Usually my daughter comes over to watch Oscars with me. This year she had a conflict with the date so my husband suggested we go to a party. I am glad we did.
Althought no one dressed up the house was decorated with Oscar decor...I have no idea where they have found all the decorations but apparently it has grown over the years. They stick with gold and black for colors and have many posters scattered around to remind one of not only current films but old classics. There were two huge rooms set up for viewing and one boasted two tv's and the main room had a large screen so we could watch in style. It was fun being part of a totally unashamed group of Hollywood film lovers. There were hoots of laughter created by Billy Crystal and some gasps as surprise winners were announced...and yes we love the glitz and glamour but folks were mainly glued to the film clips and what a fun night.
Food was offered non stop in the kitchen where a buffet was set up and one could get up during commercials and grab a snack or drink....some folks chose to stay in their seats as movie trivia with prizes was being played. As we entered the home our picture was snapped and we will be pasted onto a Hollywood star of fame and displayed in next year's festivities.
I won a door prize...a Bugs Bunny coffee mug and Mike won a Planet Hollywood shot glass.....fun way to spend a dark rainforest evening with good company.
I was surprised to see Ms. Streep win but didn't she deserve it? What a Woman!
