Oscar for Best Hand Job: Funny or Die Spoofs Academy Awards

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

While you were busy crying over the four hours of your life that you lost to Sunday's Oscars, the people over at Funny or Die were also busy, creating an Academy Award category of their own.

Spoofing the awards ceremony, the comedy site made a minute-and-a-half long video in which Sandra Bullock hands out an Oscar for Best Handjob.

The clip features a dubbed-over Bullock presenting, and Amy Adams, Laura Linney, both of Kristen Stewart's hands, and Joaquin Phoenix as nominees. It also features some incredibly cringe-worthy cuts, so be prepared to be woefully uncomfortable.

To their credit, all the ladies (and the gentleman) appear to give a mean old-fashioned. We won't ruin it by telling you who wins.
