Miley Cyrus to Present Zac Efron with Lifetime Achievement Oscar–Is This a Joke?
When I read this story, I assumed it was meant to be a joke, but is it? What do you think? I guess we’ll find out tonight when we watch the Oscars!
It’s being reported that Miley Cyrus has been added to the Academy Awards to present actor Zac Efron with a lifetime achievement Oscar for his body of work. “I am honored that I’ll have the opportunity to help honor such a fine actor,” said Cyrus. “His fans have been pushing for this his entire career which spans four years.” See how that reads just like a joke?
But then, Dateline Hollywood says:
The decision to present Efron with an Oscar is being met with some controversy as Efron only has one big screen credit to his name so far.
“He was in ‘Hairspray,’ and that’s it,” said Amy Williamson who has been an Academy member since 1964. “I think this is a shameful and desperate attempt by the show’s producers to attract a younger audience.”
But the show’s producer Gil Cates defends the decision to honor Efron by pointing to his body of work.
“Most of his work has been on television, that is true. However, a lot of us believe that his acting transcends television or any other medium,” said Cates. “In his amazing career, no one can forget when he appeared on ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody’ as Trevor in 2006 or his breathtaking peformance as Danny in ‘Navy: NCIS’ or ‘Young Simon’ in ‘Firefly.’ This young man deserves an Oscar.”
The honorary Oscar was supposed to be given to Robert F. Boyle, an art director and production designer who worked on such great works as “The Birds” and “North by Northwest.”
“Someone from the Academy called me last night to let me know that there giving the award to some Efron guy,” said the 98 year old Boyle. “They also took back my tickets for the show. They say there are no seats available because they had to make room for other people.”
“We tried to accommodate Robert Boyle, but unfortunately we needed the extra seats for Zac’s co-stars from ‘High School Musical,’” said Cates.
Are you kidding me?! Surely, surely it’s April Fool’s Day or something!
