The Other Awards

In honor of tonight's awards show I'd like to report on a fabulously entertaining event I attended Friday night. "The 2nd Annual 67th Annual Fake Awards" were held at the Fake Gallery on Melrose www.fakedotcom.com and I still cannot believe how funny this was. Movies which I had forgotten about from 2006 were nominated and rather than showing clips from them the talented Fake Gallery performers re-enacted key scenes from: Snakes on a Plane, Pirates of the Caribbean (including an appearance by Cap'n Crunch) plus several academy-nominated films. The performance was complete with live music, a charming tuxedoed emcee, a live commercial and a Lifetime Achievement Award winner who made his way to the podium with a walker wearing half a suit and a diaper. I was tickled with my goodie bag (certainly not as fancy as the the ones that will be given out tonight) and also to see how many attendees dressed up in old Hollywood glamour for this hilarious event. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 3rd annual awards ceremony next year and if the level of Friday night's talent is any indicator I'll definitely visit the Fake Gallery for other productions.
