How bout this. Let's all of us who are here now, plus all of those who may come here in the future, make a vow.
No matter what happens between now and next March, even if a few of us (not many, I hope!) have dwindled or faded or become less than daily visitors here ... on Oscar night 2007, at some point, we will all get our own bottles of champagne (or refreshments of our choice), check in here, and provide each other moral support.
The ratings for the Oscars broadcast have been plummeting so much each year anyway that it would hardly be noticable, but I would love for the show to see a noticeable EXTRA dip in viewers next year -- and for the Academy members to know exactly why that is.
