Los Angeles Revs Up For Oscar Week

When it comes to Oscar nightlife, there's a clear line -- often marked by police tape and velvet ropes -- between those who get in to the famous parties and those who do not. After an hour at the big stuffy parties, try the new Trousdale in the infamous Bar One space along the Sunset Strip. Inside, you'll find an edgy lounge with black-and-white decor and A-list DJs spinning for a celebrity clientele.

For something low-key, head to Cecconi's Restaurant in the former Morton's space, where you'll find some of the best bartenders in L.A. Open to the public for the night, the indoor-outdoor setting is a great way to enjoy a space that's part of Oscar party history.
