He is one of those people who
Has a recognizable face…
But a forgettable name
He is always cast in a lesser
Role compared to the others
He is a facet on the gem called fame
When recalling the theme of the movie
He is referred to as an integral
Person who is supportive in each frame
His remarkable talent is overlooked
The academy ignores his gleaming merit
Mr. Who Done It? …has no claim
Although he has no invitation to the gala
He tunes in, watching the awards
By a flickering glow all the same
And in the next category the following
Are nominated in a leading role…
Clapping hands approve the popular claim
There is no category for 'what’s his face'
His notoriety did not make an appearance
His cemented star is yet to be gained
