Julia Phillips Smith said...: Yes, this is me - holding an actual Oscar in my hands. This picture was taken about 14 years ago at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto.

The National Film Board of Canada had one of their many Oscars on display, and for $10.00 you could get your picture taken with one. So obviously I couldn't pass that up.; February 19, 2008 at 9:41 PM
SandyCarlson said...: That must have been fun! Do you know the movie this award was attached to? Great fun there, Julia!; February 19, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Julia Phillips Smith said...: Sandy - I believe it was for an animated short film.; February 19, 2008 at 11:53 PM

Julia Phillips Smith said...: Teach - they may not charge in NYC, but the Film Board did. All money raised would have gone towards funding young filmmakers, so I support that.; February 20, 2008 at 10:43 AM

Karina said...: Very cool, and if it's for a good cause on top of it all, even better! Did you say "I'd like to thank the academy" while you were holding it? I wouldn't have been able to resist!; February 20, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Julia Phillips Smith said...: LOL Karina! Actually, for a brief moment I wondered if I could make it look like I was in the middle of my acceptance speech. But then I realized I was wearing a tshirt.; February 20, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Rob Windstrel Watson said...: Great picture!

Go on, admit it, you broke down in tears and thanked the sponsors :-); February 20, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Annette Gallant said...: I love it! LOL When I first saw this picture, I thought you were holding out on us!

So, no big surprise at what you'll be doing on Sunday evening. I'll be glued to my tv as well. Just saw Juno for the second time. Hope Ellen Page wins!

P.S. Great running into you today. :-); February 20, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Anonymous said...: I can't believe they made you pay to hold it! That's like ho'ing out poor Oscar! But it's a lovely pic and I'd have believed you if you just said it was yours and that was your living room. ;); February 20, 2008 at 3:46 PM
Akelamalu said...: Don't tell everyone you paid to have your photo taken with Oscar just pretend it's yours!!! :); February 20, 2008 at 4:34 PM
pussreboots said...: Enjoy Oscar night. The Bordwell quote made me smile.

Happy TT. :); February 21, 2008 at 10:19 PM
