Stan Lee makes case for an Oscar

Yesterday, we shared a little video from one of our favorite content sites and today we got a nice email from Funny or Die telling us about their latest original ditty just in time for the Oscars.

It's a plea from comic book God and part time cameo actor Stan Lee. He passionately pleads his case for the inclusion of a new category recognizing these hard-working, mostly nameless thespians who share their craft not for the almighty dollar, but instead for the sole purpose of making the project the best that it can be.

And while Stan Lee mostly cameos in comic book movies (primarily - if not solely the ones that he created long ago), my all-time favorite cameo was his first in Kevin Smith's Mallrats. Now, if that cameo doesn't win an Oscar, no cameo ever will!

What did you think? Yay or nay? Don't forget that the Oscars are this Sunday (March 7) on ABC.
