 Bugs is stunned when the award goes instead to James Cagney (who had actually won in the previous year's ceremony, for Warner's "Yankee Doodle Dandy").Shock turns to anger as Bugs declares the results to be "sa-bo-TAH-gee" and demands a recount.Bugs then tries to make his case by showing clips from "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt" (which includes a clip of Hiawatha attempting to "cook" the rabbit) as proof of his allegedly superior acting (an inside joke, as the cartoon had actually been nominated for an Oscar and lost).
