It was on in the background for awhile, didn't really listen to his speech. If you live in LA and are at all connected with the industry (that is about 250K people), then it is somewhat unavoidable. At the west LA farmers market yesterday morning the table next to me was talking about it (their agency handled the Argo
PR campaign last year), and my next door neighbor (producer) had an oscar-viewing party. My star-f****** days were back in '05 when I dated a woman who was tight with the Gyllenhall family. Was at Jake's pre-Oscar party up in the hills, and Calvin got to play dominos with Penelope Cruz at his b-day party. Different times now - while I'm peripherally in "the industry" I stay out of the fast lane...
