Watching Paint Dry aka Academy Awards Telecast

I have been to the Academy Awards three times. The first time was great, and the next two made me want to kill myself. The first time I went to the Awards, it was my first year in LA and I went as a seat filler. They are all the minions who fill a vacated celebrity seat, while the celebrity does something to avoid killing themselves. Until I went to my second Academy Awards I could not understand why I kept finding flasks, pill bottles and other mind altering drugs in the seats I was filling. I also stumbled upon loaner jewelery, cash, a large, empty bottle of vodka which had been shared by an entire row, and various items of clothing which I guess were no longer needed.

So, I did not go to the Academy Awards last night and I did not watch them on television. I did however have one person inside the Elton John viewing party and another inside the Vanity Fair party who kept calling all night. One is an old friend of the blog and one is a newer friend of the blog who I thought was a stalker when I met her but is actually pretty funny and willing to do almost anything. In addition to those two people I had one person inside the Queen Latifah pre-Oscar party as well. The good thing about the gossip I am going to share is that most of it is not blind. Some will be blind, but not much.
