This was nice, and it’s like this new full size one now kind of adds up to an honorary award. Very sweet lady. :)

Would’ve been cool if they could have surprised her at the Oscar ceremony.

I thought that, but then she’d have had to have been told and then lost the surprise. Then again, asking her along would maybe have been surprise enough…but then again they’ve been doing these "honorary" type things in smaller more private ceremonies anyway, so it wouldn’t have been such a visual thing. Ideally she’d have been asked to present an award under some pretence and then been surprised at the ceremony itself. Would have been a good standout moment.
