There’s no debate that the Oscars is the event in Hollywood. The whole world sits in front of their screens, mesmerized by the world’s most beautiful and talented actors and actresses as they compete for the ultimate award: the golden Oscar. But if you’re in LA you may have the chance to see all of this in person! For those who planned in advance (or those who want a heads up for next year), registration for bleacher seats closed on September 2009. But if you have a lot of patience and get there early, there is a possibility patience can pay by waiting in line for a golden ticket to the bleachers. Of course, there are plenty of Oscar themed parties across Los Angeles where you can enjoy the 82nd Annual Academy Awards Show from the comfort of a swanky lounge or killer house party.
