(HOLLYWOOD, CA) —Tensions between North Korea and the U.S. rose to a frighteningly new high this week, after the hyperbolic outpouring of grief of the rogue Communist state to Kim Jong Il's death put it in direct competition with President Obama for an Academy Award for Best Actor, according Hollywood's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Thursday.
The thunderously theatrical hysterics of supposedly millions of inconsolable North Koreans have been televised around the world since December 19th, after state-run North Korean TV announced the “Dear Leader’s” demise. The bombastic boo-hoos of average citizens of the infamously impoverished nation (all of whom coincidentally appearing well dressed, well-fed and middle-class; hence the great affects communism has on a nation, as everyone knows) were a worldwide spectacle. But for members of Oscar nominating committee, North Korea’s reaction to Kim Jong Il’s death has unwittingly placed it as the lead contender for an Academy Award this coming February.
“There’s no denying it, their acting has just been so good!” said Tom Sherak, President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Thursday. “I know Barack Obama was in the top spot for Best Actor this year, but this amount of collective wailing, on cue, no less..? This performance 
by (North Korea) cannot go unnoticed.”
The AMPAS said Thursday that the entire nation of North Korea now stands as the lead contender for an academy award for Best Actor of 2011. However, Sherak added that the regime has yet to respond to the news of its nomination, let alone designated whom it may send to the Academy Awards in two months.
“Of course we would love for Kim Jong Il’s son to show up for the ceremony. But we honestly don’t know who they’ll choose,” said Sherak to Duh Progressive Thursday. “If they do send Kim Jong-Il’s son, they’d have to send an huge amount of security along with (Jong-un), because you never know, he might try to defect, too!”
North Korea’s Best Actor buzz has exacerbated tensions between it and the U.S., as President Barack Obama had been considered a shoo-in to win Best Actor for his role as an incredibly important yet vastly overrated man who hasn’t the slightest clue what the fuck he is doing (an undoubtedly meaty role demanding nomination, claims the Academy).
“I think it is palpable this nomination of North Korea for its tremendous acting job this week has dampered the President’s chances of winning Best Actor next year,” said a somber White House Press Secretary James Carney during Thursday’s briefing. “Mr. Obama hasn’t been running around the country pretending to know what the fuck he is doing for nothing, you know? We had really hoped he would finally clench that Oscar this year.”
However Obama and the anguish-oozing North Koreas still face other challengers for Best Actor. Highly rumored to join the Best Actor nominees is former presidential candidate Herman Cain, for his 
role as a successful black CEO and charismatic talk show host who believed he could somehow magically morph all of that into someone fit for the most important office in the world, and making a fleetingly flashy go of it to boot.
Said AMPAS’s Tom Sherak, “Mr. Cain may have to settle for Best Supporting Actor of 2011. After all, he did honestly believe someone can run for the highest office in the land, yet somehow keep all of these sexual allegations and unflattering encounters hidden from the public. He actually believed that was possible! Now if that doesn’t deserve an Oscar, I don’t know what does!”
Other Academy Award contenders for Best Actor include business tycoon Donald Trump, for believing he owns the Academy Awards and is the newest leader of North Korea; Newt Gingrich, for his role as a man conflicted over which populist statement will get him in front of the next TV camera the fastest, and surprisingly “Bo,” the Obama family dog, for his role as simple, inconspicuous canine, yet somehow smarter and more competent than all of those previously mentioned (which still isn't saying much).
