ACADEMY AWARDS 2006
.
.

The Metro gave me the plush assignment of covering the 78th Annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California. Although my McCarty Metro press card was treated with no respect, my Banana Splits membership card opened doors all over Hollywood.

Traffic to the Kodak Theatre was terrible as Sunset Boulevard was littered with Protesters, Homeless People, Prostitutes, and other Wackos. The Red Carpet had pretty much the same types of people.

I walked down the Red Carpet with Reese Witherspoon, Queen Latifa, Jaime Foxx, Hillary Swank, Jennifer Garner, and Steven Spielberg. I got a few pictures before they took my camera and my phone.

Inside the Kodak, I watched a little of the show and then went to the Bar to get some celebrity comments for the Metro. Jack Nicholson was drinking Jack and Coke and we talked a little basketball. The Lakers had just beaten the Pistons the day before, so I brought it up to Jack. “I like the Pistons for the title this year”, said Jack. I told Jack I grew up in Detroit and if he ever had an extra ticket, he should give me a call. He said he needed a drink refill and I never saw him again.

I also had a short conversation with Eric Bana of Munich and the Incredible Hulk. I thought he was faking his Austrailian accent, but later found out he is a foreigner. 

After the awards, I went to Oscar Parties at the Beverly Hills Hilton, Chateau Marmount, The Ivy, and the Pacific Design Center. I tried to get into the Vanity Fair Party at Mortons and was booted out, along with Paris Hilton. Paris and I both were taken to the alley and beaten up by the aggressive Vanity Fair bouncers.

All in all, it was a great night which saw me getting home at about 3:30 AM. I can’t wait until next year!!
