The 79th Annual Academy Awards were held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA on Sunday, February 25, 2007.

 

 

Usually after the announcement of Grammy and Oscar I would immediately search for the relevant news photos at Yahoo News Photos to display in my letters, especially for the photos that seems like related with my activities. But for this year's Grammy of February 11, 2007 I have to regret myself for loosing the chance of collecting the relevant photos, because my mind was distracted by the disaster of "Jakarta Worst floods in 5 years" that happened on 2 February 2007. And some other tragic accidents a few days earlier, like "Prima Vista's Sinking Ship, Senopati Nusantara" on 30 December 2006 and "Adam Air Crash With Three Americans On Board" on 1 January 2007. And yet other accidents around that time, like "Levina Ship On Fire" on 22 February 2007, "Earthquake in Padang" on 6 March 2007, "Airline Disaster of False Landing of Adam Air and Garuda" on 21 February and 7 March 2007.

While for the Oscar 2007 held on 25 February 2007, I barely missed the chance too, only after nearly a month later on 19 and 21 March 2007 that I got the chance to save the relevant photos like in the above. Now that I wrote it in this holyday season, this Oscar 2007 letter also becomes my own holyday gift.
