Finally! Grab Oscar by the throat! (You know you want to)
For those of you in the LA or NYC area, AMPAS is offering a rare chance to get up close and personal with an Oscar. Now, you can be photographed hoisting one of these surprisingly heavy babies up to the heavens a la Barbara Stanwyck. (Her acceptance of an honorary award in 1982 is one of the all-time great Oscar moments.)
In LA, the exhibit at the Hollywood/Highland Center (mere steps from the Kodak Theater) runs from Feb. 9 to 24 and includes the Oscars to be handed out on the Feb. 25 telecast as well as the record four awards won by Katharine Hepburn. In NYC, the exhibit at the ABC Time Squares studio runs from Feb. 12 to 24 and includes fifty Oscars for next year's show as well as Clark Gable's award for "It Happened One Night" and one of two won by Bette Davis.
