The Orson Awards is an episode from the third season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis[]
Orson hosts an award show.
Plot[]
The 32nd annual Orson Awards are approaching, and everyone is excited, except for Wade. He is scared of winning and having to give a speech or losing and feeling humiliated. Orson hurries to the show but encounters his brothers, who threaten him to give them an award.
As the ceremony begins, Orson presents the first category: Best Chicken/Rooster in a Supporting Role. Roy is confident he will win, but Booker and Sheldon win in a tie. Wade considers attending the ceremony but hesitates upon learning Orson's brothers will be there. Bo wins the award for Best Barnyard Art Design, noting he also won last year.
Desperate to win, Roy disguises himself as Orson, ties up the real Orson, and takes over as host. He presents the final category: Best Performance by a Character on the Show. When he discovers Wade is the actual winner, Roy announces himself as the winner instead. Orson's brothers, believing Roy is Orson, attack him and chase him out.
The real Orson returns and announces Wade as the winner. Initially too scared to attend, Wade reveals himself to accept the award. Overcoming his fears, Wade delivers a long acceptance speech.
