I wish I was an Oscar statue winner…
I wish I was an Oscar statue winner….
That is what I truly long to be…ee..ee…
For if I was an Oscar statue winner…
Everyone would be in love with me.

The presentation of the Academy Awards presents an opportunity for us to take a breather from the gloom and doom of Ponzi schemes and shattered Wall Street dreams. Hollywood Boulevard is a place where dreams can be forever magical. Movies are the stuff of fantasy and we can retreat into that blissful time warp with the click of a button…
I’m preparing myself by reading 80 Years of the Oscar - the Official History of the Academy Awards (Abbeville Press) by Robert Osborne. What a book!
It must weigh 10 pounds. It’s all here, a film lover’s dream. The stories. The movies. The stars. I’m starting to forget about all that bad stuff.
Now all I need are some snacks, some popcorn, candied almonds, a soft drink, and a hot dog. I gotta have a hot link! Ahhhhh, Hollywood.
