The Hottest of Hot Messes

Anyone currently devouring the luscious Robert Hofler biography Party Animals: A Hollywood Tale of Sex, Drugs, and Rock ’n’ Roll Starring the Fabulous Allan Carr, which is almost certainly the best book you could take to any kind of beach ever, is obsessed with Carr’s legendarily horrific 1989 Oscars (the one with Rob Lowe and Snow White).

Almost all YouTube evidence has been violently purged by the Academy, but this slightly-blurry clip of the Stars of Tomorrow (Blair Underwood! Patrick Dempsey! A bunch of pretty people who did not become The Stars of Today!) survived due to being mislabeled as the 1988 Oscars. Score for YOU.
