Oscars 2009 - Jerry Lewis: humanitarian award

Back to Sky chat lounge. May I just say that Winkleman is a pro. Winkleman for Eurovision please! I love the bizarre sofa combo of Danny Wallace, Mark Dolan (that guy who is about 8 ft tall and does that freaky people C4 series) and La Beacham. They may fight as proper exhaustion sets in!

Currently the chat is how many hours of Oscar are left. Yes, is that exciting with the Sky sofa that we are sweepstaking the running time...

OK so, out of nowhere (really), Eddie Murphy is presenting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Jerry Lewis. Our response round the room "he's still alive?"

So now we see a compilation clipshow (to Coldplay) of naff Jerry Lewis slapstick. And now some hardcore guitar chords as we hear Jerry's appeals the "Colgate Comedy Hour", via Telethons, and generally raising money for Muscular Dystrophy. Obviously I can't be too evil here cos he seems like his charity way out performs his comedy. The award goes "from one Nutty Professor to another". Jerry Lewis is looking alarmingly, really alarmingly, good for his age. Standing ovations all round of course. Like Dick Van Dyke though our main thought should be: what exactly does he do that keeps him looking the same age as in 1968?! He is struggling with his dentures a little. He has the same haircut btw. That he has had forever. The speech is possibly better acting than his films btw. Classy stuff. The crwod love him btw. Although Heidi Klum looks a tad unmoved but it could just be her sinister hair and the fact that she really had no expectation that she would be filmed at this point...
