Mr. Oscar, what was “Howard’s End”?

Sorry, couldn’t hear you. Can you repeat the question?
How do you win Best Art Direction?
You yell “Paint, damn it! Paint!”
Dear Mr. Oscar: What is the formula for Best Actor nomination?
Every year its the same. There must be: 1) The sympathetic geezer who never won; 2) The foreigner no one can understand; 3) The young guy who doesn’t have a chance; 4) A politically correct selection; 5) Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, or Robert DeNiro.
And what is the formula for Best Actress?
1) See if Meryl Streep made any films. 2) See if Jodie Foster made any films. 3) See if Susan Sarandon made any films. 4) See if Michelle Pfeifer made any films. 5) A foreigner.
Dear Mr. Oscar: I am outraged! How come the best actor out there, the man who pulls people in to the theaters, the man who truly shows the entire range of human emotion, wasn’t even nominated? I am talking about Steven Seagal.
Easy now, fellah. Put down the gun . . .
Was The Oscar originally The Felix?

I can’t say. Isn’t this a family newspaper?
Come on. What’s the secret of “The Crying Game?”
No (sob). Stop (honk!) asking!
Dear Mr. Oscar: I didn’t get to see “Unforgiven.” What was it about?
About nine hours long, with lots of rain.
