When I was a young girl, I remember the excitement there was around watching the Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) as a family! We’d usually order pizza, eat popcorn and snack on goodies while watching the stars walk up the stage in their beautiful gowns and well-pressed tuxes to receive their award. These were experiences […]...
