The Warmth Of Oscar’s Open Arms (washingtonpost.com)
“I feel like I won the Academy Award last night. I leaped up and made a fool of myself,” said director Warrington Hudlin, who watched the awards at a big party in New York. “I lost it, I can’t be cool. It’s too wonderful. It’s too historic.” Entertainment lawyer Nina Shaw said she watched the faces in the audience at the Oscars as they listened to Berry’s emotional acceptance speech and could see the import of the moment dawning on them. “There was absolute shock on some of those faces, as they realized for the very first time they were witnessing history."
