The 82nd Academy Awards Are Nearly Upon Us!
Today is the day … Hollywood’s biggest party takes place at The Kodak Theater in Hollywood, CA for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and the finishing touches are taking place at Hollywood and Highland to prepare the way for the big to-do. The forecast this week has been for rain today but as I type these words, the beauteous sun is shining thru my window … teasing that Hollywood may avoid the rain today? Even still, the folks who put together the Oscars are taking no chances and have erected a huge tent to cover the entire red carpet … just in case:
Many of the Academy Award nominees are gettin’ ready for the big night RIGHT NOW as they start putting together their red carpet looks, make last minute changes to their hopeful acceptance speeches and (very likely) are wringing their hands with nervous anticipation. I know who I’m picking for Oscar wins this year … and very soon, we’ll know which actors and actresses gave the best performances of the year, which director gave us HER or his best work and which film will be named the BEST PICTURE of the year. Living in LA, it’s hard not to get sucked into the excitement. David and I will be meeting up with members of The Turtle Party: Book Club this evening to watch the Academy Awards together before we hold our monthly book club meeting … it shall be a blast.
It shant be long now! The 82nd Academy Awards will be handed out in mere hours … are you ready?
