There Will Be Oscar

I threw an Oscar party last night, and this was the menu:

• The “Corporate Ambition” cocktail (Prosecco and St. Germain elderflower liqueur), in honor of Michael Clayton
• Tidbits fried in oil, in honor of There Will Be Blood
• Blood-red beet hummus, in honor of Sweeney Todd
• Texas turkey chili, in honor of No Country For Old Men
• Green salad with oil-based dressing, in honor of There Will Be Blood
• English trifle in honor of Atonement
• “Sunny-D” and bitter chocolate sorbets, in honor of Juno

Prizes were given out for winning, losing and most writerly Oscar ballots, and a fine time was had by all. But my favorite moments were these, with Shore Fire clients Glen and Markéta of Once. Apparently no one's ever been brought back out before to finish a speech, but what Markéta said was worth hearing. Both speeches are in this clip:



Plus, Matt and I co-won the Oscar office pool!
