I know it’s March Madness for most these days, but a few weeks back I experienced the Red Carpet Madness as the announcer for “The Oscar Red Carpet Pre-Show” for ABC on Oscar Sunday March 2nd, 2014..

This year it was all about the fashion for me. With Robin Roberts, and Lara Spencer hosting it was a jam packed ninety minutes of fabulous celebrities and their formal Tuxes and gowns.

Just days before, on February 27th, yours truly had the distinct honor of announcing the first ever, Oscar Concert, at UCLA’s Royce Hall.

Each of the Academy Award nominated composers had their song performed by the Academy Symphony Orchestra.

It was a glorious evening, the music was stunning, and I must applaud the Academy for putting this concert on, and hopefully it was the first of many to come.
