"Did you know..."
*audience falls silent*
"...I identify..."
*audience leans forward with anticipation*
"...as an Oscar winner?"
*audience loses their minds, people frothing at the mouth with excitement, somebody stands up and starts clapping and the whole theater bursts into a standing ovation. Ricky ascends from the stage into the heavens in a bright flash of light, having transcended his mortal body into a comedic god. The telecast is interrupted as the sheer force of the clapping in the audience creates an electromagnetic pulse that knocks out power to a third of Los Angeles. Twelve people go into cardiac arrest. Kevin Hart, in the front row, is laughing so hard his body turns inside out. The audience slowly asphyxiates as they are laughing so hard they forget to breathe. Joker is ultimately robbed of Best Picture in favor of Avengers: Endgame. Martin Scorsese is seen lying facedown, unresponsive, in row seven*
