OSCARS UPDATE
I'm back from the Academy Awards. Probably you want to know what it was like "behind the scenes." I'll tell you what it was like: glamorous. Here are some exclusive photos from inside the Kodak Theater.
Here's the sign over my parking space. Sometimes I would linger under my sign in case famous movie stars passed by and suddenly realized who I was, but this never happened.
There is a strict snack-food status hierarchy at the Oscars. Not everybody is allowed into every refrigerator.
I don't know what went on inside this dressing room, and I don't want to know.
Of course the most exciting moment of any Academy Awards is when you first set foot on the famous red carpet.

Were you under the snuggy blanket btwn Alec & Steve? I thought I recognized the shape of your head...

(well, not really....)

I hope Julia Roberts,Meryl Streep,and Penelope Cruz didn't bother you too much Dave. btw, the jokes were wonderful.

Please tell me you brought the sign home.

Did you go hot-tubbing with with any Kardashian sisters or other celebrities?
Posted by: wiredog | March 08, 2010 at 03:09 PM
I thought the same thing wiredog. I would have it over my garage.

Wow! Your own parking sign. Looks like it was quite glamorous, Dave. Did George Clooney use that toilet??
Posted by: Siouxie | March 08, 2010 at 03:13 PM
No doubt you and all the other "sickly little mole people" were treated well, as evidenced by the parking space alone. Oh, and the red carpet, of course.
Posted by: WriterDude | March 08, 2010 at 03:14 PM
how many parking spots did you have? that sign is HUUUUGE!!
I didnt watch the show. i hate that stuff. i didnt even know who won until i read it this morning. but goodie on em.

Was that an official Academy Awards restroom? I expected something a little more posh. And as a highly skilled former custodian, I have to say the grout on that floor looks NASTY.
Posted by: Mad Librarian | March 08, 2010 at 03:21 PM
I'll bet the paparazzi were all over Dave in that red carpet area.

A Posh bathroom? I suppose if I really had to go...

Did you have to photoshop out the sign that said "All employees must wash their hands before returning to work"?
Posted by: Not My Usual Alias | March 08, 2010 at 03:46 PM
They had a red carpet around the Joke Writer's hot tub ?
Posted by: Clankazoid | March 08, 2010 at 03:53 PM
VERY cool, Dave. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | March 08, 2010 at 03:57 PM
Siouxie! Wiredog posted another picture of you-know-who!!!
Posted by: nursecindy | March 08, 2010 at 03:57 PM
They didn't send a limo for Dave? Only talent get the star treatment, I guess. I'm surprised that Dave didn't try to score with some of those crossover dancers.

Not to worry, ladies; Trophy Girls are welcome in my fridge. Matter of fact, there may be one or two in there!
Posted by: CJrun | March 08, 2010 at 04:30 PM
Meanie, there was something all over Dave there, but it requires antibiotics.

Hollywood is so out of step with America.
They hang their tp "under" for chrissakes.
Posted by: bonmot | March 08, 2010 at 04:48 PM
That sign is better than anything you could have gotten in a gift-basket.
Posted by: NotSherly | March 08, 2010 at 05:12 PM
I bet Clooney had his own personal bathroom - and someone to hold & shake for him.
Posted by: Punkin | March 08, 2010 at 05:26 PM
Obviously not a Congressionally approved "Wide Stance" red carpet
Posted by: russellmc | March 08, 2010 at 05:49 PM
Punkin would you have volunteered to be Clooney's shaker? I hope Dave didn't have to do that for Mr. Steve Martin.
Posted by: nursecindy | March 08, 2010 at 05:53 PM
Only for his salad cindy.
Posted by: Loudmouth | March 08, 2010 at 05:58 PM
That craft services sign didn't mention trophy wives. Are they allowed?
Posted by: Lairbo | March 08, 2010 at 06:04 PM
Nothing butt the finest accommodeations for a star of Dave's stature.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 08, 2010 at 06:10 PM
It looked to me like the parking spot was the "wide stance" in that series. How wide was that car Dave drove?
Posted by: Steve | March 08, 2010 at 06:52 PM
Objects in Rear View Mirror May Appear LARGER Than They Are
Posted by: trustf8 | March 08, 2010 at 07:16 PM
I would shake Mr. Steve Martin's salad. If he sang 'King Tut' for me first.
Posted by: nursecindy | March 08, 2010 at 07:25 PM
Those jokes were so dead they can't be called jokes. Classless, lame, stinko - one of the worst Oscars. Too bad Hollywood Squares isn't on anymore so that Bruce would have a steady job.
Posted by: ausscyn | March 08, 2010 at 07:37 PM
Perhaps if Mr. Steve Martin knew I was related to Earl Scruggs? AND I heard him play the banjo many times as a child. I, on the other hand, couldn't play a banjo if my life depended on it so it must skip generations. He grew up not far from where I live. Bluegrass is very big here in Shelby, NC.

harrharr - best Oscar recap ever.
*wonders about the grade of homemadeness of that car park sign*
Posted by: rubreg | March 08, 2010 at 08:21 PM
I won't be joining the 24 festivities tonight...my girls are home for Spring Break and I will be watching with them. I'll read up tomorrow!!
Have fun!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 08, 2010 at 08:28 PM
Only Dave's crap cam could have captured the red carpet zone's ambiance. I assume with the dual disability bars, and possibly air bags, this was reserved for joke writers?
Posted by: Okie Down Under | March 08, 2010 at 09:51 PM
The red carpet shot is funny!

I posted, but apparently it passed over to the giant inflatable beaver.
