<\/a><\/div>\n

A story published in the London Telegraph online brought me a smile this morning.  The co-producer of this year’s Best Picture, The King’s Speech<\/a>, Simon Egan, was celebrating the movie’s Academy Awards success at a Hollywood party with his 15-month-old daughter Lara in attendance.  Another party guest let Lara hold the Oscar so folks could take pictures.  As expected, that statuette slipped right out of her hands!<\/p>\n

You can view the video through this link.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>Mr. Egan immediately contacted the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences<\/a>, and was relieved to learn that the Academy has a program for repairing damaged statuettes.<\/p>\n

Lesson learned — unless you’re Walt Disney with 26 Oscar statuettes to spare<\/a>, think REAL hard before letting your 15-month-old loose on your symbol of the pinnacle of your career!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
