WAG AWARDS SHOW

WAG POEM (A1)

TICK TOCK SCENE (A1)

 

 AWARDS (A2)

Cora-lynne:  Wow!  What a night, Keith!  So many great films to choose from.  I certainly don’t envy the judges.

 

Keith:  No, me either, Cora-lynne.  I have enough trouble choosing which tie to wear!

 

Cora-lynne:  Maybe because you have four hundred of them!

 

Keith:  All perfectly arranged in my walk-in closet in order of darkness to lightness.

 

Cora-lynne:  What do you do with the striped ones?

 

Keith:  (thinks, uncomfortably long)  Well . . . I . . . don’t really like stripes.

(Cora-lynne’s dress is striped.)

 

Cora-lynne:  All righty, then.  Moving along.  In these COVID times, we’re all feeling quite cut off and many people are feeling trapped, like the girl in “Day Zero”.

 

Keith:  No wonder!  She got the same lunch every day!

 

Cora-lynne:  Or poor Adrian – who feels so disconnected from his old friends.

 

Keith:  That’s why I don’t have any!

 

Cora-lynne:  That might not be the only reason.

 

Keith:  Marissa said the cookies she gave him weren’t that good, but they looked delicious to me – is there an award for Best Baker in a Film?

 

Cora-lynne:  No, but I think Daniel, from “Presque CBC”, might give her a run for her money.  That was quite a cooking demo!  If only cooking was that easy!

 

Keith:  I depend on DoorDash for all my meals, but the delivery scene in “Presque CBC” made me wonder about my delivery man’s secret agenda.

 

Cora-lynne:  It’s just a story, Keith.

 

Keith:  Where there’s smoke, there’s trouble.  That’s what I always say.

 

Cora-lynne:  Speaking of what you always say, what’s your favourite line from each movie?

 

Keith:  I’m tenacious . . . like a goose!

 

Cora-lynne:  Invigilation . . . that’s such a long word.

 

Keith:  I’m pregnant!  (Cora-lynne joins in.)  And you’re the father.

 

Theme music.

 

Cora-lynne:  It sounds like our almighty director, Narin Malhotra, is telling us to move things along.  Since this is a virtual gala, we won’t have to listen to long speeches from the winners, but we still want to keep things moving along.

 

Keith:  So let’s call Oscar winners, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence to present the acting awards!

 

(Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence enter.  Jennifer trips on the stairs.)

 

Jennifer:  Whoops!  That was embarrassing.  You wonder how many times that can happen?

 

Brad:  That’s why I always wear pants.

 

Jennifer:  But you look good in everything, Brad.

 

Brad:  Thanks, you too.
