After I explained I didn't know the protocol for that particular event, as I am sure the security is extreme on that night, but I would do my best to contact someone at the Academy and quickly process the exec through the levels of security and get him in before the show. She said "NO----Unless you are a celebrity like Angelina Jolie, you don't get in without a ticket. No excuses." So, while I'm sure that is the case, how was I supposed to answer that question to her satisfaction? I was just saying I'd do my absolute best to take care of the situation - which is what any good event manager does. Minder

I would make sure that they made it to their seat immediately by making sure that the problem never happened in the first place. By keeping a list on file and where each person is seated, we would not run into the problem on the first place. First rule expect at these problems to occur, place appropriate safeguards so no one impersonate someone else or anyone is prevented from attending. Minder
