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.

Meryl Streep looks gorgeous... she's flirting with Ryan Seacrest....
I think Meryl should win. Sandra Bullock was great but Meryl was fantastic. I also hope Food Inc wins.
Meryl looks good! She doesn't always!
@Louise Cambridge Ont , Cool to have on blog tonight look forward to show .
@Dilan Zac Efron was like hte first up with Ryan on interviews...I do have to say he had this funny swoop of hair sticking up in the back of his head, not sure if it was on purpose or he fussed with his hair accidentally.
I adore George Clooney. What a stand up guy.
Hi Jack! This is a great and fun idea!!!!
Doesn't Jay Manuel from E look like Red Buttons from the Poseidon adventure.
George Clooney needs a hair cut
Some of the earlier interviews Barbara Wlaters did brings back memories .Last year for this tradition .
Greetings Jack et al....!
Now Jack, I was thinking Best Actor was going to be won by the "beard" as worn by Jeff Bridges...ha!
Although I love Colin Firth....
My Oscar-watching may or may not include an ice cream cake and a Snuggie.
meryl streep looks amazing
...not watching...but this will be entertainment enough...hey...fonthill...what's up?
Many stars walked on red carpet!!!!!! Awesome!!!!
@ Jack,
I am thinking Avatar will be winner tonight!
Joel Madden Dj cool , i wonder if Lady Gaga will make an apperance
@Stacy from St. Louis
Yeah, I noticed you when we blogged before and didn't want to steal your thunder! It's great having another Stacy around! :o)
My pre-show picks. Picture: Avatar – Direcctor: Kathryn Bigelow – Actor: Jeff Bridges – Actress: Sandar Bullock – Sup Actor: Christoph Waltz – Sup Actress: Monique and Animation: Up.
They are all favorites so not really going out on a limb here.
Hey Jack, your hosting duties include providing us with snacks, right? (Right?!) I'm going to need some chicken fingers at about hour three.
Anyone else watching Barbwa Wawa and blogging on CNN?
thanks for clearing that up Renee. 🙂
I did see Zac Efron and he do have a great hairday Nathan 🙂
Avitar was really amazing the only one i've seen .
Jodio~ agreed on the Charlize Theron dress. It is a Madonna move and not red carpet. I love the color but the dress is ruined. ;(
Joel Madden is DJ of the AFTER Oscar party
What's your fave movie Jack ?
Gaby Sidibe has a great attitude about the event!
Its GREAT to see George Clooney with his fans! 🙂
He is so nice and fun!
I have seen 7 out of 10 (Missed A Serious Man, An Education and Precious)
Scissors and forks on her dress... ? hahaha
George Clooney's arrived...my oscars red carpet is complete!
I love Carey Mulligan's dimples!Ü
No powder blue tuxedos this year for fashoin darn .
Anna Kendrick is really cute. She was also really good in Up in the Air.
Has anyone seen all 10 best picture nominees? I've seen four, so I feel 40% qualified to be here.
Brad Pitt should win that award for that sruffy goatee he has . Ha !
What is on charliz theron's chest??? Wow!
So far Charlize is worst dressed of the night–DISLIKE!
I think Sandra looks great
Can't wait for the oscar's
Kathryn Bigleow could prove to be the first woman to win for director this year kudos to her .
miley cyrus said billy ray had to stay home and babysit so hilarious....her mom didn't want to stay home this year she wanted to get her party on!!! LOL!!!!
Michelle..is there an Oscar where there was not a wardrobe malfunction...all good..part of the show...
for Best Actor I'm predicting a big win by Jeff Bridges and his beard.
Steve Martin is a wild and crazy guy just you right Jack ?
Should be funny with Alec too .
sjp dress is all kinds of wrong. mariah always looks like she's about to burst, and also i wish hugh jacman was hosting again, but i love steve martin so i hope it's a good one.
whoops i meant "jacks" see what happens when u in a hurry . sorry jack 🙂
I may not be the most fashionable (currently wearing fuzzy flanel pants and tshirt) but who dressed these people this afternoon! They really don't look exquisite as I demand to be!
Will watch but by-passing pre-show..three hours of show should be enough...is there a new Rat Pack forming Jack????..enjoy the show everyone...
Okay...I know no one will notice..but Zac Efron has awesome hair today!
Ooh Ooh.... George Clooney sighting. Now, he could wear a paper bag and still look good. 😉
So pulling for everyhing The Hurt Locker! My favorite movie not only of the year–but fave movie for the past many years!
