Just a tidbit during the commercial, a teacher I worked with and his wife attend the Academy awards almost every year as seat-fillers (I can't think of the technical name for it). He said when they see someone leave a seat to go to the restroom, or for whatever reason, they rush to sit in it. This is so there never are empty seats when the camera shows the audience.

I forgot if they got paid, but got to briefly meet stars. He seemed to really enjoy it. Who would have thought?
