Maybe I'm just a starved viewer, deprived through this long winter of all comedy save for the reruns and shows I hadn't bothered to watch yet, or maybe the writers were particularly on their game, having had months without pay to let good ideas simmer. Or maybe it's that this year's slate of overly-serious oscar nominees was dying to be satirized. In any case, this is the funniest SNL skit I've seen in some time.
