Club Chalamet is going to the Oscars!!
To my complete surprise, I have received notice that I'm one of the First Prize winners of the People Magazine Red Carpet Oscars Fan Experience 2019, and I have asked fellow CC member, tracyrcat to join me!! I got the email yesterday morning, and it was sitting in my inbox for about an hour. So when I read it around 10:30 am, I was at work and in such shock, I couldn't read the entire email at first. I needed to 'walk it off' and went to the restroom to think about it and reassess my life. LOL!
I entered the People sweepstakes DAILY. You could enter the contest one entry per day, and I set it up on my calendar as a reminder to submit an entry every day, on the dot at 8am. I also entered the sweepstakes via AMC Stubs Hub and with AMPAS directly. But it was the People magazine prize that seemed the most lucrative, and better odds.
Due to serious security protocols, there are forms that Tracy and I had to fill out within 48 hours, along with us providing a copy of our driver's licenses, and I had to fill out a W9 tax form as I will be taxed for the Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of the First Prize amount of $1,000. Working in concert with an equally excited and shocked Tracy, we filled out the paperwork and I emailed it back to the prize auditor.
She confirmed receipt of the packet this morning, and said all documents are in good order, has been accepted and will be submitted to AMPAS. Technically, I have claimed my prize in the short time window, however, legally, there is a next step: security background check. Upon successful completion of a background check (which we will surely pass and confirm our eligibility), I will officially be finalized as the prize winner.
Here's the deets:
The prize you have won, pending confirmation of your eligibility, includes:
• Two (2) tickets to the Oscars Red Carpet event that will take place on Sunday, February 24, 2019.
• Two (2) tickets to the Oscars Red Carpet viewing party on Sunday, February 24, 2019.
• One (1) Fan Gift Bag.
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided to winner and one (1) guest on Sunday, February 24, 2019.
This prize has an Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of $1,000.
The devil is in the details, there are a lot of requirements, but the main hurdle is the background check that decent people are able to pass.
I will only have access to the fan bleacher seats to watch the most famous red carpet in the world. A dream come true for this girl who has watched the Oscars since the 80s. More importantly, Timothée will be a nominee again this year and to see him waltz down the red carpet for a second year in a row will be the ultimate experience for a Chalamaniac.
Once the ceremony begins, we'll be escorted across the street to the El Capitan theater where we'll watch the show on the large theater screen, and be served a buffet style dinner, and get more freebie swag stuff.
I am just so honored to have won this sweepstakes this year. I have tried many times in the past, but this year in particular, I put a lot of effort into it along with positive energies and visualizing myself being there for this to happen. I have never won a sweepstakes prize like this before, and what a perfect first time win it is.
I look forward to providing live updates of my experience on Oscar day, and I will continue to use the power of positive thinking for Timmy on this glorious day too! Whatever the outcome is for him, this is still a once in a lifetime and surreal experience to be a part of the Academy Awards from a fan perspective.
For convenience, Tracy and I booked a hotel room for one night near the Dolby theater as we need to be up and ready as early as 8am that Sunday morning to participate in the day's events.
Thank you for reading, and thanks in advance for your support as I aim to provide you insight into the highest honor in the entertainment world, The Oscars.
