Can you believe I almost forgot to pick up my Academy Award as I made my acceptance speech? I know, but I was caught up in the moment, the lights, the orchestra, the applause. It’s true, sort of, and I have a video to prove it. My red-carpet moment came courtesy of the Oscars Experience at the Academy Museum where, for 10 dollars, you can step out on stage to hold aloft a real-life Oscar, with a mini-film of the occasion sent straight to your email, for posterity.
We ate at Que Barbaro, a wonderful South American grill, while Japanese cuisine features at Maison Kasai and Lucky Mizu. We finished the night at Sinners y Santos nightclub, which opened last September, designed to look and feel like the inside of a church, but dark, deeply hedonistic, and with a wrestling platform above the bar where scantily-clad chaps and gals writhe on and off the ropes on the hour. Yes, really.
