Oscarlicious excitement

Today is the day! Yes, the day I look forward to more than Christmas but not more than Halloween. It’s Oscars day folks. Forget the frocks, for me it’s all about who will be taking home the shiny, naked, gold man. You’re probably sick of all my Academy Award musings, coverage and predictions so thankfully (for you) after today you won’t have to hear another word about it . . .until next year. For me personally this has to be one of the most exciting Oscar races to date and not just because of the nominees. After last years lowest rated and least watch Academy Awards ceremony ever, the pressure is on our very own Hugh Jackman to jazz up the awards and regain viewership. For the first time ever the names of award presenters have been kept firmly under wraps and word has it a huge musical number starring Jackman, Beyonce, Anne Hathaway and High School Musical star Zac Efron will open the show. In another first for the Oscars, journalists and media cameras have been kept away from rehearsals. Therefore, whatever show producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon (of Dreamgirls fame) have in store will truly be a surprise for all. Most importantly for Australians the Academy Awards are being broadcast live for the first time ever in HD direct from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. The who’s who of Hollywood are due to walk the red carpet any minute now so I’m off, enjoy the show and stay posted for updates on the winners.
