We're going to the Oscars! Amanda Docter takes us onto the red carpet, into the Dolby Theater, and to the swanky after-parties.  Amanda has been to the Academy Awards ceremony eight times; her husband, Pete Docter, is the head of Pixar and has had a hand in creating many of the biggest animated movies of all time... and he's won three Oscars (for Up, Inside Out, and Soul)! Amanda dishes about trains on dresses; gifting suites; her glam squad; what happens during commercial breaks; how it feels to be on live TV; why the Oscar is the ultimate social lubricant; and which celebrity sulked when he realized his seat wasn't in the front row.  Amanda shares how the Oscars compares to other big awards shows... and how being seated across from Paul McCartney at one show created an opportunity that was just too good to pass up.
