Eike today asked who watched the Oscars (two people raised their hands in the affirmative, everyone else groaned). Then auf Deutsch he asked who won (using gewonnen, part of the perfect form of "to win"). I, to be snide, replied, 'But no one ever wins an Oscar; it always runs- 'And the Oscar goes to.'' He then amended the phrase using bekommen, "to receive".
Perhaps I am a jerk sometimes, but I still have at least fifty-eight friends.
