After the success of "The Food Fight," Michael Carter and Abby O'Donovan desperately wanted to do a serious movie, to prove that they were real actors and not just comedy stars. Michael and Abby both dreamed of winning an Oscar, and set about to find the perfect vehicle for their talents.
Michael came up with the idea of starring in a biopic of Sonny Clay, the late African-American jazz pianist whose tour of Australia in 1928 became highly controversial due to the dalliances he and his bandmates had with white Australian women. The role offered everything; a chance to show off his musical talent (Carter loved to play the piano in his spare time), a chance to comment on race relations, a chance to have another hot love scene with Abby, this time within the context of a drama. (Abby would play Nora, a young white Australian woman Sonny falls in love with).
Michael and Abby spent weeks researching and writing the script, and decided that Emma Clancy would again be best suited to direct. They hired Tommy Wilkins to play Jack Washington, a member of Clay's band, and spent six weeks filming in Sydney and Melbourne. Michael and Tommy were constantly aroused by the beautiful Aussie women around them, although they never even thought of fooling around; their big black cocks were loyal to Abby and Emma's sexy white pussies.
First Fleet Pictures, which was worried about how successful a Sonny Clay biopic would be, were relieved when they saw Emma's cut; Michael, Abby and Tommy delivered fantastic performances, and the First Fleet execs were confident that the film had Oscar potential. After a few minor edits, "Sonny Clay" was ready to be released; First Fleet decided to once again go for a Christmas Day release.
"Sonny Clay" was hailed as an instant classic, and the Oscar buzz for the performances and the film became real. Michael, Abby, Tommy and Emma were enthusiastic participants in First Fleet's Oscar campaign; the two handsome black men and their beautiful Australian girlfriends were thrilled by the thought of a big win on Oscar night.
The Oscar ceremonies took place on February 28; that night, "Sonny Clay" dominated, winning Academy Awards for Best Picture (shared by Michael and Abby as co-producers), Best Director (Emma), Best Actor (Michael), Best Actress (Abby), Best Supporting Actor (Tommy) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Michael and Abby). Their acceptance speeches were filled with sexual puns; Abby noted that Michael played the piano for real during filming and was "quite good with his instrument," while Michael joked that Abby insisted that "Sonny Clay" be filmed in her home country because "she likes it in the Outback."
Entertainment reporters were stunned when the Oscar ceremony ended and Michael, Abby, Tommy and Emma seemingly disappeared, skipping all of the major Oscar after-parties and even some of the minor ones too. None of the reporters thought to check the Gramercy Hotel in LA...
