Frasier throws an exclusive Academy Awards-viewing party for various socialites, co-workers and members of the Seattle elite. Once all the guests have arrived in his condo, he announces that due to his personal dissatisfaction with this year’s crop of Oscar-nominated films, he’ll actually be performing his own ceremony tonight - “The Frasiers” - in which he’ll present custom-ordered award statues to his own hand-picked list of the year’s best films. Multiple guests attempt to flee, only to find the front door barred and caulked from the outside and the balcony railings electrified.

Niles has himself plated in edible gold leaf as a romantic Oscar Night surprise for Maris. She’s delighted when she finds him naked and standing on an obsidian plinth in their mansion, but when she retires to bed full and wheezing after a peeling off only a single bite, the timid doctor remains trapped on his pedestal all evening and is eventually hospitalized for skin suffocation.

Martin - hands wringing as he perches on the edge of his plush red seat in the Kodak Theatre - wins the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the estate of Frank Sinatra having selected his archived submission “She’s Such A Groovy Lady” for use in a prestigious biopic entitled Ol’ Blue-Eyes. Overcome with emotion as he takes the stage to accept the award, the old man makes a heartfelt speech tearfully thanking his sons for all their help in getting him to pursue this impossible dream. Frasier and all his guests miss the televised tribute as he’s in the middle of presenting yet another Frasier-shaped gold statuette to an unreleased foreign-language short film that he himself made.
