What's Cookin' Doc? (1944)

*** (out of 4)

Entertaining short has Warner Brothers spoofing the Oscars as Bugs Bunny shows up to the award ceremony to pick up a trophy but instead he's beaten by James Cagney. After losing he demands a re-count and shows a clip from his film HIAWATHA'S RABBIT HUNT. Overall this is a nice little film, although there's no doubt that it's far from a classic and doesn't rank as one of the best Bugs shorts. I say that because the film shown within this film is actually so much better and we only get one brief clip from it. With that said, Bugs does give a good impersonation of a few legends like Edward G. Robinson and that alone makes this worth watching.

Trivia
When Bugs tosses the reels of his best scenes to the projectionist, he calls out "Okay, Smokey. Roll 'em." This is most likely a reference to Henry Garner, the cameraman and projectionist for the Leon Schlesinger studio, who was nicknamed Smokey.

The front page of The Hollywood Blah announcing the "Academy Award banquet to-night" is dated November 1, 1943. The Awards were actually held on March 4 in 1943. The next Awards, held on March 2, 1944, were the first not to feature a banquet.
