After the King's Speech won multiple awards, it dawned on me that Ricky Gervais was correct when he said the key to winning an Oscar is doing a WW2 movie, preferably something about the Holocaust. Here are more tips for actors and actresses as they choose roles that are Oscar worthy:
1) Gain weight for your role
2) Lose weight for your role
3) If you're straight, play someone gay. ( gay actors have had to play straight for years, so this is not Oscar worthy)
4) Play someone who saves the world.
6) Play someone who likes to see the world burn.
7) Act mentally challenged. The closer you can be to being offensive without being offensive the better.
8) Learn a working class Boston accent.
Good luck and look forward to seeing you at next years' Oscars.
Please keep your acceptance speech short.

You forgot to add "If you are attractive, play someone unattractive." This rule is especially pertinent for actresses!
Well done Nandita. An excellent rule.
