HOLLYWOOD – In a surprise announcement from the American Academy of Motion Pictures, UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been added to the Oscar nominations for best male performance after his role in the defence of ‘The Big Society’.
Critics have universally praised Cameron, who ‘expertly’ played the role of someone who genuinely believes that the takeover of public services by community volunteers would work at the same time he undertakes the biggest spending cuts to those same public services since Margaret Thatcher wiped off her last milk moustache.
‘Show stopping display’
“It was a virtuoso performance! The kind of fictitious tale that Tinseltown was built on,” raved film reviewer Ernie Mathews – adamant that “such was the calibre of Mr Cameron’s acting ability, the Academy had no choice but to make an exception.”
The news briefly stirred rumours deputy PM Nick Clegg could be considered for nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category, forcing the Academy to remind its members that he hasn’t actually done anything in government.
The late call up will see the coalition leader up against the likes of James Franco and fellow Brit Colin Firth whose award-winning performance as King James VI will be given a run for it’s money by some of the statements made by the leader of the Conservative Party this week, said Mr Mathews.
“You just don’t see performances like that everyday and it’s no surprise the Academy have chosen to recognise his work. It was even better than the performance he gave when attempting to convince the public he doesn’t intend to privatise the NHS.”
Born in London, David Cameron got his start in the performing arts when telling Liberal Democrats he would consider electoral reform, followed closely by his role as a man in support of gay rights.
Critically acclaimed
He went on to star in the ‘career defining’ role of a Tory that cared about the poor working class, a performance many are calling his Pretty Woman moment.
It’s this portfolio of acting expertise that have many in agreement the right decision has been made for a performer ‘in his prime’.
“…the way he convinces his audience that a plan to decimate public funding to local services while encouraging local communities to increase voluntary operation of those same services, all while showing no hint of the extensive acting training that must have been required to deliver that load of crap with a straight face…I was speechless.”
