Exclusive: Security At The Oscars Was A Sham
For an investigative report for my forthcoming cable show, Dude!, my colleagues and I borrowed a limousine and attempted to breach Academy Awards security. We forged a limousine pass at Kinko’s easily and were able to get past a phalanx of security personnel. We got through to the red carpet in front of the Kodak Theatre with a minimum of effort. We made no effort to act as if we belonged; in fact, I was in the back of the limousine wearing a tuxedo and a headband shouting to the throngs of people, “I am Scoobie Davis. I am the surferdude. I am Owen Wilson’s illegitimate brother.” The story was picked up by CBS and the Associated Press and Entertainment Tonight has shown interest in the story.
