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.

@Bonnie, the Lakers played in Orlando today but I don't recall seeing Jack in the audience. I watched the game and they didn't show him
Has anyone seen Serious Man? It looks really good.
Tom Ford is beyond gorgeous!! I wish they would remake Oscars into mini him.
Oh..how funny Ben is tonight.
Thanks Jack. I enjoy live blog with you and everybody so much. You guys are so funny.
Got to go for now. I'll try to be back before the show is over. If not, have a good night. ^_^
Are the Laker's playing?
Star Trek trivia: by far the worst hate mail I've gotten for making fun of something.
please dont wear a hat to the oscars – no one cares if you're bald
I'm just wondering if this will wrap up before my alarm goes off in the morning?
Yay! Get it, Star Trek!
I saw that movie enough times to really appreciate this win. I also consider it a sort of tribute to Zachary Quinto's eyebrows.
Yea! Star Trek wins a award!
Ben Stiller .. awesome!
Star Trek is very good! It's my favorite in this category!
Oh my god...Ben Stiller...That's hilarious. You looks so strange. LOL
yea, she jumped right in there and took over and he looked so confused...poor guy!
@Jack Gray Lets be honest here, it's not the Oscars without Jack Nicholson's sunglasses......
Can we have an award show without Ben Stiller??
I LOVE what Ben Stiller did! I don't think, however, that James Cameron was a fan...
would love to see Ben Stiller be creative instead of copying everyone else's creativity
Ben Stiller is so awesome!
Ben Stiller just walking on stage is funnier than Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin hosting the show
Ben Stiller should always have a tail.
Thank you Ben Stiller for waking up the show!
Has anyone cried yet? I don't want to say the speeches have been bland, but...
What can I say, I like drama.
Red hair rude lady = Kanye 2.0.
Hahahaha .......... Ben Stiller's Avatar !!!!!! Very funny !!!!!!!
Ben looks good blue!
Thank you Ben Stiller for finally adding some entertaining!!
That was very strannnnge.
@Barry: I don't know why Jack Nicholson isn't there. Frankly, it's not the Oscars without him.
Ben Stiller is a riot!
Great presentation by Stiller. Very funny!
HAHAHA Ben Stiller – Avatar spoof.
Ben Stiller is awesome!!!
wow they cutting off the mics tonight 🙂 o well 45 secs is not enough time
what was with that woman cutting off her partner in his acceptance speech for Music by Prudence? He was trying to say something so personal and she just jumped in as if he was completely unimportant! How rude!
The purple poodle is the Avatar lady! Did those 2 have the same designer. This is boring and did that woman just wake up?
Fantastic tribute to John Hughes – hope Mark Boal's Oscar for best original screenplay for The Hurt Locker is a good omen for more to come – best movie and most importantly best director – fingers crossed...
Oh, oh. We might have another Kanye West interruption!
Well, I guess when facial cues dont work you have to resort to something.
Does anyone know why Jack Nicholson isnt there tonight??
I think that guy just got Kanye'd by the woman in purple.
Wow! 6 years to make that French film. And no reaction from the snooty crowd or smooth transition.
zzzzz part – good time to take the dog for his business
Well, there is your Oscar moment Jack. Dude is talking and gets highjacked! Did tha woman win a award too?
haha, they started playing "Thanks for the Memories" to get those people off the stage. Stay classy, Academy.
Wow, did I miss something? Or was that rude?
what 's with the woman taking over the acceptance speech!!! get her off the stage
Oh NO! she didnt?!?!!!!! she just stole his time!
I know, Judd Nelson looks really, really old!
I actually would have been okay with it if logos WERE harmed during the making of that film.
