The 10th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special aired on Sunday, March 12, 2023 on HEI Network, and celebrated The King of Movies, Gregg Turkington. Tim Heidecker returned as host, with guests Joe Estevez, Mark Proskch, G. Amato, Kaili Amato, Axiom, Manuel Giusti, "Dudley Moore", and more.

The special starts with a rousing musical tribute to Gregg by Tim, “All Hail the King”, complete with dancers. After the intro, Tim gives an ode to Gregg before introducing him out on stage. Gregg comes out with a crown and robe on, and states his pleasure with Tim finally focusing on the movies. Tim notes the audience here, including various members of The Amato Group, Gregg's associates at amc, and Axiom and Manuel Giusti. Tim notes Axiom and Manuel are there for Gregg rather than him, noting that Dekkar is currently on hiatus. Gregg is happy at the thought of no Dekkar performances. Tim gifts Gregg two tickets to Bombadil, a musical based off a cut character from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to be played by James Corden. Gregg gifts Tim back the flash drive containing the footage of the VFA Tours Van bus crash, stating that he can get rid of it and we can finally move on.

Tim notes tonight is also has a tribute to Pinocchio due to the two excellent movies released in 2022, with Gregg noting that he heard that four more Pinocchio movies would come out in 2023. foreign films, like banshee of irish, removed from contention so they can be nominated at home. tar removed because tar is a nickname of avatar and people got fooled. elvis not going to win because it is under 120 mins. spielberg not getting hte win, top gun 2 and avatar 2 likely to win due to being sequels. avatar 2 is going to win because its longer. gregg predicts members of the marvel creative team will appear on stage when avatar 2, revealing that avatar will be a part of the MCU. tim annoyed that the whale ripped off whaleman, gregg notes how much hollywood had ripped off decker and they continue to rip tim and gregg off. 2023 is the year of 80 for brady, book club 2 also coming out might uhh… gregg sent a letter to the director of the movie noting jane fonda best supporting actress two oscars im in a rut

Tim announces that G. Amato has agreed to an interview later in the special about what happened regarding the HEI Ranch and grainwater. His only stipulation was that LaRue would not be allowed in the special, Tim agrees, considering him not useful anymore. The first “amatolotto” segment is teased, before going to break.

Tim notes that this year is the 20th anniversary of Pinocchio 3000, with Gregg noting it's a great movie to watch during “lesser” holidays. Tim talks to Hank Friedmann and his new venue, Tom's Original Chili, based off the late Tom Chaplin's original recipe. Hank is serving Wild Hogs Chili (titled after the movie) and chili-flavored popcorn, which Gregg immediately states his dislike for. The first “Amato Lotto” drawing is called, with Kaili Amato pulling numbers out of an incredibly loud lottery machine: 35, 64, 36, 11, 78, 56, 72, 54, 43, and 67. Joe Estevez comes out to pay tribute to Gregg, noting his regret in not being involved more in Deck of Cards. Gregg then presents his vision of a world where Elvis Presley was still alive and still making movies, with Mark Proksch portraying Elvis in such roles like Han Solo, Superman, Inspector Clouseau, Tom Hanks' role in Sleepless in Seattle, Steve Martin's role in Father of the Bride, and Henry Fonda's role in On Golden Pond. Mark tries his best but seems to be unaware of who Inspector Clouseau is, with Tim and Gregg both trying to help. Mark also struggles with portraying the Seattle, Bride, and Pond roles. Gregg attempts to save the segment by getting Mark to portray Elvis as wcfields or a character in 80 for Brady, but Mark continues to fail. Tim ends the segment, with both him and Gregg chastising him for his lack of studying, Gregg noting that he had sent all these films to Mark in the weeks prior. Kaili presents her first “oscarminute” segment, summarizing the plots of prior Star Wars movies. Gregg calls the segment fantastic, not aware there was a “second buff” in the room. Gregg announces the vfn, the Victorville Film Network, a new streaming serivce launching later in the night once the bugs are worked out.

• The set is themed all around Gregg, featuring:
  • A “red carpet” made out of Gregg's VHS tapes that Gregg quickly notices is damaging his tapes whenever anyone, especially the high-heeled dancers, walks on it

• This was the last production for On Cinema before being forced to go on hiatus during both the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. VFA Expert Hollywood Tour released afterwards, but was taped prior.
• Gregg briefly breaks when Tim drops the cake on top of all the tapes.
