What I have to say about that is... not necessarily.

"Cheats" at the Kodak Theatre with suitably attired extras can be done, and cut in with existing footage...

It just depends on what you want to go for...

Cheers!

My only thought is that it'll be VERY expensive to shoot.

It's the climax of the film, that they have made it to the OSCARS and have won the award. the scene following it is the after party.

I feel that if the scene of the presentation of the award is cut out then the story doesn't flow as well.

Are they at the OSCARS in order to win an award? Is it THAT important to the story?

You could always get by without specifying what award ceremony they meet at.  Just had scenes based around the red carpet, after parties, etc.

I'm working on a screenplay and I've gotten to this scene where two of the characters are at the Oscars. I'm not really sure what i should do about it. Should I make up some other award that they win so as not to make it confusing? And with the nominees should there be scene clips from other movies that are 'runners up.' I've found writing this scene quite confusing.

any help would be much appreciated Thank you
