Each year, on the evening of the Academy Awards, Susan Harrigan takes a lengthy bath in her tropicana-themed bathroom before donning a new peach chiffon negligee and popping the cork on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. A widow herself, Ms. Harrigan relishes her private time with the bubbles - in the bath and in the glass - while watching the winners make their acceptance speeches. When the ceremony ends, and the empty bottle clinks on the counter, she wanders to bed... hoping for Champagne dreams.
