I was fortunate to have access to Hollywood award shows while working at Zap2it.com around 2005. Zap2it.com is a sister company of Tribune Media. I was a designer and developer there. Whenever the Oscars or the Screen Actors Guild awards came around I would be given full media access. My job was to get our photographer’s media drives and take them back to our office. I had a decent SLR camera so I would squeeze between some pretty aggressive camera guys near the red carpet. The camera guys had to wear tuxes so I stuck out because I would wear street clothes. Most were shocked seeing me there, and one of them called security. Johnny Depp in this picture I took, was like, “WTF is that guy doing there??”.
