22	''Little Gold Statue'' is a special that breaks from the show's format of B-Movies to talk about better films, specifically the 1995 Oscar Nominees. Unlike the later Sci-Fi specials, Mike and and Bots don't riff on the movie clips, but Crow and Servo introduce the clips proper.
23
24	!!The Segments:
25	[[AC:Segment 1]]
26	* Crow and Servo introduce the special with Best Make-Up to ''Mary Shelley's Frankenstein'', with a pre-recorded interview with Creator/KennethBranagh. The two Bots move on to Best Picture, ''Four Weddings and a Funeral'', with a horrifying clarification from Mike. They also announce that [[Creator/EdwardAsner Ed Asner]] would be appearing, not Mike in costume. They move on to Best Actress and pick Best Director by using the nominees' looks, which leads to much swooning to their choice.
27
28	[[AC:Segment 2]]
29	* Crow and Servo show another Best Picture nominee, ''Forrest Gump'', much to Servo's disgust. They then move on to Best Costume with ''Queen Margot'', with disdain to the Frenchiness and ''Pricilla: Queen of the Desert'', perfect for the average gay Joe. The two call up Gypsy for some interviews, but she is only live in her room. Best Song is next, with Music/EltonJohn, described as "an intense creature" by an interviewee, and a gross out clip from ''Junior''. With no other clips from the film, Crow and Servo sing.
30
31	[[AC:Segment 3]]
32	* They move to another Best Picture nominees, with ''Quiz Show'' and Best Screenplay with ''Red'' and ''Heavenly Creatures''. They show another Best Actress nominee with ''Little Women'', with Crow's protests of a chick flick and ''Blue Sky'', proclaiming this year as the year of the mental woman.
33
34	[[AC:Segment 4]]
35	* Ed Asner appears on the bridge, with Mike in costume, and an attempt with a look at ''Hoop Dreams''. Then on to ''Pulp Fiction'', with Creator/JohnTravolta's ego and the film's foul language [[CrossesTheLineTwice and recommending it as fun for the whole family]].
36
37	!!The special provides examples of:
38	* AbstractScale: Crow and Servo judge "Best Director" judging the nominates' looks. When Creator/RobertRedford is chosen, the two Bot describe him [[EatingTheEyeCandy in detail]].
39	* BerserkButton: "[[Film/ForrestGump Life is like a box of chocolates]]" manages to ''severely'' piss Tom off.
40	* CallBack: The song that plays during the Robert Redford montages is "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E23VillageOfTheGiants The Greatest Frank of All]]".
41	* CaptainObvious: Here's Tom and Crow's take on ''Film/QuizShow'':
42	-->'''Tom''': When you look at all the movies nominated for Best Picture, ''Quiz Show'' is one of them.
43	-->'''Crow''': ''Quiz Show'' featured actors acting, a plot, and an outcome. Let's watch.
44	** Later, Crow delights us with some Oscar trivia:
45	--->'''Crow''': Did you know that, for the ''very first year'' in Oscar history, ''Pulp Fiction'' was nominated along with ''four other nominees'' that have ''never'' been nominated before?
46	* CutShort: The ''Hoop Dreams'' clip, much to Crow and Tom's (and Mike's) displeasure.
47	* DamnedByFaintPraise: Tom and Crow declare ''Film/PulpFiction'' will win Best Picture based solely on how morally reprehesible they find it.
48	* ADayInTheLimelight: This is essentially Crow and Tom's episode. Mike appears a few times, but only has a few lines, and Gypsy is a voice-only [[TheCameo cameo]].
49	* EpicFail: At one point, Crow and Tom try and go to Gypsy doing live interviews in the field. In actually, they get Gypsy doing live Pop Tart-cookings in her room... alone.
50	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Robert Redford for Crow and Tom.
51	* ImplausibleDeniability: Throughout the special, Crow and Servo announce that Creator/EdAsner would be arriving, not Mike Nelson in costume.
52	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Tom and Crow are notably confused with the ''Film/FourWeddingsAndAFuneral'' clip, wondering what Andie [=MacDowell=]'s character was talking about (in regards to her counting her previous "experiences"). [[{{Squick}} And then Mike comes in to clarify...]]
53	* PaperThinDisguise: Mike's Ed Asner costume is him with "Ed Asner" written on a name tag.
54	* RunningGag: In all segments, Crow and Servo are eating something while introducing the movie clips.
55	* SomethingWeForgot: TheStinger in ''spades''.
56	* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Subverted: Crow doesn't realize at first that they are using clips from ''pre-recorded'' interviews, and as such gets mad that Creator/KennethBranagh seemingly would rather discuss themes instead of make-up.
57	* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of the special, Mike is very obviously upset over how the special went.
58	-->'''Mike''': What the heck was this about, anyway?!
59
60	----
61	->'''Crow''': [[TheStinger Oh, and we forgot to mention]] ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption''[[TheStinger [='=]s nominated for best picture too!]]
62	->'''Servo:''' [[MotorMouth It's a story of a shawshank that gets redeemed and it's really good and we think it'll win goodbye!]]
