Google-fu is no good because I don't know enough what I'm searching
for. Maybe 8 years ago, an episode where there's a brief bit where
Lenny (I think, but it could be Carl!) is nominated for some Academy
Award-esque award. The bit shows the televised award show, with the
v.o. saying something like "There's a real buzz about Lenny this
year." with a cut to Lenny looking very serious, with his fingers
tented in front of his face, or else cupping his chin. It is a classic
visual and a great line. Would love to track it down. Please help!
Thanks!

It's from "The Mansion Family" (season 11), right near the start.

Homer: "This is my year, Marge! Everyone knows I'm what makes this
city great!"
Marge: "I don't know - there's a lot of buzz around Lenny."
They show Lenny with his hands together on his chin, his index fingers
together over his lips and pointing up towards his nose.

One of the most classic, most expressive poses I've seen on The
Simpsons.
