FLASHBACK

Oscar Flashbacks

It just wouldn't seem like Academy Awards time without the annual trotting out of these classic Scribbles photos. So please, indulge us once again (or scroll past, we'll still love you...LOL)
  
I always laugh when I see the photo above. It was taken over 20 years ago when I lived on Capner Street and hosted my one and only "official" Oscars Party. Guests were encouraged to pretend they were movie stars, we had a contest to see who picked the most winners of the night and there was a container of soft items to throw at the TV screen when you didn't like who won or their speech was a tad too long.

And then there was that dreadful looking Academy Award statue I had attempted to create. It was a piece of crudely cut Styrofoam wrapped in tin foil and a pretty frightful site. A far cry from the recent Gramma's Grammy Awards party I recently hosted.

The party was a lot of silly fun and made the lengthy awards show seem to go by a lot quicker. In fact one happy guest told us this was the first time he actually watched the lengthy awards show in its entirety. I was pleased to know I had something to do with that.

 
Clearly a lot more thought and effort went into our Nova Scotia pal Angela Whiteley's Academy Awards party a few years ago, as we see below.


Her Oscar statuettes were stunning, her formally-dressed guests got to walk the red carpet when they arrived, champagne flowed and there were even faux lines of coke for her "stars" to snort while in the powder room. Now THAT'S Hollywood Baby!  LMAO!
