You know what would probably make the Oscars a lot more entertaining? Adding a category that for Best Performance By A Sandwich. Because, if you look back through cinematic history, sandwiches have played some very important roles, such as fake orgasm-inducer (When Harry Met Sally) and possible symbol of betrayal (Copland). Enjoy this collection honoring the finest celluloid performances from two pieces of bread, and take a moment to reflect the next time you stop at a deli for that turkey on rye.
Still hungry? Check out David Cross starring as a ham sandwich in David Green's new short, "Meltdown."
