For Your Consideration Page #10

you'd like some company this morning.

So let me start by saying... no nomination.

And I say that on behalf of myself

and all your fans.

Your movie was exceptional.

But what went wrong?

Why no nomination?

Honestly, Chuck,

I haven't really thought about it.

- No thought?

- It doesn't really matter.

It doesn't matter. Can I have an order

of humble pie over here?

For Miss Callie Webb? Don't say, "Who?"

One thing you have to look forward to

is having privacy.

Not having people come out and say,

"Can I have your autograph?"

No autographs for this lady.

What do you mean

you didn't want one anyway?

Victor Allan Miller is inside auditioning

for a Buffalo-wings commercial.

Let's sneak inside like a fly on the wall.

Maybe they won't even notice

we're there.

Wow, that's spicy.

- Wow, that's spicy.

- You've sold me.

I'll take a thousand

of those Buffalo wings.

Because I got 500 buffalo

I'm teaching how to fly.

Chuck Porter, Hollywood Now.

Would you all be an angel...

...and give us two minutes

with Mr. Miller, here.

- Hello, Chuck.

- How are you, Victor?

- I'm good, I'm good.

- Victor, listen.

You're striking

while the iron is cold, right?

I was shocked that you were

considered for a nomination.

But once the word came out,

I was rooting for you.

How did it feel when you thought

you were gonna get a nomination?

You know, when you just came in, I thought

you were gonna say there was a mistake.

I wish I could have.

There were so many great performances.

You know, I'm gonna call you Mr. Miller.

Because it's kind of hypocritical

to call you Victor.

- You get what I'm saying?

- I get it, yeah.

Victor, he's certainly not a victor.

Can I help you?

Are you a member of the union?

Would you tell your cameraman

I have to sign a release?

I'm kidding. Just get back there

and make notes.

We are out of here. We're in Times Square.

And we've watched this man's ball drop...

...ignominiously, so let's light the sparklers

and move on down the road.

I think we see Marilyn Hack right now.

Let's pay her a visit.

Morning, Marilyn. Chuck Porter,

from Hollywood Now.

- Wrong house.

- No, the right house.

- I didn't get nominated.

- We wanna talk to Marilyn.

- Marilyn and trash. What a juxtaposition.

- I didn't get nominated.

We know that. And what happened?

- What was that?

- But the important--

You get close to being nominated.

- That's what it's all about.

- No, it's not right. It's a big tease.

Because four out of five of those girls

are gonna lose, bigtime.

- Can I ask you--?

- Way worse than me.

I didn't even get nominated.

- I'm not gonna lose. I'm not gonna lose.

- What happened? All right.

How could I think I'd win

if I'm not nominated?

- That's what I mean. You came this close--

- Stop it!

- I don't think you--

- I'm gonna go to France.

- What for?

- How'd the French girl get in?

The French movie. Drives me nuts,

with the writing on the screen.

- That's French. It's French. It's not legal.

- I don't think it's late-breaking news.

Then I'm gonna come back,

and they're gonna say, "Oh, la, la, French."

"French, foreign. You're so--

Let's give you all the awards."

And I'll say, "F*** you.

You didn't know-- Even know it was me."

- No. I'm sure--

- Yeah, go see Frenchie.

No, I think they did a wonderful job.

Best of luck.

Come in. I got so much food. Come on.

Marilyn Hack. Now I know

what it feels like...

...to stare down into the Grand Canyon.

Chuck Porter, Hollywood Now,

saying, fade out.

You were never there for me

You never really cared

I can see right through you

You were always running scared

But wait. Were you there for him?

Did you give him everything he needed?

Maybe it was you

who was running scared.

Wait a minute, wait a minute

You're changing the subject

I'm getting all confused

He always was the problem

I was being used

Or was I?

Second chances don't happen every day

But in every single way

I will forgive him

Maybe I will forgive him...

...in hell!

What if I told you...

...that you could have a slim,

trim and sexy body...

...in just nine and a half days...

...and have all the fun

of a Hawaiian vacation?

Sound too good to be true?

Well, not when you're exercising

with Hula Balls.

And here to help demonstrate

this fantastic new product...

...a man who came this close

to getting nominated for an Oscar:

Victor Allan Miller.

Victor, welcome.

And congratulations on almost

being nominated. That's exciting.

Yes, it is. Thank you very much.

It was an honor

just to be almost nominated.

It's an honor to be demonstrating

this fantastic product.

Let me just show you

how easy it is to use.

Great. Now, to the untrained eye...

...it may look like Victor is having

the time of his life...

...but he's actually working

his abdominals...

...quads, calf and hip muscles.

Victor, may I join you?

- Please, do.

- Okay.

Plenty for everybody.

- God, this is as fun as it looks.

- Feels good, doesn't it?

- I'm feeling that burn.

- He looks good.

Good? He's this close from the A-list.

I mean, this is such a profile booster

for Victor.

Because you gotta be somebody

to sell these balls.

They don't just ask anybody.

More people will see this

than all the Shakespeare...

...and all the Broadway he's ever done.

He's gonna get a lot of work from this.

- I'm gonna need some help to get up.

- I'm right here.

You can't get away from us, Pres.

We're both in your blood.

This is the country you were born to,

the country you know and trust.

Amy wouldn't understand.

She'd think there'd be snakes.

Julia, please.

- That was good.

- Thank you.

- Not bad. Not bad.

- Thank you.

- But indulge me.

- Okay.

Okay.

Like I am.

You can't get away from us, Pres.

We're both in your blood.

This is the country you were born to,

the country you know and trust.

Your country, Pres.

Amy wouldn't understand.

She'd just think there was snakes.

Julia, please.

See the difference?

Was it louder?

Oh, my darlings, you are so talented.

That's why you're here, with me.

But you are so full of yourselves.

Ask yourself why the naked mole-rat mother

allows 30 babies at once...

...to grow inside her,

feed on her every resource...

...and stretch her skin

to the point of breaking.

I'll let you in on a little secret.

Because it feels good.

She lets it all go. Everything.

And she's left feeling comfortable

in her own skin.

Oh, I wish I could jump-cut you babies...

...right now to the happy place

that I'm in.

I wish, but that's your own journey.

It's worth it.

I have learned...

...that if I can expunge everything within...

...I am left comfortable...

...in my own skin.
