I decided to post you all the results here of our version of the Oscar's which our Diner's group held tonight. We call these awards the Silver Lena's after one of our members (Lena) and we have a lot more categories than the Oscar's. I will give you the nominations and the winners. These are the 1995 awards since we always host last years movies in February of the following year and our nominations also do not always match the Oscar's since our guidelines for cut off dates are different plus these are our own versions. If you have not heard of a few of the films it is because many are Canadian and often limited releases, Film Festival movies and or Foreign Films from Europe or Asia which our group on the whole favour. We started the awards from the bottom of the list up however I am posting them in reverse order as that is how I received the results by e-mail:

Just sticking my nose in here to clarify for those who don't know what Diners group Chaplin is referring to...its an informal group called THE SERIAL DINERS of Toronto, that was created a few years ago by a college student and his pals. They meet every Friday evening and go to a different restaurant as per the listing in the YELLOW PAGES! Although the founder has long since graduated and is now a highly regarded professional in his field, he has continued his SERIAL DINERS group to this day. It has been featured on tv and in newspapers several times over the years. And it has an ever growing number of members. If you show up at the appointed time, at the appointed restaurant, you're a member. That's it. You can become a regular, or never show up again. Up to you. No dues, no fees, (well you Do have to pay for your meal. LOL). Just some fun and fascinating folks to chow down with. My dh and I have gone a few times, and we really enjoy the people. Sometimes the restaurant is questionable and sometimes its fantastic... who cares, there's always NEXT Friday. :-) http://probability.ca/diners/current.html

Ladies, there are two suites currently up for sale in our condo. Remember, nothing is impossible. And Toronto is the BEST city in the world... or at least it used to be, and I have high hopes for us again. :-)
