"Was one green or am I nuts?" RIP Fred Willard. Always hilarious!

God, I love Christopher Guest. Catherine O'Hara is just superb in everything she does. Every. Single. Thing.

Anything the "Spinal Tap Company" does is pure genius. Now to binge, "Spinal Tap", "Best in Show', and "A Mighty Wind"

To think this is a bygone era now with Fred Willard's passing. Great tongue in cheek stuff as per usual with these talented people. 'all the squished faces'............lol

Christopher Guest is a treasure. But this needed some Michael McKean.

He is great! I never knew his wife is the beautiful Jamie Leigh Curtis! ( since 1981)..He's great with Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner ! ( " Don't Get Me Started" 1987 HBO)

christopher guest is a genius

BUT WHERE WAS PARKER POSEY?!

Best line: Was one green or am I nuts?

Well the bit about cutting the Rainbow song was true- someone did want to take it out because it slowed the pace of the film, luckily they kept it in.

Gentle comedy and all the better for it that uncomfortable feeling that it could almost be real.

Miss Fred and the dead pan zany comedy from this troupe........love the movies they did together.

One of the best and most inspired parts of the show. Completely hilarious. It just sucks that so many people only watch the Oscars to hate on the show.

What's not to hate about a bunch of self-congratulatory millionaires?

Fred Willard is probably the only person in this clip that was alive during the original release of Wizard of Oz.

I for one loved it! These guys are always hilarious and do THE BEST improve.

What a room!

What a cast.

Rest Easy Fred. 💚

1:04 It’s Dougal Currie from _Canadian Gaffes and Practical Amusements!_

Catherine O'Hara & Eugene Levy, those two have a great history and of course Schitt's Creek!

This wasn't a joke.

My mom and I both feel the same way! When she and I saw this sketch, right around 0:57, I said "It's them!", and Mom and I both grinned ear to ear!

I love Fred Willard.

Dennis Miller had Eugene Levy on his program today an mentioned this skit, it had completely slipped my mind -

I agree wholeheartedly with doglover ! I've been searching for this video on search engines ever since I saw it on the Oscars...just occurred to me today to check KZread

@zardo4michael It is if you're working in movies. Actually, they almost did cut "Over the Rainbow" because it was perceived as being too boring.

The front row lady’s voice was a dead ringer for Dorothy

Stifler's mom and Jim's dad?

That is Jennifer Coolidge, a very very funny actress who appears in most of Christopher Guest's projects, but to the wider audience she is mostly known as Stifler's Mom, the original MILF.

@vin13ish and I forgot Catherine O'Hara

great!! GREAT!! :)

Wonderful. SCTV alumni _ Chris Guest, etc.

Haha, brilliant!

This is what I do for a living. Too funny. They would get about $100 for that.

Focus groups are pseudoscience. Although this is just a skit, it embodies how screwed up they are. Focus groups are completely worthless. People are incredibly poor reporters of their own opinions.

deep filming focus groups

I'd like to see the movie if they had made all those changes...

@vin13ish Christopher Guest, Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard, Eugene Levy and Bob Balaban is the guy who's questioning them.

1:42 did Bob break?

❤️

I thought this might be actul footage than I saw it

Until now I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that Dougall Currie had been in the 'Wizard of Oz' focus group. (Loved his 'Canadian Gaffes and Practical Amusements,' by the way!)

Can someone tell me who that all actors in focus group.

I can't look at them without remembering American Pie :P

Why wasn't jane Lynch there? She in ever Christopher Guess movie. Probably shooting Glee

Is this a Christopher Guest movie?

Hilarious, and sadly true.

Was this really shown at the Oscars? It would have been a mediocre clip for SCTV but not for the Academy Awards. I was expecting Marty Dibergi to ask a question here.

The last time they were all together :( (Mascots doesn't count....)

This is freaking hilarious, but probably only to those who've actually been through one of these nonsense processes :)

Geeeez..."I hope 'Gone With The Wind' has monkeys in it" is a line they wouldn't be able to do today. Damn.

They skipped the performances of the two original song nominees for this?!?

i thought it was funny, but that's just me. apparently 54 people disagree with me on that, and 21 people just hated it.

RIP Fred Willard #ILikeTheFlyingMonkeys

And that is why MGM never made any films based on the other Oz Books (even "Oz the Great and Powerful.") Besides this is funny and if this was real I have never seen this clip but it looks new but in B&W and makes it look like an old movie.

The could've take more advantage on this fine comedians ...like Eugene Levy

2:11 Stifler’s mom in the 1930s! 😍😍😍

The problem I had with this skit is that it was just really long winded. I felt that it just dragged on and it wasted time. By the time it finished I wasn't thinking "Oh, what a funny skit!" but instead "IT'S FINALLY OVER." The idea itself is a great one for a skit, but I just felt it wasn't done very well :/

@rubymac52 Chris Guest.

The idea is to show the pointlessness of focus groups in movie reviews. This used to feed into making necessary edits on the film at the director's discretion. So FUNNY is not really the goal... the point is well communicated, I thought. And yeah, funny too.

@Brotherfease No, they're commenting on how much today's producers overuse focus groups to try and make movies, to the point of making mush nobody wants to see. Actually, a lot of these comments sound like Producer comments...

If that was really their point then they should realize that there's people at home watching who have no idea what they want them to conclude. I think it was just meant to be funny.

im so cool because im possibly the first comment on this particular video

They just need to follow the yellow path ... :P

If this were real the comments would be much funnier

Why is it the same comedic bunch that is used to represent Canadian humour i know Canada is sparsely populated but my Lord!.

@GalaxyFilmsOfficial Lol... No =D

@Brotherfease So you don't get it so it's elitist? talk about elitist.

I found this rather to be elitist. What's the message? The Academy is smarter than average folks, and knows what a good movie is?

Everything that the Oscars put in there has already been said by the audiences, so it's really not funny.

Willard struck me as being naturally lobotomised

@mickeymuse2, ok, but I still didn't think it was funny.

Honestly... Great idea, but it wasn't that funny...

This was crap.

Whoever wrote this was trying too hard and failed miserably. Talk about lame humor. The audience wasn't rolling in the aisles either. Back to the drawing board.

Wasn't funny at all. And it's a cop out to do a pre-recorded segment at the Oscars
