The 98th Academy Awards featured emotional speeches, comical relief and a bevy of backstage fun. Security seemed to be posted every 100 feet (33 metres) or so and I had to go through two sets of metal detectors and have my bags sniffed by police dogs before settling into my position in the interview room, where stars go after they win an Oscar. The Academy Awards are nearly 100 years old but only five times in that storied history has there been a tie for an award. The last time it happened was 2013, when the 2012 films Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty tied for best sound editing. " Alas, it was not provided to those of us in the interview room, but the Loews did provide dinner and snacks for us throughout the night. " Also backstage, film-maker director Maggie Kang doubled down on her remarks during her acceptance speech at the ceremony, saying she's "just so proud of Korean film and movies about Korea".
