Okay, this is scary. What in the world are they planning over there at the Kodak? Michael Cieply gets this bit of news:
From the looks of it, the Oscars are going to be more fun than the Rose Parade. Actually, they may look a little like the Rose Parade. One industry hand, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect relations with the Academy, just wandered by the Kodak Theater and found the University of Southern California marching band lining up for show credentials. The kids had their marching band T-shirts, headdresses, the works. “I’m part of the show’s opening number,” one bubbled.
Other than the whole handing out the winners part, which is always nerve-wracking for on this side of the curtain, this could be a really great show.
