Oscars Engraved While-U-Wait

Good news, Oscar winners! No longer will you be expected to schlep alllll the way to Academy HQ to get your hardware personalized! This year, for the first time, engravers will add your name backstage at the Kodak Theater. The Academy has ordered 197 blank nameplates -- the maximum possible permutation of winners -- and unused plates will be recycled. That should be a fun line to wait on. For the record, this does not diminish the hell that will ensue if Mo'Nique's Oscar isn't already engraved when she wins. [AP]
