Seating plans have to be meticulously organized to assure ex-spouses will not be near to each other and stars' fragile egos are not damaged by where they are positioned to sit.
Fragile egos have been known to get reduced to tears if they’re not happy with their placing — but one more cause of angst is who they are seated near. Just picture out what would happen if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were to be placed next to Jennifer Aniston.
As one insider says: ‘It’s like organizing the seating plan for a wedding ceremony where some family members have issues with each other. Except that you have to quadruple the stress and factor in the massive egos.’
From 1980 to 2002, as controller of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Spoerri was responsible for orchestrating the seating preparations for the 3,100 Oscar attendees.
And in 22 years, he made just one slight slip-up — seating volatile actress Sean Young close to James Woods, after Woods had just ended their relationship.
