The Hollyweird celebs are apparently a tad nervous as the AFP relates in Armoured limos for Oscars:
Police sources said security for Sunday's planned Oscars ceremony will be the tightest and most far-reaching in the Academy Awards' 75-year history, as the United States pushes ahead with its invasion of Iraq.Unfortunately, all the trappings won't raise their IQ's.
...
Yet as officials promised unprecedented security to the Oscars' 3,500 guests, some celebrities are still worried about their safety.
"We have been flooded by requests for armoured limousines to take some very famous people to the Oscars," said Rich Cooley, vice president of global operations for SecureCar Worldwide which specialises in celebrity transport.
Cooley, a former Hollywood bodyguard, offers Mercedes and BMW limousines with 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) of extra armour plating and bullet proof glass to ward off a close-range machine-gun assault or a grenade blast.
