AN: Only four people voted for the academy awards, so I'm going with what I got. One of the categories ended up with a 4-way tie so I'm going to go based on my experience writing the story. Also sorry for the lateness and rushiness of this chapter. I've been very busy with real life and working on other projects.

Chapter 15: Dressed Up Hollywood

***Recap***

Jane: Last time on Total Drama American Tour, Dakota lost everything he had to a bunch of gangbangers, and ended up comatose in a hospital. Luckily, he's okay now and is recovering in a much better hospital. Out hosts Chris and Chef also got arrested after a tip from a former contestant's father looking for his son. Let's hope they make it out okay.

Enough of that, the jury votes today so that a final winner can be decided. It's either going to be Southern Belle Sam or Cocky Flirt Josh. It's up to our seven jury members to vote for who they think should win Total Drama American Tour!

***Back to Game***

The taxis arrived with Samantha and Josh in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. The audience was already there cheering their favorite finalist. Everyone got situated as Jane started the show. "Good evening Total Drama American Tour Fans!"

Everyone screamed as loud as they could in a cheerful way.

"Before our lovely jury votes, we would like to give out some special awards for those who deserve them! Elijah will be helping me with the awards so hang tight as we get ready." Jane walked offstage and showed a montage of the show. The audience enjoyed every moment that was played in the montage as Jane came back with six golden clapboards.

"Hope you enjoyed that montage! Eli, if you'll please." Jane stepped down from the podium as Elijah went up to announce the first award. "The first award goes out to the best challenge. We have three nominations for this category. First off, the 'Hop on One Foot Challenge'…"

"ELI!" Jane interrupted. "That wasn't nominated at all! Say the right ones!"

"Fine. We have the 'Totem Pole Challenge', the 'Civil War Reenactment', and 'Stop Jake from Destroying Walt Disney World with his Evil Robots."

The audience laughed at the last title.

"And the winner is…" Elijah took his time opening up the envelope, and after finally breaking the seal, "That robot one!"

"We would give the clapboard to Jake," Jane added, "But he's still locked up in San Francisco. I guess I'll keep it."

"Hey!" Seeiah objected. "Why do you get to keep it?"

"I just do. Jake's not going to have it in prison is he?"

"Enough." Elijah continued the awards. "The next category is 'Best Elimination'. Once again, we have three nominees for this one." Elijah picked up the three cards. "First up, The Holly and Josh combo elimination in Denver. Next is the Xander Elimination in Bentonville, and third is the Seeiah elimination in Boston."

"Who nominated that?" Seeiah interrupted again.

"I don't come up with the nominations Seeiah."

"Well it had better not win."

"Let's find out shall we?" After opening up the second envelope, Elijah read the result. "Holly and Josh!"

"Well congratulations to both of you!" Jane said to them, "But I'm giving the clapboard to Holly since you're still in the game Josh!"

"Why does she get it?"

"I just told you."

"The third category is for the best couple. Seeing as we only had three couples on this show, I'll have to pick two nominations! Sorry Sam, but you didn't win."

"That's okay, Eli. I'm through with him."

"Well who's going to win this combined clapboard? Will it be Jasper and Leilene? Or will it be Holly and Josh? Stay tuned after the break!"

***Commercial*** (Recorded earlier)

Dr. Eggman: Welcome to the new and brightest amusement park in the universe! Built by yours truly, this amusement park is part of my apology for my many misdeeds in the world. In fact, I'll let some people talk about how awesome it is.

Chris McLean: You should totally check out Dr. Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park! He let me host a season there!

Dr. Eggman: Come one come all! I've got rides for everyone!

(A jingle plays)

***Back to Show***

Elijah and Jane walked back onto the stage to announce the winner. "The winner of best couple is…Jasper and Leilene!"

Jasper and Leilene gave each other a big hug before walking up to the podium. An audience member heckled, 'speech!' right before them.

"Thank you." Jasper said, feeling a little shy in front of the massive audience.

"Thank you bruthas and sistahs!" Leilene prepared to give a nice speech in front of the massive audience, however, the microphone lost power just as she was about to say another sentence. "Hello? Tech peeps?"

The technical staff was sitting on stage right, sleeping and not hearing a word Leilene was saying. Jane walked over and woke them up. "What?"

"Our mic broke."

"Well fix it."

"You're the tech guy. You fix it!"

The tech guy went on stage and fixed the wiring, allowing Leilene to give a speech better than the one she gave in Washington. The audience cheered as her and Jasper sat down. Jane went back onstage to announce the next award. "Next up is our best male character award. This time, Lucas will announce the nominees."

Jane gave the microphone to Lucas who went up an announced the nominees. "I still don't know why I'm not on this list but here we go. First up is Jasper. I don't know why anyone would vote for him since he's so boring. We also have Jake. He's a crazy asshole who loves to blow airplanes up for fun, and finally Logan, who should know when his friends betray him. Come on, guy, all of us knew Dakota was the bad guy. Even Chris admitted it."

"I wasn't aware of that." Josh interrupted.

"Neither was I." Michelle added.

"How'd you know all of this?" Josh was starting to get suspicious.

"Ever since Washington, idiots. We at the aftermaths also had the luxury of Xander and Elijah telling us after they were voted off. It was all thanks to Chris that he manipulated Dakota into working for him and that led Elijah to that witch hunt that got him voted off."

"What about Logan? He started it!" Xander objected.

"Everyone stop!" Jane interrupted the arguing. "The show's over. It doesn't matter anymore. Lucas. Show everyone who won the award."

"Fine. The best male contestant goes to…Logan."

"Wow! I won!" Logan was filled with joy as he went up to get his clapboard from Jane, knowing Lucas wouldn't give him one. Logan gave a short speech and sat down.

"Next up is the best female contestant. We'll let Tonia read the nominees."

Jane gave the microphone to Tonia as she went up to the podium to announce the three nominees. "We have Michelle, Samantha, and Leilene as our choices. Let's find out who won!" Tonia slowly opened up the envelope, and within moments she knew the winner. "Michelle!"

"Yay! I won! I knew I could do it!" Michelle went up to the podium to give a speech about her experience on the show, and then sat down after receiving her clapboard from Jane.

Jane went back up to the podium to announce the next award. "And now for two more awards. First up is out best episode award. I will announce the five nominees. We have, The City by the Bay Part 2, Big Apple, Big Dreams, Total Drama Corporate Takeover, Yesterday, Tomorrow, Fantasy, and a Giant Golf Ball, and wait a minute. Detroit 487 is not supposed to be here. Eli!"

"What! I loved that one!" Elijah laughed sarcastically at the list.

"Scratch that. We only have four nominees. Drum roll please!" A drummer offstage does a snare drum roll as Jane opens the envelope. "The winner of Best Episode of TDAT is…not Big Apple Big Dreams."

The audience gasped and seemed disappointed. One heckler even yelled out "Screw this! We want to know the winner already!"

Jane tried to defend herself. "Okay okay. It's YTF whatever."

On the monitor, additional scenes from Orlando played as the audience watched them and remembered the nostalgic moments. After the show was over, Jane announced one last award. "This award goes to the Best Host of Total Drama Ever. Even though he is in jail right now in Pasadena, we all want to show our love and respect for…"

"Chris McLean sucks and you all suck for liking him, eh?" A familiar voice in the audience shouted out as he rushed towards the stage. It was Ezekiel.

"Security?" Jane was threatened, as well as the entire cast as Ezekiel ran for the podium. Security was nowhere to be seen, as the parking lot was starting to catch fire from an unknown assailant.

When Zeke finally reached the stage, he gave out his long spiel.

Chris McLean is the worst television host ever. He has tortured all of us relentlessly, gave himself everything and his players nothing, only cared for himself and didn't even consider the feelings of anyone on his show. He abused his chef, made hum become a transvestite for laughs…"

Ezekiel continued talking for another straight two hours about how he was the most abused of the contestants during his run, and how Chris deserved to die.

The audience was left speechless after that speech as Ezekiel went back to his seat to sit next to Trent and Tyler. "How'd the fire stunt go?"

"Worked out. Can't believe we got Duncan to do that." Trent snickered softly.

"It was easy guys." Tyler added. "Ever since that community service order, Duncan works for us now."

The stage was cleared off completely as the TDAT contestants went backstage to prepare for the jury vote. Jane went back out front to address the audience. "Soon, our jury will be voting. Their results will be hidden until they are finished. Stay tuned for about fifteen minutes as a final winner is decided on Total Drama American Tour!"

AN: VERY IMPORTANT! Jury members need to vote for a winner. Samantha and Josh are your choices. The jury consists of Leilene, Jasper, Holly, Logan, Michelle, Jake, and Dakota. Whoever receives the most votes will be the winner of TDAT and receive the million dollar prize. The three day voting rule still applies, even if I take longer than three days to post the winner. In case of a tie, I'll try to represent that character in the tiebreaker.
