Since the Oscars are just around the corner, it seems only fair that the Book Devouring Horde hold their own awards ceremony. Andrea donated some extra-long purple shag carpet and Steve said any machine is a smoke machine if he operates it, so the ceremony part is clearly handled. We just need you to pick
