An American Carol Page #4
- For a documentary. Come on.
I know that.
I gotta do a feature like John Ford.
That man was a true filmmaker.
The sweeping vision, the amazing
panoramas of Monument Valley.
And soldiers were good guys.
But you're leading
a demonstration against our troops.
Oh, right, on the Fourth of July.
- It's not against the troops.
- Oh, save it for your crazies.
Look, Mikey,
this is a fickle town.
See the maitre d' over there, huh?
Used to be recurring on Seinfeld.
Hey, call me. [laughs]
Now, what is this feature
you have in mind?
It's a powerful drama about oppressed
people adrift in a world gone mad.
Hmm!
It's anti-everything-America-stands-for
without being anti-American.
Hmm...
Fascist America?
Comedy, right?
Wow. [sniffs]
Did you bathe today?
No.
[Orchestra playing]
[Announcer] And now,
live from New York City,
it's the MooveAlong. Org Film Awards,
hosted by Paris Hilton and Simon Rex.
And now, here are your hosts,
We are gathered here tonight
because we all share the same goals:
Redistribution of wealth,
freedom from the chains of materialism,
and, of course, ending world hunger.
- [Applause]
- Finally. I'm starving.
It's our pleasure to present
the most prestigious honor
in documentary film,
the Leni Riefenstahl Award.
[Applause, music]
[Rex] As Germany's most famous
documentary filmmaker,
Leni Riefenstahl
celebrated the incredible rise
of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler,
becoming a tireless promoter
of his campaign for change.
Her pioneering use
of the wide-angle lens
to capture the scope
of massive formations
paved the way for
generations of filmmakers.
Through the creative
manipulation of truth,
she was able to influence history,
demonstrating the power of film.
[Hilton] Although resulting
in the death of over 60 million people,
her place in any cinematic
hall of fame is secure.
And this year's award
for best documentary director goes to...
Michael Malone for
Die, You American Pigs.
[Announcer] This is Michael Malone's
He previously won for his documentaries
Shame On You, America,
- and America Sucks A Big One.
- Oh, OK.
Hey. I try to tell the truth
in my films, and I get attacked...
- [orchestra playing]
- But I'm gonna continue...
Oh. Ha.
Oh. What is that?
Ooh! Ooh!
Get my good side.
That concludes the non-televised
portion of the show.
- [Drum roll]
- Huh?
And now the highlight of the evening:
Best Feature Film Director.
And the award goes to...
[both] George Mulrooney!
For That McCarthy Sure Was Bad.
[Announcer] The heroic story
of newscaster
Edward R. Murrow, who half a century
