Online contributor and former People Newspaperman Peter Simek passes along this:
A big Dallas related Oscar winner last night: Megan Mylan for best documentary short. Her parents still live in Dallas and she grew up here (at least for part of her childhood). I can’t remember where she went to school, but I got to interview her a number of years back when her Lost Boys of Sudan movie came out and played at the Angelika. Some of those boys live here still. They go to a church in Richardson and work at Central Market.
The short was Smile Pinki. Congrats to Megan. And congrats to a different Megan for winning the Oscar pool last night. As she said of The Duchess, one of her many correct calls, “Never go against a period piece when it comes to Best Costume.”
