (<i>editor: that guy was out of his mind</i>).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiD7PQx68knTIpe5nPaR9iHOevwUBgFO4mJVrcsqkeEYlWqMEFOXbIQN3795WIjrQyVbOAZZPvqyKAsQfgzoxSHOU-Z_KqSY01Cp2m8oxMpVfbis6I11Zcxj7fbVeXZH39Sivw3WylLp30sZH0Efe65EIP6VvHDu-V1Uctc2u8mSKQ7aJPc53Q7GRXZXs/s889/Kelce%20Swift.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="889" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiD7PQx68knTIpe5nPaR9iHOevwUBgFO4mJVrcsqkeEYlWqMEFOXbIQN3795WIjrQyVbOAZZPvqyKAsQfgzoxSHOU-Z_KqSY01Cp2m8oxMpVfbis6I11Zcxj7fbVeXZH39Sivw3WylLp30sZH0Efe65EIP6VvHDu-V1Uctc2u8mSKQ7aJPc53Q7GRXZXs/s320/Kelce%20Swift.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Swift, who has a habit of writing breakup albums after previous relationships went south, may or may not even be attending. She's in Japan doing a concert the day before, and a flight back would take eighteen hours. Nonetheless, the relationship has MAGA faithful foaming at the mouth, what with the habit of broadcasters regularly cutting to check her out at games. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"It ain't right!"

Your guys don't always win, because what would be the point?"</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's also been the year of the final downfall of a coach who was once a big name in the game- Bill Belichick. The former Patriots coach, who cheated his way to multiple Super Bowl championships, was fired early in the year after over two decades in New England. Belichick has been seen this week roaming about, looking for new coaching opportunities.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ43eQgWykNuKyIGCaIkEtHocXjD1uDiKtw1dJeH8GaRe0vHmPF23VJsvneENX5c78Id9g5BAu6P_h-RRbseB_UubJND_e96YIF5ttFnlx7g79cijq1By5xOt9QGIgJwJKj1kk1PrSyU5_y0ejiznsO_1Vrc9eyuw4V5I4IUZBn_IGcGdKBfYFRsctFsw/s750/Zuckerberg.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ43eQgWykNuKyIGCaIkEtHocXjD1uDiKtw1dJeH8GaRe0vHmPF23VJsvneENX5c78Id9g5BAu6P_h-RRbseB_UubJND_e96YIF5ttFnlx7g79cijq1By5xOt9QGIgJwJKj1kk1PrSyU5_y0ejiznsO_1Vrc9eyuw4V5I4IUZBn_IGcGdKBfYFRsctFsw/s320/Zuckerberg.jpeg" width="273" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No one has been biting as of yet. Rumour has it that Belichick even reached out beyond American borders to the Canadian Football League and offered his services to the Ottawa RedBlacks, who have been having a few bad years. A staff member, speaking on condition of anonymity, told this reporter by phone, "look, yes, we've been struggling a lot, but we're trying to turn it around. Besides, we're not that desperate." (<i>editor: ooo! Burn!</i>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has been said that Belichick sold his soul to the Devil to gain his victories. The Devil has previously confirmed this, and spoke with this reporter this week by phone from the Seventh Circle of Hell. "At this point, his soul is effectively worthless. I'm putting some serious thought into maybe revoking his ability to die, and condemning him to be an eternal wanderer, walking the face of the earth, trying and failing to get a football job. I think that's the sort of thing he deserves."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTrOVBkfPJ5RtXjGIr8Wy9r3mSIoHb4P9bgjvXid_5lTKS0aln5-mVnXtUBxAkHSHCgX5OpwZ4UPBE2mAAzCiIO3mtym-UvIwJtoo6SuvEAxelsLtpTNLmzO822I4GYLzhpPo5T95JgsgVqXACtrmqdOXHN8yce_Zd9j6gE1rxPCuhyphenhyphen6ojwGWzRrvHPf8/s607/Bill.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTrOVBkfPJ5RtXjGIr8Wy9r3mSIoHb4P9bgjvXid_5lTKS0aln5-mVnXtUBxAkHSHCgX5OpwZ4UPBE2mAAzCiIO3mtym-UvIwJtoo6SuvEAxelsLtpTNLmzO822I4GYLzhpPo5T95JgsgVqXACtrmqdOXHN8yce_Zd9j6gE1rxPCuhyphenhyphen6ojwGWzRrvHPf8/s320/Bill.jpg" width="264" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Country singer Reba McIntyre will do the national anthem to open up the event.
