The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 30, 2014

Five awards walk into a bar…I don’t know the rest of the joke.

I recognize Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Grammy, but what’s that last one on the right?

looks like plumbing

There’s a bunch of figures stacked on top of one another – must be a circus award.

I’m surprised they don’t have an Eisner or a Webby.

I think the final one may be the Rube Goldberg Award.

Marisa Tomei…reminds me of that Seinfeld skit where George is hugging and kissing the sofa cushion. Too funny !

That’s odd because I thought it had something to do with Marisa Tomei winning the Oscar for My Cousin Vinnie. Many people were surprised that she won because it didn’t seem like an Oscar-worthy performance, but I thought she was terrific in it. So “Tony” is saying “you’ve had some clunkers yourself, bud”.

It’s obvious that the one on the right is AGT.

IMHO Gwyneth is a fool. She “uncouple” (is that EVEN an actual word?) from Chris Martin! Imagine living with a man who has a voice like that! Awesome!

@TopazSkies@MissScarletYou are most welcome.

Good comment. I don’t know the history all that well, it was just the first thing that occurred to me. I had forgotten the hubbub about Jack Palance “screwing up”. And anyway, I agree with you about Tomei’s performance being superior to the others.
