Oscar Follow-up

A glamorous night! The red carpet had a lot of stunning dresses and tuxes and suits, Jon Stewart livened up a very monotone night, and a few upsets (that Steve picked in acting!) made it enjoyable. We spent the evening with our friends, the Sweetwoods, made omelets and Aebleskivers, planned a cruise for this summer that we are getting more and more excited for, and in general had a very good time.

How we did: 15 out of 24 (with an asterisk below) for Steve and 12 out of 24 (with a +) for Jillian, a weak year for us.
