Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Steve Bognar and Julia Reichert have some tough decisions to make — like where to put all the trophies they’ve won this awards season.
“I just feel overwhelmed with gratitude. It is a crazy moment,” he said. “Several times we would look down at the Oscar right next to us and just blink. Is this real?”
Bognar is not sure where he’ll put his Oscar.
“What does one do with an Oscar? Maybe I should ask Hannah Beachler,” Bognar said with a laugh, referring to the 2019 Oscar-winner raised in Centerville. “Maybe my granddaughter will put some dress on it.”
Bognar and Reichert’s win marks the third year in a row that the Miami Valley has had a direct connection to the Oscars.
Beachler, a Centerville High School and Wright State University graduate, won in the production design category for her work on Marvel’s “Black Panther.”
