   "Why thank you, Hoyt, but enough about me, let's get right to the nominees."
   "I agree. All right... for Best Actress, the nominees are: Audrey McPhartle, for her unconvincing portrayal of Mama in the urban -- as opposed to urbane -- comedy, 'Rap City'; Uma Quinty-Cheswitt, who really had to stretch to play the role of Florence in the cliche'd lowbrow tearjerker, 'The Bold and the Bland'; Nelda Considine, dreadfully miscast as Nan in the stinker, 'A Highway Runs Through It'; Arlene Quinty-Mueller, truly forgettable as Georgina in the aptly-titled, 'The Ordeal'; and Martha Pandemic, for her weird, totally off-the-wall characterization of Babs in 'The Lemon Project.' Loretta, the envelope please."
