Whamo

He was just fulfilling his own wish. From his 2005 Oscar's monologue:

Now, I love the Oscars. Do you know why I love the Oscars?

Because the Oscars are the only show, the only awards show, where the people getting awards don’t perform. That’s right, there’s no acting at the Oscars. None at all.

You go to the Grammys, there’s singing. You go to the Tony Awards, they are singing and dancing. You go to the Source Awards, they are singing, dancing and shooting. Okay? But there’s no acting at the Oscars at all.

Can I get a little acting? Just a “To Be or Not To Be?” or Morgan Freeman doing a shampoo commercial? Something!
