These are the Dems who deserve an Oscar for the fake, all-an-act convention

New York Post Header

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week was one heck of a production. Less like a normal political convention and more like a glitzy Hollywood one.

With a host of A-list celebrities and B-list politicians, it felt most like the Oscars.

So in honor of this, the Academy would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week:

Best Actress โ€” Nancy Pelosi

There really was no competition in this category. Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without cracking.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi claimed that the Biden administration is one of the โ€œmost successful presidencies of modern timesโ€ during her remarks at the 2024 DNC on Aug. 21, 2024.Ron Sachs โ€“ CNP for NY Post

We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had โ€œestablished one of the most successful presidencies of modern times.โ€

And then put such emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband!

But the standout moment was her tribute to Biden. Only a few weeks ago, Pelosi went to see him and brutally ended his career, reportedly telling him he must either stop his run or get pushed out โ€œthe hard way.โ€

This week was always going to be a mountain for Nancy to climb. But she managed it

Her performance was second to none as she paid tribute to the man whose career she so recently ended.

She emoted. She praised. She licked her lips. And during Bidenโ€™s own performance, she could be seen enthusiastically waving a โ€œWe love Joeโ€ sign. It takes an actor of once-in-a-generation skill to do what Nancy did.

Best Supporting Actressย โ€”ย Hillary Clinton

The former first lady is a master of the supporting role. So it was inevitable that there would be artistry in her performance. And so it proved.

Who could fail to be impressed when she talked about the glass ceiling that she and Kamala had done so much to crack?

Or the way in which she held a smile even as she said that Kamala should be the first woman to make it to the Oval Office?
