Why is Oscar night different from all other nights? On Oscar night, people handle envelopes with extreme care. On other nights, deliveries don't always get such special treatment.
The mail gets mishandled, for example, 71 minutes into the frantic evening portrayed in the new-to-video Radioland Murders (1994, MCA/Universal). Hiding from the cops inside a penguin costume, writer Roger (Brian Benben) gives someone a bent, sealed manila envelope to pass along to his wife, Penny (Mary Stuart Masterson). But the note that Penny receives in the next scene comes in a fresh, unsealed white envelope. Oh, well. Careless mail handling is only one of the many elements of this exhausting movie that aren't quite Oscar caliber.
