Academy's NYC Oscar Party Set; Riot Gear Ordered

Thanks to David Carr for bringing this news flash to The Reeler's attention: The Motion Picture Academy has locked down a time, date and place for its New York Oscar party. Naturally, the bash is set for Oscar night itself--March 5--but feel free to pencil in the St. Regis at 5 p.m. for your party-crashing convenience. And please do plan to bust in; Lord knows you would not want to miss any barnburner where "(f)ollowing a cocktail reception in the Louis XVI Suite, invited guests will adjourn to the Versailles Room for dinner and viewing of the Awards Presentation."

"Adjourn" my ass; if the Versailles Room is the hookers-disco-and-blow madhouse Gabriel's was in 2005, the cops will break that shit up by the end of Jon Stewart's monologue. Which works great for me--I imagine any Academy members who escape arrest will migrate uptown to Entertainment Weekly's D-list orgy at Elaine's, a mere block from Reeler HQ. I am virtually riven with anticipation. Or that could just be yesterday's buffalo wings. Either way, I think my schedule just got a little tighter.
