Deja Vu: It will look a lot like 1929--the year of the first Academy Awards Ceremony--tonight at the site of the first ceremony, the Hollywood Roosevelt. Guests will come to the Original 1929 Oscar Party hosted by publicist Christopher Harris and actor Dean Delorean in period clothes, and the menu and decor will be the same as it was for the first big event. Party highlights: David Carradine will give a tribute to his father, the late John Carradine, who was present at the first Academy Awards; and Russian artist Zinovy Shersher’s oil painting of the first Oscars will be presented to the hotel in memory of the late Ruby Keeler, who also attended.
