Question

One of the strangest jobs at the Oscars is that of a seat-filler. When one of the _______ needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler _______ in the star’s seat. That way, the TV cameras won’t show any _______ seats. Kathy Muller talks about her night _______ a seat-filler:

I was told to reach the theater in the middle of the day, wearing my dress for the evening. There were about 200 seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told _______ we should and shouldn’t do (for example, “Don’t talk to the stars”), and then we waited _______ five o’clock. That’s when the stars started coming.

The _______ started at six o’clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when _______ came to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette (香烟), we were told to go and sit in their seats. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. By the end, I was really _______, but I was happy, __________ during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (he’s very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts.
