It’s The MOST Wonderful Time Of The Year
In my book there are 2 seasons. Award Show season and House Party Season. Naturally, I excel in both environments. The Emmy awards in September are the preview of whats to come for the rest of award show season. For some reason this year has been a challenge for the event planners. All of the dates for award shows have been overlapping and running together, like a bad marble cake. The prime time Emmy’s and The VMA’s were originally slated for the same night but the Emmys backed down because MTV had Kanye West do their dirty work with little Taylor Swift playing along. January 2010 is the holy grail of award shows.
The start of this madness is the Peoples Choice awards on Jan 6th. I will not be attending the People Choice because I can’t make it to the carpet by 4. If you with to go, tickets are available to the public at www.ticketmaster.com However I will be attending the premier of Youth & Revolt at the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Of course I will be at the after parties for both the award show and the premier.
Fallowed by The 15th Annual Critic Choice Awards, January 15th. I had an absolute blast at the after party for the critic choice awards last year. It was one of the great nights that still a little bit fuzzy. Critic Choice is one of my top favorites because its a small elite award show and only the best of the best come through for a killer after party.
2 Days later the Super Sexy Golden Globes with be broadcasting live to both coasts from the Beverly Hilton. I hope they clean the place up before then because I was there for an Oscar benefit last year and it needed some work and the food was terrible.
Jan 23rd, we have the oh so prestigious Sag Awards. If your a SAG member you can get tickets. If not then good luck. Maybe I should joining before then??? Anyway the Shrine Auditorium is kinda small. BET usually uses the Shrine for their events because its a cheaper venue. This event was slated for Jan 31st but again those damn party planners can’t get together to see what everybodies soiree calendar looks like.
The Grammy Awards won the battle for January 31st sadly I will be in Milan mourning the fact that I can’t get back to my 3rd row center seats that I had last year. I guess Carrie Underwood wont have trouble seeing around my huge dress this year and I wont miss Soulja Boy and his anticks at the Grammy gifting suite
The Sundance Film Festival is also the last week of January in Park City, Utah. I may slide through there for the first weekend to say hello to some friends and do some ice skating..
Academy Awards on March 27th at Kodak in Hollywood is late this year because of the Olympics Broadcast. The road to the Oscars this year will be a long one. Then a drunken road to Vanity Fair that night for the conclusion of 2010 award show season. This leads into house party season because Prince and Elton Jon have the do all be all of house parties on Oscar night.. Hopefully everybody will be on pointe about who they let in because nobody wants to get shut down like the Slumdog party did last year.
