...industry's glamourati will assemble in all their post-writers'-strike glory at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles for the 80th awards bash of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Hundreds of millions of people around the world will tune in as prizes are doled out to films most of the TV viewers haven't seen. They watch in part because the laying on of statuettes is meant to signify the designation of supreme cinematic quality. The Best Picture winner will be able to claim parity with such enduring masterworks as The Greatest Show on Earth, Around...
Albright had it wrong in explaining how President George W. Bush will be judged. She incorrectly said "this presidency has done a great deal of damage" to the U.S.'s international reputation.

...guests of two TV networks that have arranged for private seating. For the hundreds of less moneyed reporters in town for the holiday, Carrie Giddins, the spokeswoman for the Iowa Democratic Party, and Mary Tiffany, her GOP counterpart, have joined forces to throw "Raucous Before the Caucus," a big bash with a jazz band at the Temple for the Performing Arts downtown - the $25 entrance fee gets journos a taste of Iowa, including State Fair favorites like fried Twinkies and corn dogs...
