Saw this and thought I would pass it on, for anyone young enough (18-35) (19-35 in Canada) and or not under contract. Unfortunately I'm a little to old,':(' but fortunately I'm under contract':D'

Enjoy and Goodluck

I really love the idea of this competition.

I really hate that I am toooooooo old for Turner Classic Movies.

Wonder why they don't have a Middle Aged Fat Ass Scoring Competition?

Damn I hope a unicornationer enters and wins!

The combination of looking at your avatar and your comment here gave me a good chuckle.

They do. It is called Los Angeles... and the prizes are a lot bigger!

Remember when I said you'd be a vital addition to any dinner-party, Mike?
I hadn't figured on how everyone would keep their food down, given your brilliant spontaneous outbursts.

Best serve crap, methinks; the humour will provide sufficient flavour.

Not my style, man. First class or nothing, so you might want to stay with your sheep.

LOL - a screenwriter/TV producer friend told me in the early 90's that fat and/or middle-age people don't get work in Hollywood. Glad to hear it has changed!

I would have entered but Canadians from my province (Quebec) are not allowed

Contest open to all legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Canada (excluding residents of Quebec)

It maybe time to pull out that bottle "OIL OF OLAY"':D'

I wonder what there reasoning for that is? I have a lot of family in Quebec. Love Quebec.

Let's see... middle aged... John Williams, Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri, Thomas and the other Newmans, Danny Elfman...

Hmmm... overweight and middle aged... Peter Jackson, Rosanne, John Goodman, Paul Beauregard (last years Oscar Best Song...)

Don't think any of those kids are hurting for work...

I am fortunate in that I have played pre-show entertainment (solo piano) at the Oscar's Nominee Luncheon for the past few years and will refrain from the temptation to tell y'all who I get to lunch with. And while most are slim and trim, many, MANY are middle aged and a bit rounder in the middle.

Now on screen, that is a different story. But for all the hype and stories, often it is talent that counts in pre and post.

Yay! There's hope for us all.

OK, so there's no hope.

I'm on the first plane back to Sheepsville, Apestailia.
