“Chris and myself are excited to have been credentialed to participate in the pre-Oscar’s events at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills and others around Los Angeles,” said Bill Cody.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will be holding many screenings, symposiums, a red carpet arrival area preview and press conferences up to the morning of the celebrity arrivals and show on Sunday.

“Seeing Fisher Stevens present and discuss his documentary, “The Cove,” was a personally moving experience. As a citizen journalist who uses Twitter and other social media sites to cover entertainment in Las Vegas, I’m happy to expand my horizons on this trip. Bill and I are going to be documenting the next several days to turn it into a case study on social media and major events,” says Chris Rauschnot.
