So the Oscar nominees were announced yesterday, and now you've got some movies to catch up on before February 22. But in Los Angeles, you don't just see the movies—you live them. Here's what to do after marking each Best Picture contender off your list.
Post-Movie Tribute: You'll want some live examples to illuminate the finer points of your perils-of-age-reversing insights—over a martini in the Peninsula, you should see plenty of people whose faces are younger than their bodies. That'll do.
Post-Movie Tribute: If you don't want to spring for the suite at the Beverly Hilton where Frost stayed while here to interview Nixon, a drink by the pool downstairs at Trader Vic's could be close enough.
Post-Movie Tribute: You might not think you can pull off that old Levi's look that James Franco was rocking. But Hollywood's latest vintage outpost, What Comes Around Goes Around, has an impressive stock to help you out.
Post-Movie Tribute: This is a tough one. Probably you'll just want to liquidate what you can, and cut a check to Literacy Network of Los Angeles—or tutor some kids at 826LA. You'll see.
Post-Movie Tribute: Speaking of game shows, maybe you and your date will be inspired to try for glory, a million bucks and a chance to meet David Hasselhoff on America's Got Talent. Local auditions for season four are next weekend, so you've got a bit more time to practice juggling the chainsaws and flamethrower.
