Film Synopsis:
The lights come on in the Kodak Theater and out comes Morgan Freeman. He opened with history: Apparently the movie has changed since it started, but we still really like it (paraphrasing). The curtain opens and the video begins. Billy Crystal is strapped to a chair in the black and white "The Artist", which is hosted to play host (so say the cards between scenes). He made a plug for his film "Parental Guidance" which came out in November. Then it was the ever-playful George Clooney, enacting a scene from “The Descendants” where he begs his comatose wife to wake up. Unless its Billy. George really committed, even going in for a kiss on the lips. George asks Billy to host and promises to be the youngest and coolest writer in town.
