Ben Stiller Suits Up Green
One of two laugh out loud Oscars moments last night had comedian
Ben Stiller, 40, present the award for
Best Achievement in Visual Effects. More pictures and the
video after the jump. It's
hilarious! Here's the transcript I typed up --
Tonight, I am presenting the award for excellence in visual effects. Or should I say, thanks to the miracle of green screen technology, my disembodied head is. Those of you in the audience, take a look at the monitors next to the stage and you'll see what over a billion viewers worldwide are ogling at right now. Freaky, isn't it? You might even say that since the early days of cinema, visual effects have come full [Turns around] circle. This is blowing Spielberg's mind. [Spielberg shakes head no and mouths "No it's not"] In a moment, even my head will disappear and for the first time in Oscar history, an Academy Award will be presented... by no one. [Puts green mask over head] Don't worry, I'm still here. [Moves to the left] Or am I here? And the nominees are... [Makes envelope 'fly' around] Envelope, by the power of movie magic, open yourself. And the Oscar goes to... King Kong.

He wasn't funny in the least.
I thought this was funny. enough. The will ferrell Make thing with carrel was good too.
Stiller is never funny.
Ever.
Ah come on! He was great! Takes guts to do something like that on Oscar night. Spielberg's a party pooper "No it's not" oh boo hoo... :P
Ben Stiller is patently unfunny. This skit was just a waste of airtime; the camera shot to Spielberg who said he was NOT blown away. Stiller's connections ensure him on-screen time, but he is NOT FUNNY
That was so Zoolander-esque ... LOVED IT! I agree that sometimes he is pretty un-funny, but anything that involves him dressing up in green spandex is bound to be hilarious.
i think the really funny part is that Spielberg shook his head and mouthed no - i mean...how old is he?? - the fact he took this seriously is REALLY sad - and absolutely hilarious - what a stiff....
