She’d Like to Thank the Academy.»

It’s the one award ceremony that I watch religiously every year, so no six-hour time difference was going to deter me from another Oscar experience last night. Although forced to make my appearance unconventionally (through Skype), I too made it to the Kodak Theathre. Fashionably late by just a few minutes,  I’ll acknowledge, but I’ll say I’m getting better. And what a night it turned out to be. I had heads turning (literally).

I humbly accepted my first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role…or maybe that was Melissa Leo? Either way, “Melissa” made Oscar history, being the first to drop “the F-bomb” in an acceptance speech. Inappropriate on a professional level? Perhaps. But her humor and whit buffed it well.

Melissa’s may not be graceful, but they sure have charm— And boy do we know this well!
