Oscars: Pink’s and gold

So I was down at the Kodak Theatre today, getting my sandwich-sign-sized credential for Sunday’s Academy Awards, and I picked up a list of Oscar-related goings-on for the press put together by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. One that stood out was a Pink’s Hot Dogs event tomorrow that promises “five well-adorned, ready-to-photograph hot dogs that depict and celebrate Oscar’s five Best Picture nominees.” Hmmmm…

How does one decorate a hot dog to capture the essence of “Brokeback Mountain?” We’ll leave that to Gloria Pink and Beverly Pink Wolff, who run the family business and brought this awkward dilemma on themselves by sanctioning this publicity stunt. They should be thankful, anyway, that “Transamerica” did not get a best picture nomination. If it did, they probably would be dressing an empty bun.
