The 84th Academy Awards will air on ABC on February 26th (insert obligatory circle-jerk joke here) and will be hosted by Billy Crystal because, why not? He has experience; he probably won’t ruffle any feathers; and who cares? The Academy Awards are the second most watched telecast of the year, behind the Super Bowl, no matter who the host is. As last minute replacements go, you could do worse. It would be difficult, but I’m sure it’s possible.
The first “trailer” for the Academy Awards is up on YouTube now, and it features the non-existent talents of Josh Duhamel (the poor man’s Johnny Knoxville), Megan Fox (who is way too young to have had so much plastic surgery), Vinnie Jones, and Robin Williams. The trailer (after the jump) is perfect for lulling you into the kind of apathetic slumber that will prepare you for the ceremony itself.
I hope you bailed before the end because the punchline wasn’t worth the minute it took to get there.

Josh Duhamel is the lame-mans Timothy Olyphant
I think that every single time I see him, and I am now incapable of actually regarding him as a human being. He’s some mad scientist’s Olyphant knockoff who sux at life.
Now you don’t like Megan Fox Dustin? I would murder you to sniff her panties.
I get the feeling you’d probably murder me for much, much less than that, The Hammer. Like, some navel lint and a piece of jerky. However, calling me a “retard” yesterday was probably the nicest thing you’ve said about me since I began writing for WG. If I could just work my way up to dumbass or jerk-off, I feel there’s the possibility that we could find some common ground.
/bring back Matt
I don’t remember calling you a retard, but it sounds like something I’d do… And hey if you keep doin what you’re doin you’ll make jerk-off in no time! You’ll get there.
Was the b&w banner pic of Megan Fox spreading her legs unavailable today? A..um..friend of mine was just curious.
I am oddly attracted to Vinnie Jones. Some things can’t be explained.
Me too! Badass makes up for looks a lot of the times. There’s something very primal about being with a guy who you KNOW can protect you if something goes down.
ooh she’s shiny
Ha! Its funny cause texting, thats what the kids are doing these days. And you guys say Billy Crystal isnt still relevant.
I like Duhamel. Well, up until he married Bret Michaels.
I saw the first 12 seconds and the last 10 seconds of the clip. Surely Anne Hatheway and Franco were able to come up with jokes on par with that last year? That was a terrible joke.
I’ll thank you to take back your baseless insult towards Vinnie Jones. My god, he was in The Cape, after all.
If SOPA passes, this clip is what the Internet will look like.
