PEOPLE Magazine–my favorite Oscars recap {GIVEAWAY}

2013 February 20
by Emily Hill

I promise I only buy PEOPLE Magazine for the articles and not for photos of gorgeous men like I found inside PEOPLE Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive issue.

Wait, where was I? Oh yes…PEOPLE Magazine and the Oscars.

I don’t watch a lot of awards shows but I do clear my schedule for the Oscars. We are serious moviegoers in this family, and with a few of my favorites receiving nominations (Lincoln, Les Misérables, Hugh Jackman), I’ll be danged if I let something like kids and bedtime get in the way of the Academy Awards.

Plus I love drooling/gawking/cringing over the red carpet fashion.

I might love it even more than the actual awards show.

Somehow with even the best planning I always miss segments of the red carpet and the show, but no worries because I have a secret, no-fail backup: PEOPLE Magazine 2013 Oscars Double Issue.

Okay, so maybe it’s not THAT secret.

I’m kind of looking forward to seeing this man…


…and this one.


I’m also dying to see all those gorgeous dresses and fabulous bling sure to strut the red carpet. Even better? The commentary by fashion experts and celebrity gossip gurus. Those make for some seriously entertaining reading.

PEOPLE Magazine 2013 Oscars Double Issue will hit newsstands on March 1st. I’ll be snagging a copy—and then hiding in my bedroom closet with a Diet Coke and a Twix bar. NOTE: This special issue of PEOPLE Magazine is only available until March 18th, so get it while you can.

Feel free to join me in the closet (as long as you bring your own Diet Coke).

By the way, if you think you have mad PEOPLE trivia skills, you can test them out for a chance to win one of hundreds of rewards cards. Click this link to play.

And now for the GIVEAWAY!

PEOPLE Magazine is giving away one (1) $20 Target gift card!

This giveaway will be administered via Rafflecopter.
