The Oscars

As seen through the two-part Jem episode "Hollywood Jem." Jem is nominated for the Best Actress Oscar along with "Sigourney Reever", "Meryl Saint", and "Geraldine Pathos." (Where the customary fifth nominee is, I don't know.) The four nominees appear on a talk show, (about a minute into the first video) where Pathos takes offense at Jem's admission of never having studied acting formally:

(to Jem): You never studied?! Yet you presume to compete with actresses who have spent years, decades at their craft.

(Standing up, arms akimbo): That's it! I refuse to share an interview with someone who became an actress for frivolous reasons.

Can you imagine Emmanuelle Riva launching into Quvenzhané Wallis like that?

"Hollywood Jem, Part 2: And the Winner Is..."
