Good evening from your Mistress of Ceremonies, Louella Rose Parsons (moi) here at the Grauman's Chinese Theater where I'm pleased to be appearing before this star-studded audience of Freepers. So good to see all of you in your fabulous beaded gowns, jewels and tuxedos. You look divine! And many thanks to Miss Claudette Colbert for the wonderful introduction.
Without ado, here's the contest winners and their winning entries.
FIRST PRIZE - to OLD SARGE for a scene from The Quiet Man and one from The Ten Commandments. SARGE'S memorable moments star two Freeper heroes, John Wayne and Charlton Heston. This powerful and patriotic duo gives SARGE'S combo first place!
SECOND PRIZE - to FLAGLADY47 for a winning entry in combining two of the most famous quotes in movie history....."I vant to be alone" and "Win One For the Gipper". Congratulations, FLAGLADY, for pairing two of the most memorable lines ever delivered by talented actors on the silver screen. Unforgettable!
THIRD PRIZE - To DO THE DHUE for memorable quotes from "The Passion" and "We were Soldiers". These quotes represent moving and dramatic lines dear to DHUE's heart and to FReepers's hearts everywhere! Beautiful combination, Dhue, and a winner all the way.!

I'm impressed by the wide range of movies above and the decades covered. Also the good memories, perspicacity and discernment demonstrated by all of our contestants in selecting memorable movie lines and scenes. Great work, dahlings!
Each winner will have $10 donated to the FReepathon in his/hers name.......for a total here of $90 !
But wait! There's more Awards to come. But right now, it's time for a commercial break announcing Ford Motor Company's brand new 1934 Ford V8 with new carburation, clear vision ventilation, a new chromium-plated grill and new swivel-type sun visors.....all this priced at $530 to $610.
Watch for my next post coming in a little while. You don't want to miss the rest of the Awards!
Your Mistress of Ceremonies, Louella Parsons
I love it! That picture of Death Valley was taken two years ago after the heaviest rain there in 50 years. Caused by Global Warming of course!
And the crowd goes crazy!!
Thanks Louella!!! I had been on the edge of my seat all day long!
I’d like to thank the Academy for their collective wisdom in bestowing this honor upon my humble shoulders. I should also like to thank John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Cecil B. DeMille, and John Ford, for without whom this award might not be possible.
Thank you, and may Ghod bless you all!
You always win:)
Did you get any of tha CA rain this time around? It looked brutal.
Congrats Old Sarge!!
ROTFL! Well the sorta had to do sumpin'.......
The old zenith "up draft" carburetors just didn't lend themselves very well to an engine of the "V" configuration.
Hence the new "down draft" carburetor.
All in all a good design.
Ran good too for a 60 HP engine.
Louella is a hoot!
