OSCAR SNUBS

Entertainment news is raining on Brendan and Jamie Lee's parades as they write how Angela and Austin were snubbed.

The family of Paul Sorvino is also upset over the memoriam segment. I have yet to read the academy's reason for the great omission but I remember their response in the past how an actor may not have been a member so s/he's not included in the tribute.

In this side of heaven, no one can all win at the same time. Even those consolation prizes that schools give out to make every student happy do not constitute a win because everyone knows they're just that---consuelo de bobo. But on the other side of heaven, we all get to win because being in heaven with God is already a win.

The win is made sweeter as we did not do anything to earn it. Christ did everything for us when He died on the cross and was raised from the dead. He shares His victory over death for us when we accept Him---and only Him---as our Lord and Savior. Like becoming a member of the academy, membership made during this lifetime is the only Way to heaven.
