On the eve of Hollywood's biggest night, I get my red carpet on with Hollywood Reporter Deputy Editorial Director, Alison Brower. She takes me through her impressive origin story, with a solid opening as an editorial assistant for Helen Gurley Brown's Cosmo and working her way up to run magazines for two of mighiest O's on the planet—Oprah and Dr. Oz. We talk about the seismic shift in post-Harvey Hollywood and THR's role in giving wronged women a platform to tell their powerful stories. Alison breaks down the kind of stories she looks for and offers do's and don'ts for aspiring writers looking to pitch the magazine. Lastly, I indulge in a little Oscar night prediction for best picture of the year. Spoiler alert: It's not The Emoji Movie.
