“Mom, I’m on the red carpet at the Oscars!” whispered a man behind me excitedly into his mobile and I knew I wasn’t the only one overwhelmed to be at the most glamorous event in the world. I boldly pulled out my camera and quickly snapped a shot of the gigantic Oscar beside me. It’s not cool but who cares, no-one can be cool at the starriest party on earth.
