oscar prep

Here's how Hollywood is preparing for tonight's Oscars

There’s the bar, pity it’s not FREE.

WE WE SO excited. It’s mere hours now until the 87th Academy Awards kick off in Los Angeles. While the States are still waking up or nursing their hangovers from last night, prep is well underway at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

First off, last night’s party. There’s actually a Night-Before-The-Oscars-Party party. Are you able?

1. Selena Gomez and pals are just like us on a night out

Except we’re in a local nightclub drinking WKDs and they’re sipping champagne in Hollywood.

Couldn't ask for a sweeter group of ladies ☺️ selenagomez selenagomez

2. JLO KILLING IT

Leah Remini on Instagram: This is what I gotta look at! Ick. Right?! ;) @jlo #bestielove #alittieannoying #familia Instagram Instagram

3. Oh to have our name on that table

Just a few of the place cards at the pre-Oscars Weinstein party. #KerryWashington #SelenaGomez #KeiraKnightley #AmyAdams peoplemag peoplemag

4. The drink selection at the pre-Oscars Weinstein party is deeply satisfactory

Hrm...think there are enough drink options at the pre-Oscars Weinstein party? The Moët champagne tree is impressive but there's also Heineken, and 50 Bleu, and Meiomi, oh my! peoplemag peoplemag

5. But on to today. The red carpet has just about been unveiled at this stage

The red carpet is taking shape for the big show on Sunday. #redcarpet #oscars #hollywoodblvd theacademy theacademy

6. After a lot of stapling

The red carpet is being laid out and the stapler man is suddenly the most popular person on Hollywood Blvd. #oscars #redcarpet #hollywood theacademy theacademy

7. The media have been practising, and there’s ACTUAL STAND-INS

Adorable.

8. This is what the bar looks like. Great, but it’s not free

Scabs.

9. This is the media room right now, from the Oscar winners point of view when they meet the press after giving their speech

This is the view the Oscar winners will have when they meet the press after they accept their statuette. Every seat will be taken by journalists from around the world. #oscars #loweshollywoodhotel theacademy theacademy
