February 25 - Ever wonder what it would feel like to hold an Oscar and pose for pictures with it just like the Hollywood stars? Now you can pretend you're an Oscar winner at the "Meet the Oscars" exhibit which opens in New York and Chicago today.
This free exhibit is sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and travels every year to different cities in the weeks leading up to the main event, the Academy Awards. At the exhibit, you can pose and take pictures with a real Oscar statuette. The exhibit also features a display of Oscars in various stages of completion.
