This past week, Micah was honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for becoming a 2010 Nicholl Fellow. Along with 4 other writers, Micah spent all week in lunches, dinners, seminars and cocktail parties that all culminated in one amazing (& fancy!) gala dinner at the Beverly Wilshire Ballroom (which is right on Rodeo Dr. & it's the hotel where Pretty Woman was filmed)
The 2010 Nicholl Fellows
Dana Stevens (writer of City of Angels and For Love of the Game) and Eva Marie Saint (North by Northwest, On the Waterfront)
The Fellows and the Academy members that presented their awards
Tom Rickman (writer of Coal Miner's Daughter and Tuesdays with Morrie) presented Micah with his award Although terrified to give an acceptance speech in front of 300 people, Micah did an amazing job. He seemed so comfortable up there speaking in front of Mr. Oscar! Fingers crossed that it won't be the last time!
Micah thanked his parents & family, manager, his good friend, Matthew and, of course, his lovely, wonderful, amazingly spectacular wife ;)
They are posting the acceptance speeches online soon so I'll be sure to add a link when it goes up
The ballroom at the Beverly Wilshire
The Dinner Menu (it was filet mignon and black cod) Best. Meal. Ever!
I loved the beautiful centerpieces (which I did take home!)
Yep, we even ran to the ATM at midnight to deposit our first check!
