Light Entertainment Awards is a sketch that appears in "Grandstand," the thirty-ninth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis[]

The award show is overseen by HRH The Dummy Princess Margaret. The host Dickie Attenborough (Eric Idle) emotionally presents the remains of Sir Alan Waddle to read the nominations. His ashes are placed upon a plinth as Attenborough weeps with honour.

Waddle's voice (Michael Palin) reads the nominations: Edward Heath for the New Suit sketch, Richard Baker for Lemon Curry, and the Third Parachute Brigade Amateur Dramatic Society for the Oscar Wilde Sketch.
