More information on Academy Awards (The)

For those determined fans, and those who are used to physical deprivation, seeing celebrities walk down the red carpet on Academy Awards night is a dream come true. Every year, the Academy sets up bleachers (for those of us without an invitation for a seat inside). Bleacher seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis. That means you have to get there the day before the Awards and spend the night in the bleachers with a bunch of other people. Once you're in the bleachers, you're not allowed to leave and come back. There are toilet facilities provided, of course, and the Academy and its sponsors always give the visitors food, drink, gift packs and many other things to help make the experience more pleasurable. Video entertainment is provided as well. It's difficult to get a seat on the bleachers, but if you're determined you can do it. See website for yearly particulars.
