WINNER BUYS DINNER

Jack Nicholson hosted a pre-Oscar luncheon at his Mulholland Drive pad for fellow Best Actor nominees Nicolas Cage, Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine and Adrien Brody — and struck a deal! The winner would treat everybody to a fancy dinner at a restaurant they’d all choose. Brody — the only non-millionaire — blithely agreed, but after his surprise win, he begged to postpone the bash until he collects his next paycheck!
