The Emmys

We've been meaning to post about this for a while, we took a trip down to Hollywood last week because a short that Kristi worked on was up for a Student Emmy Award. So we drove down Friday for the award ceremony and screening over the weekend and drove back on Monday.

We got down there in time to do some site seeing on Friday, and Kristi had never been down Hollywood Boulevard and our hotel was only a block away, so we went and saw the walk of fame, and the oddities that are Hollywood Blvd.

Wax King Kong at the Hollywood Wax Museum.


This is the star that's waiting for Kris.

And here's the massive complex where the awards were held. It's like the Gateway shopping center in Salt Lake City, if it were built by Egyptians...and several stories tall.







This is a cell phone picture of the Grand Ballroom where the awards were held.


This was exciting...


Inspector 42 is the name of the short. Kristi was listed along with the film in the program.


Now before we continue, I've got to inform all of you about something. When you watch the Academy Awards, you can almost always figure out what film will win Best Picture because the editor of that film will win Best Film Editing. When making a film you write the best script you can, you shoot it the best you can, but eventually the edit is what tells the story. So deservedly, a film that wins Best Picture is presented by a superb edit.

So Inspector 42 was up for Best Drama and Best Director.


Waiting for the announcement about Best Drama...


It won!

The award.



Kristi's thrilled. A great film by a great group of people, and most of all, a fantastic editor.



To make the night even better, Nathan won the Directing Award! Paris Barclay, producer of successful TV shows like NYPD Blue, and director of several episodes of successful television shows like Glee, NCIS: L.A., The Mentalist, CSI, Monk, and Lost, gave a very flattering introduction to the award. It was pretty exciting.

And here's a cell phone picture of the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre where the screening of the winning films took place. It was a blast. So that was how we spent last weekend. It was a lot of fun.

We Went Shoe Shopping Yesterday

And discovered this atrocity...


Nice looking shoe...



WRONG.

Late Monday Picture Post

Here's another from my recent kick of retro propaganda.




This one might take a little longer to figure out.



I promise I'll write a real blog post some day.
