Friday night’s “Key & Peele Super Bowl Special” on Comedy Central takes on Hollywood’s version of the Big Game.
The comedic duo of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele reprise their roles as Seattle Seahawks’ Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman (as seen in their “East/West Bowl” sketches) for an NFL press conference on a nontraditional topic: the Academy Awards.
Sherman can’t help but rant about Ava DuVernay’s Oscar snub for best director. After all, her Civil Rights drama “Selma” was nominated for best picture. On that note, why did Bennett Miller get a director nom if “Foxcatcher” was going to be left out of the best picture race, he asks, marveling at the “backwards” Academy.
Lynch, on the other hand, doesn’t have much to contribute as he repeated the phrase “biscuits and gravy” over and over again.
