Oscar awards gatecrasher hired to prevent security breaches

September 16-30, 2011

It happens only in Hollywood. Post a gatecrasher to catch a gatecrasher. Oscars in 2009 hired the services of a professional gatecrasher to plug the gaps in security.

Scott Weiss, the poacher turned gamekeeper oversaw security operations at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, ensuring there was no gatecrashing of any kind. Weiss, a former actor who had a small speaking role in Robocop, has been known for breaking into events with Clint Eastwood, Prince Charles, David Beckham and the Spice Girls, not to forget Emmys, Grammy, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild awards.

The final frenzy of gatecrashing was for a guerrilla documentary film called The Crasher, which details the meticulous lengths he went to in order to gain entry and then get himself photographed with stars of the silver screen.

Armed with a camera, a laptop loaded with Photoshop software, coloured paper and a portable laminator, Weiss photographed and then mocked up fake security passes to gain entry.
