I had some folks over to enjoy the Academy Awards in high definition. I printed up ballots to see who could guess the most winners. The prize: A small lamp.

But somehow I managed to guess 22 out of 24 awards correctly, so I'm stuck with the lamp.

I only missed best animated short (I thought the Dali thing would be a shoe-in) and adapted screenplay (I figured LOTR had to lose at least one category).

But more importantly, everone who came had a really good time. Danielle cooked up some treats, and I served my (almost) famous cocktail meatballs.
