Oscar sighting


When Lady Gaga finished her "Sound of Music" tribute and the audience gave her a standing ovation, the camera showed Kurt Urban, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez and then a woman in a red dress with a young girl standing next to her, just prior to Julie Andrews coming onstage. Does anyone know who this woman is?

Lady Gaga was great. Her performance and then having Julie Andrews being part of this moment were the highlights of this Oscar cast. The producers should review tapes of the 1950s and early 60s to see what worked then and take heed. I am old enough to remember those and even though the technical awards and honorary Oscars are now a separate event, the clock keeps ticking away and there is absolutely no reason for a 3 hour and 40 minute broadcast. Not to contradict myself but cut corners elsewhere and let the HONORARY awards be presented live at the Oscars itself. Stars and those recognized for their achievements deserve a standing "O" as in days of yore.

The answer to my own question. I was looking up something else and came upon a photo of Lady Gaga with this woman. They appeared in US Magazine, and it was taken at an Oscar rehearsal. The woman is Academy CEO Dawn Hudson.
