The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo I got to "accept" an Oscar on my tour of Warner Bros. studios two days ago...
It's cool. I've never had an Oscar in my hand. But on the studio tour they have a staffer in soft white gloves handing to people as they passed by and wanted to have their photo taken of the event. My daughter took the pic.
Naturally, I said "I'd like to thank the Academy."
P.S. they are heavier than I thought...
