Hollywood’s Scream Awards Means Screaming Fans

Hollywood's Halloween Awards

The Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre was the site of not your average awards show the other night. It was the venue for the the fun, and star-studded, Scream Awards; an awards show devoted to people, shows, and movies that have ever spooked or scared.

Fans and stars alike showed up dressed as vampires, skeletons, and zombies to watch trophies be presented to Keith Richards, who earned the ‘Rock Immortal award,’ as well as other shows like True Blood, Star Trek and of course, Twilight.

The ‘Ultimate Scream’ trophy was presented to the Star Trek movie. Guests were surprised when William Shatner got up on stage to accept the award. He made his point clear when he said, “”This movie was big. Imagine how big it could have been with me in it? … I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Trophy News from Los Angeles…
Oscar is in the house: Trophies come to the Kodak

A group of security workers stand at attention as two black SUVs, each driven by armed guards, pull up to the artists’ entrance to the Kodak Theatre. Inside are the Academy Awards’ most famous guests.

Men in black suits open the car doors. There sit 10 cardboard boxes carrying the show’s critical stars: Oscar No. 3453 and 51 of his fellow Oscar statuettes. Steve Miessner, the Keeper of the Oscars, rides along with them.

He and the security guards load the boxes onto two dollies, and each is sent up a backstage freight elevator accompanied by an armed guard.

Miessner leads them down a winding hallway and into an office in the bowels of the Kodak. Two guards stand at the door as he dons his trademark white gloves and begins unpacking the precious cargo: 50 foam containers, each with one Oscar inside.

No. 3453 is among the first he unpacks. Miessner examines it and notices a bit of packaging glue stuck to the statue. He pulls a blue velvet cloth from his toolbox, which also includes tiny wrenches and a pen light, and gently polishes.

One by one, Miessner opens the foam containers and places the golden men on a desk.

“I usually set them all out and put little medallions on them, because backstage you can’t see the serial numbers,” he says. (more…)
