Top Ten Ways to Make The Academy Awards More Exciting
(This is the Top Ten Contest sent in by viewers, not the TV show list...but still pretty funny!)


10. Every acceptance speech given by a crazed Howard Dean
Ryan M., Edmond, OK

9. Instead of walking the red carpet, attendees now arrive via water slide
Dave R., Paradise, NL Canada

8. A production number with Debbie Reynolds and Justin Timberlake :scared:
Dan K., Pennsauken, NJ

7. Instead of Oscar statue, recipient of Best Actor award gets frozen head of Ted Williams
Scott M., Castro Valley, CA

6. Kucinich, Kucinich, Kucinich!
Dave R., Baltimore, MD

5. After each award, have Ashton Kutcher tell them they've been Punk'd
Mark L., Pompano Beach, FL

4. If acceptance speech lasts longer than 30 seconds, Oscar statue explodes :D
Chris S., Menominee, MI

3. Nominate Paris Hilton for Best Director :thumbsup:
Davey N., Taipei, Taiwan

2. Less acceptance speeches, more wardrobe malfunctions
Clarence P., Mount, Pearl

1. All winners receive a one-day marriage to Britney Spears
Em S., Iowa City, IA

2. How to really make the awards interesting
Post the winning votes before the show. Only invite those who have lost to speak. Those who have lost get a chance in their loser's speech to discuss why they think they lost the award. Blame must be placed elsewhere. Comments must be nasty or the speech will be cut.

Verily, it would be bigger than the Super Bowl.

4. They need to release the vote tally
and then give the "winner" the statuate and have the "losers' take part in a mud/food/paint wrestling match.

Seriously, they should release the vote tally
