I indulged in a brief daydream today.
I imagined that one year from today,
Alex Gibney's HBO documentary, "Going Clear,"
already having been nominated for an Academy Award, was to
actually WIN the Oscar for Best Documentary.
The daydream continued with Tom Cruise and a very svelte Kirstie Alley
being the presenters and addressing the audience.
(But rather than it being a moment of excruciating discomfort, Tom flashes his trademark smile and says to Kirstie,)
"You know, my involvement in that crazy cult cost me two marriages, a big chunk of my career, and the respect of millions of fans."
(To which Kirstie replies,) "Tom, it cost me my marriage to Parker Stevenson, on top of which I became the worst kind of yo-yo dieter,
because I believed I was infested with fat, dead space aliens,
not to mention my becoming one of the biggest toilet mouthes in all of Hollywood."
"And the Oscar goes to... ...Alex Gibney...for "Going Clear!"
(And the three of them stroll off the stage to thunderous applause, their arms locked together)
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
