Rainn Wilson to host ‘Spirit Awards’
I make it rain on them hoes I make it rain,(I make It rain)
Rainn Wilson, star of NBC’s “The Office” and the best part about box-office bomb “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” is supposedly going to be showing his ass tonight in some comedy sketches he taped that will on the Spirit Awards.
“The Spirit Awards“, the psuedo-Oscars of independent film will be hosted by Rainn Wilson who said:
“When I signed up I said, ‘I’m not a standup comedian. I’m happy to tell jokes and stuff but it’s not really what I do. And you know, they were like, ‘Great, let’s film some stuff and make it close to what you did when you hosted “Saturday Night Live.”‘ That’s kind of what we’re aiming for — just funny comedy stuff. I assure you, I make an (idiot) of myself. My (butt) is actually revealed a couple of different times, so if anyone’s curious about what my (butt) might look like …. I don’t know why they would be. It’s all for a laugh. My body being exposed is good for a great deal of laughs. They use it on ‘The Office’ quite a bit when they need a laugh — they have me take my shirt off.”
The Spirit Awards, sponsored by Film Independent airs on February 23rd on IFC (a night before the live Oscars telecast.) The show will be broadcast live, uncut and without commercials. Javier Bardem, Cate Blanchett, Josh Hartnett, Forest Whitaker and Kate Beckinsale are confirmed to attend.
The Spirits and Academy Awards are so different in tone and feel, Wilson adds:
“It’s non-glitz-and-glam so the stars get to be themselves. It’s on a beach in a tent in Santa Monica so it’s more freewheeling. There’s no time limit as to how long people can talk,” he said. “It’s kind of a ramshackle, crazy awards show that’s really about cutting-edge cinema, and it’s really for movie fans and actor fans.”
