Pictures from the Oscars

OK, so here are a few pictures taken on Friday afternoon.

This is the corner of Hollywood & Highland, where the Red Carpet begins.





This picture isn't great because it was real dim inside and my flash wasn't always working. But you see the red carpet (under white plastic) leading to the "Grand Staircase" into the Kodak.



Flip around from the staircase and you see this, the entryway from the outside Red Carpet to the inside.



The Red Carpet. This is along Hollywood Blvd leading to the Kodak. The close side is where the bleachers of fans are. The far side is media. Obviously, it's covered with clear tents and white plastic up until Sunday.



Standing behind where media would be along the Red Carpet, looking down toward the Kodak.



And since I didn't see him at the show, here are Johnny Depp's footprints from outside Grauman's Chinese.
