Immediately Before The OSCARs 2011

The OSCARs make getting around Hollywood a mess. But that's a small price to pay for seeing so many good looking women come Sunday night.

Closed for the Oscars 2011 edition

 I'm guessing but I believe that this is the longest, ever, that Hollywood Blvd. is going to be closed to automobile traffic between Highland Avenue and La Brea Avenue, due to the Oscar ceremony.


These information lights, (nothing like: "Your Name in Lights") are at the north west corner of the intersection of Vine Street and Hollywood Boulevard.

While there is too little to photograph, immediately to the right of where this picture was taken, in the parking lot that was built after Basque the nightclub was torn down. This is where Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 21st birthday. What is there now is large wooden crates, some airfreight from Korea. A large, fancy porta-potty was near the property line with the Redbury Hotel. Usually commodes that nice are for film productions. But, it could be that an Oscar party will be hosted on that parking lot, under a tent. Or it could be a station for caterers to prep food for a party at the W or the Redbury.
