My First Oscars!
S David Acuff
VP of Creative Development, BravoBay Media Group, Former Disney Producer-Editor
Most years I sit comfortably in my living room and Live-Tweet the Oscars. This is my Superbowl every year. My Final Four. My Dancing with the Stars. My Bachelorette.
But this year was very different! This year I was asked to work the 89th Annual Academy Awards with Disney | ABC Television. I had to rent a monkey suit -- Vera Wang, thanks for asking -- and finally got some use out of my nerdy Millenium Falcon cuff links!
Most of the time I was in a back hotel conference room with 20 to 30 other people on the Photo Team processing more than 20K still photos from the Red Carpet and the Ceremony itself. A long day but lots of fun.
And then just as the show was winding down, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty stepped on stage to add an extraordinary photo finish. Wow! Crazy night.
No after-parties, no Vanity Fair invite, no Megan Fox meet-cute... yet. YET!
But there's always next year!

8 年I used to watch Oscar the grouch when I was a kid. That's as close as I've been. Good on ya!
