Oscars Red Carpet: How to Get a Bleacher Seat

The 80th Academy Awards (host: Jon Stewart) aren't until February 24 but starting today you can register for a chance at a bleacher seat overlooking the red carpet. Thousands applied for 300 spots last year along the 500-foot-long red carpet, but you're feeling lucky, right?
The chosen voyeurs will be randomly selected next Monday at noon, and notified in March. Submit for up to four tickets per person.
