AC360° Producer/Writer
Starting tonight at 7 p.m. ET join us here for the AC360° Academy Awards Live Blog. The winners, the losers, the debate over Best Supporting Kardashian…we’ve got your running commentary. And sure, considering all that’s going on in the world, the Oscars aren’t hugely important. But if you’re looking to get away from the bleak news-of-the-day for a few hours, then this blog is the place for you.
We should also point out that we’re not encouraging you to change the channel from CNN, but if you’re going to watch the Oscars anyway, you might as well watch them with us.
What makes me qualified to lead this live blog? Well, I once worked at a video store/tanning parlor. And I own Fletch on VHS.
If you would like to participate in our Live Blog (and we hope you do) please follow our rules.
Here are some of them:
1) Please keep your comments short
2) Don’t write in ALL CAPS (we don’t like screaming)
3) No links
4) Use your real name
Please note that due to volume we may not be able to post all comments.

Hello Jack and bloggers
I 'm perdicting a wardrobe malfunction for Mariah Carey, she's bursting a tthe seams .
Sandra Bullock looks great
Greetings everyone! Thanks for hosting Jack : )
I wish Hugh Jackman was hosting The Oscars again.. He did such a PERFECT job last time! 🙂
SJP is killing me! What's up with that dress? And that hair?
runs in to jakcs oscar party >>>>
I have high hopes for Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. both brilliantly funny.
wait joan rivers is tweeting. i have to google that. thanks for the tip.
just killed the live feed of the red walk of death. the stupid yelling of the photo mob makes my skin crawl
mariah carey is taking forever on the carpet, like usual.
It's pouring down in So Cal...all that damp couture!
I said the same about Miley slouching... She's not exuding confidence...
no that other guy was there...the one in the wrestling movie, mickey rourke...well no one cared to interview him.
seacrest looks like haha zac efron.
jesse james walking into sandra bullock's shot.
zoe saldana dress is not that bad.
I have to agree about Zoe's dress. I was expecting more from her. Miley looks like she can't breathe! ;p
Hi Jack, everyone...I don't really watch the Oscar's but I really would like to see Monique win...but I love your commentary Jack and I miss your blogs.
Just for the record, I taught A.J. Hammer everything he knows about being cool.
Many thoughts 2nite here
Miley's dress is victoria secret crossed with country bumpkin
I hope Gabby brings it home for her role in 'Precious'! She would prove that plus sized women ARE talented & DO matter!
@Stacy from NJ: I just added my city to my name to distinguish us a little more. So rare someone else spells it the same way!
@Kerstin: Wait, the Oscars has a DJ?
Do outbursts by viewers count? Because my father just sat on my box of wine.
Hello Jack and fellow Oscar bloggers!
So far, I'm not impressed by anyone's dresses. I missed seeing Mariah Carey's....Joan RIvers is tweeting and didn't have anything too good to say about her dress.... hehe
Will Prom King Jeff Bridges and Prom Queen Sandra Bullock win for best Actor and Actress? Or will Jeremy Renner pants the competition for a dark horse win in Best Actor? And Meryl's channeling of Julia take home the main course for Best Actress?
GO Cove!!! 🙂
These young stars need to stand up! The slouching in these expensive gowns is killing me!!
have there been any outbursts yet on the red carpet? didn't Gary Busey do something bizarre last year? I mean, more bizarre than usual?
I'm not getting Sandra Bullock's make-up...it doesnt really go well with her dress.
Sandra Bullock looks so gorgeous!
Hey there. watching the red carpet. Jack ~ Nicole is there becuz the hubby is dj'ing tonite in between sets. At least that's what they told Ryan.
guys, she's a ritchie. the better question is why is joel madden there... i mean what has he ever done? but i guess it's the same for her. lenny kravitz brought his daughter zoe and who's she again? apparently the oscars is going for the under 25 set this year. something about more funnies and more ratings. it will be interesting to observe.
Love this live blog idea, but having to refresh my browser to see the new comments is going to be a pain. Oh well. Thanks for hosting this, Jack. Is there no way for you to feed your updates to your Twitter account?
Zoe Saldono for worst dress - what is she thinking!
Nicole Richie is accompanying her boyfriend Joel Madden who is Dj-ing the Oscars
I wish Johnny Weir was attending. Would love to see his red carpet look.
Okay, folks, I've got my box of wine and extra large bag of cheezits. Let's get this party started!
Hi Jack, everyone. I think the better question is why is Nichole Ritchie anywhere?
Can't wait, Jack. Your Grammy commentary was hilarious.
Got my popcorn, got my candy, got my viewing pal (my cat Tarabelle). All ready!
hahah i heard that she definately looks pregnant. she's thinner than james cameron's wife, and that joel madden looks hot.
and that sandra bullock's dress is not all that. there are a bunch of no no's at the oscars, but who am i to talk. tv watching now. thanks jack. las tyear was great :).
Everyone look's so beautiful!
Better question: WHY IS MILEY THERE?
She is my vote for worst dressed, wow, she looked horrible!
I wonder who's gonna be worst dressed this year. I used to believe i've seen it all but nope, there is always that one actress that gets it all wrong.
yay this will be fun...go Precious!!!
Evening all... Thanks for hosting this again jack!
I have Director: Kathry...n Bigelow The Hurt Locker and Best Picture: The Hurt Locker
The real question is WHERE. ELSE. WOULD. SHE. BE.
i am so excited. i am putting off compiling portfolio work for a very crucial interview for oscars red carpet. my friend is working and live blogging red carpet also for a tv network and she has the best tweets. i'm going to go and commandeer a tv right now. good luck jack.
Looking forward to dishing about the Oscars! Thanks for hosting!
Jack, who is your call for Director? Can Cameron beat his ex?
Good evening everyone. Welcome to our live Oscars blog. We've got an hour of pre-show fun before the awards ceremony starts. Hopefully by then I'll have recovered from seeing Nicole Richie on the red carpet. WHY. IS. SHE. THERE?
