Academy Awards

Jack introduces George Seaton, President of the Motion Picture Academy. Jack is upset because he has not been asked to be an emcee at the Academy Awards. He visits producer Jerry Wald to ask why he was not chosen as an emcee; Wald promises that if one of the five emcees can't make it, Jack will be the first to be called to substitute. Jack visits Jimmy Stewart, one of the five emcees, on the set of his latest picture, and ruins take after take, then plays Stewart's scene as he thinks it should be done.
