There are tickets for sale to Academy members. If you know one, or know someone who knows one (etc., ad infinitum) you can get them. Also, there is a company that provides "seat fillers," i.e., people to sit when the actual seat holder either needs a drink or is called to eliminate the last. This so the cameras never catch an empty, seat that is. Good Luck. RD ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
