What A Character! Ninth Annual Blogathon
The anticipation is over! Today we bring you the 9th annual What A Character Blogathon, hosted by yours truly, Paula of Paula’s Cinema Club (on Twitter @Paula_Guthat), and my co-hosts, the classic film-loving ladies Kellee of Outspoken and Freckled (@IrishJayhawk66), and Aurora of Once Upon A Screen (@CitizenScreen).
This annual event celebrates the supporting actors who are ostensibly there to bolster the lead but more often than not steal the scene.

Day 2 of 31 Days of Oscar 2019
I’m happy to say that we approach the halfway mark of this year’s 31 Days of Oscar Blogathon without incident or controversy. As is the case with my co-hosts, I will not be hosting any posts during commercials today, my day to host this year’s event. To put you at ease here is a 1957 Oldsmobile commercial, which aired during the Academy Awards ceremony that year. I will watch it with you thereby pausing my hosting duties.
Welcome back. Before we get to today’s list of entries, you might want to visit the Announcement post, which includes the entire participant roster. Also, be sure to visit Kellee at Outspoken & Freckled and the Day One submissions. Terrific stuff there. Otherwise, I’m getting to the main course of this entry, the tributes to the movies and the people who have had relationships with Oscar…or should have had. Enjoy!

I’m thrilled to be hosting Day Two of the 2016 What A Character! Blogathon. This is the fifth consecutive year that I co-host this tribute to the lesser known players that enriched so many movies.
