oscars.

Standard

if you watched, didn’t watch, or sort of watched off and on

the oscars/academy awards aired last night.

i’m a huge fan of films of all kinds

and I thought

if they were really made out of chocolate

 if I were to ever win an oscar

it might be a very fleeting moment of fame for me

a challenge for the paparazzi 

as it would no longer exist after a few minutes

i’m a huge fan of chocolate of all kinds as well

but every nibble so worth it.

here is the only Oscar to have ever won an Oscar

Oscar Hammerstein II for his song, 

‘The Last Time I Saw Paris,’ in the movie, ‘Lady Be Good’ in 1941

 

‘there’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award,

and a lot movies that haven’t.

you just do the best you can.

we were an audience of six

(including the organ player)

at the beautiful michigan theatre

where we saw some amazing short films

thus proving once again that

sometimes less is more.
