Tomorrow night, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce the winners of their 82nd annual awards. In anticipation, I am gorging myself on Oscar-related articles and trivia. Here are a few of the things I'm reading.
My favorite is the round-up of Oscar coverage by Slate which includes articles about the nominated films, video guides to picking the winners, and a look at the career of Oscar co-host Steve Martin.
Martin himself offers a hilarious peek backstage as he “liveblogs” the big show. Of course, the ceremony hasn’t actually happened yet, but since he’s hosted twice before this is probably an accurate prediction of how the night will go.
Now for perhaps slightly less-accurate predictions…Movieline consulted a psychic, Maxine of Psychic Source, to find out what she foresees for Oscar night. According to her psychic vibrations Morgan Freeman could take home a second Oscar and Sandra Bullock will look “frumpy.”
And speaking of Oscar fashion, Out magazine has imagined a world in which the male nominees ditch those boring tuxes and show up in haute couture. Check out the slideshow!
Finally, if you are planning a viewing party for tomorrow night you must consult the official Oscar party kit. No party is complete without Oscar bingo!
