The better Oscars

This winter, when the Oscars broadcast is royally sucking, come back here and watch these clips from the Academy's Governors Ball from this weekend. These are the lifetime awards that have been banished from the national telecast since 2009 so that we can watch a 10th anniversary dance salute to the film "Chicago."

Nobody gets played off by the orchestra...
