Pretty good haul for a 13 year old girl from Sherman Oaks, no? Unfortunately, I didn’t see any 13 year old girls at the Awards ceremony. In fact the youngest person there was most likely the poised young actress (and Spirit Award winner) Shareeka Epps, who clocks in at just a shade under 18 – still probably too old for the ridiculous flower-shaped You Go Girl! earbuds.

Has the bag gotten more useless than ever? Click here to see last year’s haul and judge for yourself.
