One of the favorite parts of being on the Oscar Roadtrip is bringing the statue to the fans. On Oscar Sunday, Angie and Ben brought the Oscar to one very special fan. The Academy partnered with the Make A Wish foundation to bring Sofia to the Oscar Fan Experience, sit on the Oscars Red Carpet. and hold an Oscar. Looks like she had a pretty good time.

Later, she even got to meet one very handsome Captain of the Starship Enterprise:

Sofia and Chris Pine

A big thanks to Lani Hana for helping us make this possible for Sofia. For more information on the Make A Wish foundation go here.

The only thing better than a championship ring is… an Oscar! Watch our latest video from the road featuring the biggest athletes from the NBA All-Star weekend hanging with the Oscar, including: Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant.

Kobe’s acceptance speech is pretty great. Think you can do better? We want to hear it. Post it in the comments below.

First, they hit up the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Even Dwight Howard got in on some Oscar action.

After sharing the Oscar with the biggest basketball players on the court, Ben, Angie and Oscar made their way to their seats. Move over Jack Nicholson, there’s a new hot star sitting court side.

After the game, the crew popped up at a “Friend of the Tour” Sprint store.

Oscar liked it there so much, it was hard to leave.

The Roadtrippers made one final stop before heading in for the night: a wedding. You never know when you’ll need Oscar to fill in for a flaky bridesmaid.

The next day, our friends capped off the weekend with a house call to Aunt Boo – who is famous, even in LA, for her homemade chili.

Looks like Aunt Boo’s posse liked the Oscar and Roadtrip Reporters as much as we liked her.

Find out more about our favorite wedding crashers and chili eaters and check out the full video recap of our Midwest adventure.

Our Oscar Roadtrip crew LOVES to bring the Oscar to fans. They’ve been to cities. They’ve been to small towns. They’ve even been to Aunt Boo’s house. But, last night the Oscar went somewhere you never expect: a wedding.

Oscar Reporters take note: Remember to bring back some cake to HQ.

Tell us where you want the crew to go by tweeting us @OscarRoadtrip.

Everyone has a favorite member of their family. And, we just met ours. This weekend the Oscar Roadtrip crew surprised Aunt Boo. Who’s Aunt Boo, you ask? Not only does she make the best chili in Texas, but she’s also our CEO’s aunt.

Have a relative you want us to visit? Shoot us an email. Check out the time Oscar visited the Midwest or the time he met his oldest fan – the woman behind Older Than Oscar.
