I’ve always said if you want to win an Academy Award, you have to star in a movie about someone with a severe impairment.

In the inauguration itself there were Lady Gaga, with her golden microphone and in-ear monitors singing the “Star-Spangled Banner”; Jennifer Lopez‘s medley of “This Land Is Your Land” and “America the Beautiful,” stopping to pick up “Let’s Get Loud” on the way; and Garth Brooks’ hatless solo “Amazing Grace.” Donald Trump’s 2016 inaugural events managed to field Tony Orlando, Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave...
