Best Celebrity Impersonation
"A rash of recent Oscar winners have been rewarded for playing real people, from Ray Charles to Truman Capote to June Carter Cash," reads the NPR promo copy for Pete Hammond's just-posted aural report. "Are the acting categories turning into best imitation of a real celebrity life?" Obviously. The Academy clearly prefers handing out awards to actors playing real-life people, i.e., those whom viewers know quite well for their voices and tics and body language. Hammond suggests the creation of a new Oscar category -- Best Celebrity Impersonation.

what about Renee doing Granny Clampett? And Cate winning for a bad Hepburn over Virginia Madsen's amazing grape moment.

I said this here months ago and I'm sure I wasn't the first to notice...are journos so hard up that they'll write about anything, even if it's behind the comment curve at H-e??? Why not just write an article describing the colors of a moldy piece of bread in your pantry...
