My mom and I enjoy doing touristy things, and when she was here last weekend it was no exception. One of my favorite things we did, besides going to Disneyland, of course, was going to Hollywood. I will never get tired of seeing the Hollywood sign, and seeing it close up with the Walk of Fame at my feet is something I’ll always love doing. There were bleachers set up in addition to a few other obstacles that made the narrow sidewalk by Grauman's Chinese Theatre even more crowded than it usually is that normally would have been annoying (ok, it still was), but then I realized what it was for: the Oscars. They were set up in front of the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars were held, in preparation for last night’s Academy Awards. Naturally, my mom and I went inside, walked up the stairs the stars do, then looked for an outlet to charge my new iPhone 5 that I’m mildly obsessed with. Maybe the stars do this too?
Watching the Oscars, alas between studying for midterms, was great. Every year I am overcome with a love for the movie industry and Hollywood that turns me into one of those “One day, that’ll be me up there!” people, but this year was different. A mere 18 miles from where the Awards were being held and writing a paper for my Art of the Cinema class, it was the first where I actually thought “Hey, maybe it could be me up there…” You never know! I’m still not sure exactly what I want to do, but taking screenwriting classes and living in Los Angeles takes me at least a little closer to walking up the Dolby Theater’s stairs for a reason other than finding a place to charge my iPhone. Hooray for Hollywood!
