And the Oscar goes to...a Smithie!
NEW YORK TIMES, March 7, 2008
A filmmaker triumphant, a film about triumph
Smith alumna Cynthia Wade's documentary film about a New Jersey police detective who valiantly fought the county for the right to transfer her pension to her domestic partner has captured 15 awards, including an Oscar. But, Wade said, "The goal was never an Oscar; the goal was to bring attention to this issue in other states where gay rights are on the legislative agenda." Wade is Smith Class of 1989.
