Award Night #24 At The Estates

Now that the writers strike has ended, the pre Oscar hysteria is again alive and well especially at the "Estates". There had been talk of scaling back in sympathy with the plight of the writers but now it's full speed ahead. The hors d'oeuvres are ready and waiting for their time in the oven, the roast beef is carved and set to jump onto the rolls and the chip bowls are filled to the brim well prepared for many hands to help themselves. Guests will be dolled up in their Oscar finery guarding their prediction cards in much the same way a student shields his test paper from potential copiers. Bets will be (conservatively of course) placed and the "games" will begin yet again in the tradition that is Awards night at the ESTATES!!!
