One of our search engines turned up this AC tidbit today -- according to Girl Hacker's Random Log the official Academy Award Gift Bag for presenters and winners at Sunday's soiree includes a gift certificate for a "ride on an America's Cup sailboat."

Also in the bag of swag, the total contents of which are said to be worth US$100,000, there's one for the chocoholics: M&M'S Candies is presenting nominees with personalized M&Ms with their names and words of congratulations printed on each M. Only in Hollywood...and no doubt eBay will be a bit busier than usual on Monday.


Sunday the world's eyes will be on the "Golden
State" -- home of the Golden Gate Yacht Club,
Oracle, and, ah yes, Hollywood.
