My Fiftieth birthday on Oscar night February 27 2011

That's right I received my AARP card last week...and yes the time is near.

I decided to allow the Academy Awards Committee to hold their Oscar party with it's celebration and pageantry to fall on the night of my Fiftieth ...it seemed unfair for me to ask Hollywood to postpone their annual Gala. After all they change the date every year -but my birthday was always on the 27th.

My wife will pull off one of her amazing parties and we'll celebrate the night away. Here are the rules: dress as any movie related person or character...fill out your predictions of the nights movie voting outcome, enjoy some champagne and make sure you eat something (we like to cook).

Tippi Hedren ...may make an appearance again this year. (or is it Tippi Loynd)

Yup married this one...and I'm so very lucky.

My wife had a roast for me when I turned 40...I'm glad the Oscars coincide with the 50th anniversary of my birth...I know what I'm in for. After all you don't want to scare an old guy with something too crazy.

Hey Steve - 50? You don't look a year over 49! I won't tell you the milestone I hit on my last birthday. Let's just say, this one hurt.

Steve,

I would suggest an Oscar for your birthday, but they can't give you an award until they've seen the whole movie. I'm betting the best is yet to come.

Happy b'day!

Ralph, I'll post some photos after the festivities, We were talking about Hollywood characters, and my wife said who do you want to be...dead or alive, I said I want to be alive.

I think it would be pretty nice to have an Oscar-themed birthday party - but mostly so that maybe I could score a designer dress and walk down a red carpet. Enjoy your 50th, happy birthday!
