Hey! Could you help me brainstorm words and terms that would center around Oscar Night? Like, if I were writing a short article about the Oscars, what could I sprinkle into the copy to give it a classier, more glamorous feel? What would you see if you were present at the Oscars? What would you hear, smell, feel, etc?

Red carpet
Rolling out the carpet
The creme de la creme

blocks from the world-renowned Hollywood Bowl
right next door to Mann's Chinese theater
traffic snarled up for blocks for hours

Well hey, thanks, I didn't think I was going to get any more on this. Copied and pasted.

Raia, I'm not actually writing an article about the Oscars. I'm trying to nail the feel of a brochure we're doing about recent media coverage our products have received. We're giving it a "Night at the Oscars" look. I'm writing an intro and some short text here and there. I was having a hard time getting an angle on it yesterday.
