‘Les Miz’ spoof sweeps Oscar parody awards

“Les Misérables” may not sweep the Oscars, but a parody of it was the toast of spoof film awards the Toscars. “Miserable Lesbians” won a record eight Golden Fists, including best film. The ceremony, organized by Brits in LA, is for sendups of the movies nominated for Best Picture. Titles included “Breasts of the Southland Wild,” “Silver Whinings Payback” and “Stargo.” Actor Eric Roberts headed a judging panel at the Egyptian Theatre. A stage version of “Miserable Lesbians” written-directed by Sandro Monetti is coming to New York’s 59E59 Theatre in July. Monetti said, “I told Hugh Jackman and Helena Bonham Carter about it. Hugh asked who was playing him, and Helena asked if she could be in it.”
