They say you learn something new every day. What did I learn today? I learned that the Oscar statuette is modeled after Oscar the Grouch.
Did you know that? I mean, it makes sense because they are both named Oscar. But I just never put two and two together before.
However, now that Sesame Street let the Grouch out of the garbage can, we all know the truth.
Now that we know that about the green, I mean gold, Muppet has a message for all the people who won him yesterday: “You are not winning me. I am not going on your mantle or being placed in your bathroom as a conversation piece. And definitely don’t think you are posing for pictures with me or giving me kisses. Blech. You got the wrong Oscar.”
But they did all of that, and more! Rumor has it that several people rubbed Oscar like he was a Genie in a bottle at the Oscar parties, and now he is a lot less grouchy!
