A day of Oscar

We followed Access Hollywood reporter Maria Menounos during the Academy Awards and found out how this champion interviewer spent her day.

7 AM: I wake up in my comfy bed and head right to the kitchen to boil some hot water—my morning ritual.

7:30 AM: Throw on my shower cap. No need to wash my hair; it’s better dirty. Jump in the shower.

8 AM: As I say in my book, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Life, organization is the key to happiness, so it’s time to start organizing my stuff for the day. I pack my research cards that list talking points on every nominee and presenter, as well as sweats and Uggs in an overnight bag for later in case we shoot or party late.

9:15 AM: Kiss my pups goodbye and head to the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, next door to the Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars are held. My glam squad is waiting in my room. We discuss the look I’m going for and get to work.

10 AM: Hair time! This is my last chance to read my research. My makeup artist quizzes me—I’m right 50 percent of the time. I’ll get it by the time I head out for sure. Hopefully.

11 AM: While in makeup, I order room service. Cheeseburger and fries with extra ketchup, please!

NOON: My food arrives. Panic sets in. My glam squad wants more time. One hour to go!

12:30 PM: Final touches. The Access Hollywood wardrobe angels pop in to get me into my dress and accessorize. I never wear Spanx. If I have to hide something in a dress, it’s not the right dress for me.

12:45 PM: Photo time! I text my mom a shot—she loves it!

1 PM: Time to hit the red carpet. Our Access Hollywood publicist arrives to walk me down it.

1:15 PM: Bulbs flash like crazy. All I hear is, “Maria, over here; Maria, over the shoulder!”

1:30–5 PM: Interviewing away. Time starts to fly because once the carpet gets going, it’s like rush hour. Everyone comes at the same time, and we get backed up. Madness!

5:05 PM: Off to the InStyle Oscar viewing party to socialize and watch the show.

8:05 PM: Start the party circuit. Mingle with the winners and congratulate them.

10:30 PM–MIDNIGHT: Tape Access Hollywood for the following day.

12:05 AM: Party-hop with a friend.

3:30 AM: Home in my bed.
