February 22 - The Academy Awards


The wreath on the door welcomes friends to Oscar Night.  


This year we had a pot luck.  Tons of food came through the door and lots and lots of Prosecco.  Yes you need bubbly for Oscar night.  All were kept busy in the evening with Oscar Bingo (Debbie won the Bingo!!!), Guess that Smile, Name That Movie not to mention we also had to predict winners of awards.

Of course, we had swag bags to begin with.  This year everyone contributed so no one knew what the contents were ...  and the contents ranged from blingy nail polish, a priceless spa (hot tub night), a movie, lip balm, a quartz heart, chocolate, popcorn, facial scrub, a wee perfume and a pink sharpie ... did I forget anything??  There was so much!



Best Picture:  Birdman (heard mixed reviews)
Best Actor in Leading Role:  Eddie Redmayne (YEAHHHHHHH)
Best Actress in Leading Role:  Julianne Moore

Great friends, great food, great program (even though it went 45 minutes over time), great evening.
