Oscar Travel Buzz Mon 13 February 2012
We’re getting excited about the forthcoming Oscars, and to get us into red carpet mode we’ve found some amazing holiday properties in the places where some of this year’s Oscar-nominated movies were filmed.
Fancy discovering glamorous Hollywood where cult silent film The Artist is set? Get yourself to LA…
 Just a short cab ride away from the iconic Sunset Strip, Hollywood Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, the recently renovated West Hollywood Cottage is the perfect Hollywood base. Open plan and very stylish, it also features a large, lush garden and a six person hot tub.
Sleeps up to six (three bedrooms), from £1,896 week.
Inspired by the thrice nominated spy thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy? Discover Budapest, where a lot of the filming took place…
 While the exploits of this action-packed spy thriller are set in Prague, the actual filming took place in the Hungarian capital Budapest for budget reasons, so we’ve picked the stylish Krista Apartment , right in the heart of this beautiful city, to get you into spy mode.
Sleeps up to six (two bedrooms), from £54 per night.
Want to relive some of the action from the super stylish My Week with Marilyn? Head to Kent, where a lot of the filming happened…

Madonna’s film W.E. is dividing the critics, but it’s been nominated for an Oscar in the costume design category. If you were taken with the look, style and setting of this film, check out glamorous Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, where much of it was filmed…
