I sincerely (not really) hope that everyone caught that delightful tribute to Jerry Lewis during the
Academy Awards/self-congratulatory actor's jerk off session Sunday evening. Dear old Uncle Hoiven Shoigilmen, tottering out to get his honorary award...truly the only way in Hell that Jerry Lewis would ever be handed an Oscar (except in my magical land of imagination in which Jerry receives one everyday for every single category). Just soak that in...Jerry Lewis was handed an academy award. Even the ex had to leave a voicemail message to make sure I was watching the tribute...because everyone knows how much I love "The Jer". In my mind's eye I pretended Jerry was finally being recognized for his stellar work directing the previously mentioned monstrosity, "The Day The Clown Cried". He was a bit too elderly and frail and not as smarmy and weird as I had hoped...but ,my dear friends, The Jer ain't no spring chicken...although he probably played one in a movie at some point...in a zany chicken costume...speaking like a twelve year old and making up words in that beautiful language of his own creation. Jerry getting an Oscar, honorary or not proves that there is indeed justice in the universe..at least in the one I exist in.
