On The Oscars: What you didn't see on TV

If you have never really participated in the Oscar (and I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that there are many), there are some things that might surprise one of them - at least at first-timer was a participant in the things that I was surprised. For one, the Kodak Theatre is located inside the mall, so while walking along the final straight on the red carpet for the stairs more glamorous, you are actually passing the kiosk sunglasses, a shoe store, put the coffee, fudge shops, etc.. (She covers her windows, red curtains to hide the mall-ness.) Always on the road to the scene, you must complete the challenge with the anti-Hollywood protesters holding signs bearing slogans such as "Ask Me Why You Deserve Hell" and "The wages of sin is death.

"Fiesta" When he saw on television as the public Oscar is wall to wall celebrities, in fact, the vast majority of those attending the Oscars are definitely not random people and celebrities, trying to People do not act his fantasy tired, even if C is really so excited to have a vision of all-star movie. ... and me.

Here are some things you might have missed if you saw this year's show from your couch:

1. It was cold. Non-standard cold, very cold in February, but fresh and Los Angeles. And the women with bare shoulders in the mask, it was even cold. On the red carpet, I saw the wife of Matthew McConaughey visibly trembling from the cold (if not only the tension). Inside the Kodak Theatre was also the air conditioning temperature meat locker. If you want to keep sweating candidates? To keep the audience awake? Hard to say.

2. When Melissa Leo dropped his f-bomb, there was a gasp of surprise sound from the audience.

3. During a commercial break at the beginning of the show, Anne Hathaway out and thanked the public, she told everyone they looked fantastic and had a quick draw for a plate of sushi "for all the energy you give us. " - ". Because the only thing more glamorous than being at the Oscars is to eat sushi at the Oscars" Referencing Leo f-bomb, Hathaway noted that it was someone in the nosebleed seats won what was f-ING really good sushi. "Lucky for them because there is very little food will be held at the Oscar ceremony, unless you smuggled in some cases you - and it's a long show.

4. When Jake Gyllenhaal went out for an award, James Franco gave him a little off-field wave machin-up Bro and nod.

5. When Hilary Swank to present Anne Hathaway gave him a bit 'off-camera-I'm not-worthy bows.

6. After entering the stage dressed in a tunic, James Franco briefly fell as he walked backstage. I could not see where I was sitting high heels or not, but it was fortunate for him that was holding the arm of Anne Hathaway.

7. Before the match in memory of the issue, speaker of the Palestinian Authority asked the participants to hold their applause until the end of a segment, in an apparent effort to avoid the awkward applause-o-meter that often accompanied the tribute to the late great in the past.

8. There was a palpable sense of disappointment at the Kodak Theatre, where the prize for Best Documentary Feature was announced - not because Inside Job was not worthy, but because everyone was curious to see if Banksy is shown in a monkey suit for Accepting the prize if the output through the gift shop livestock. For what it's worth, I have not seen anyone in a monkey suit at night.

9. In the second commercial break late in the show, co-hosts once again became the talk with the audience. In reality, Anne Hathaway has done most of chitchatting - James Franco mainly standing next to her to shoot a video for his audience for smartphones. "All this should then be on YouTube," says Hathaway. He said candidates who had something special to them, Luna Bar written on the back of the seats in case they were hungry.

10. The giant gold Oscar statues that flanked the stage were revealed when they were displaced during a commercial break, to be just half-built, with only the front has reached an agreement. When a woman sitting next to me noted with surprise Oscars were hollow in the back, her husband replied curtly: "I do not break it to you, but most of Hollywood is hollow when you passed the surface ".
