"In this tyre-screeching 42nd episode of Tomboy Tirade, the Tomboy Tarts, Persis and Raven, are planning to illegally gate-crash the Oscar Odyssey Awards, a cheaper, China-made version of the Academy Awards, with their friends and accomplices from Canberra, Australia, the Silver Screen Queens, Katie Malloy and Melissa Savage."

Persis and Raven travel in style in Ellen Degeneres’ limo to the awards venue.

Along the way, Persis reveals that Ellen Degeneres’ limo is packed full of surprises, from a built-in toilet to a mobile vet clinic run by every animal’s favourite doc, Dr Doolittle who lives in one of the limo’s glove boxes.

As the Tomboy Tarts approach the awards venue, paparazzi are gathering all over the place but thanks to their crazy limo driver, Nitro’s stunt-driving skills, the girls manage to evade them.

Not surprisingly, Raven gets car sick and pukes all over the place, just as they discover that the Silver Screen Queens were already at the awards, trying to sneak in, quite unsuccessfully backstage and are now on the run from security.

Nitro screeches off and manages to eventually drop the girls off at a quieter part of the awards venue parking lot at Backstage D before unexpectedly getting into a hit and run with Nightcrawler, Jake Gyllenhall and an angry cat.

To avoid being caught, they escape, unseen backstage where they shred the month’s Oscar news and controversies from the surprisingly lack of diversity in this year’s Academy Awards to the increasing Americanisation of the awards resulting in the dearth of appreciation of films from the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and Asia in the main categories of awards.

After that, Persis trawls the backstage corridors to get an interview with Sanif Olek, whose film ‘Sayang Disayang’ was Singapore’s official Foreign Film entry in this year’s Academy Awards. Sanif reveals how the film was made, his challenges while making it and the inspiration behind the film.

After that, it’s time for Persis to rejoin Raven, Melissa and Kate at the awards show as they review some of the nominees in the main categories of the awards this year before it all goes to pots when Dr Doolittle, who escapes his glove-box veterinary clinic and takes over the wheels of Nitro’s limo, gatecrashes the awards show, while accepting his award.

Who crashes and burns during this star-studded ceremony? Well, you’ll have to tune in and find out, won’t you?
