Countdown for the Oscars 2010

Oscar wrapped in plastic

The preparations to the world’s largest movie award gala are in full swing on March 4, 2010. German World takes you behind the scenes to Hollywood Boulevard which has been blocked from traffic at Highland Avenue since March 1, 2010. Where hundreds of celebrities will soon stroll along to the cheers of the onlookers, all Oscar statues are still wrapped and the red carpet is covered in plastics on March 4, 2010.

Gloria Pink

After checking out the set-up area, we stopped at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Hollywood Boulevard for its annual open house supported by businesses of the Hollywood community. One of them is Gloria Pink, owner of “Pink’s Famous Chili Dogs”, the famous hot dog joint on La Brea Avenue that has become one of Los Angeles’ landmarks. Gloria whose parents started the business in 1939 told German World that Germany’s most famous TV show host , Thomas Gottschalk, once shot a scene for one of his productions at “Pink’s” and became one of her customers. Celebrities like Sandra Bullock, John Malkovich, and Richard Dreyfuss also belong to Pink’s regulars, standing in line just like anybody else.  Dreyfuss always comes in for a “Mild Polish Hot Dog with mustard, kraut, fries and a coke”. We tried Pink’s signature “Chilli Hot Dog” and simply loved it.
