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.

Blue seems to be the most popular carpet color tonight. Hmmm, bodes well for a Avatar win methinks.
Okay we get it! Lots of celebrities in nice clothes. Can we get on with the show now?
where the heck are Dustin Hoffman and Angelica Huston...Gene Hackman, Al Pacino.... paging real movie stars, real movie stars to the red carpet, please.
Why are they letting Kathy Ireland do this? Why is ABC torturing us?
Hi Casey!! Kathy Ireland was know as a model for years,I don't know what she's up to these days.
I'm sorry, they should not be letting Zac Efron near anything related to Orson Welles.
How did Kathy Ireland get the interviewee job??? seriously.
Can someone tell Sandra to change her lipstick? Otherwise, she looks great! Kathy – why?
OHHH Jack. So hilarious. Did anyone hear George say Elisabetta doesn't speak English??! Based on the look on her face, she's going to CUT HIM later
Sandra Bullock's makeup is really different tonight, especially the cheeks and the lips. She looks really different.
Sandra Bullock looks amazing!!! I hope she wins!
Kathy Ireland's biggest claim to fame was Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. But she used the momentum from that to build a empire, smart cookie!
@Jack, the file footage was weird.
@Casey Jones: Doesn't she have all her stuff at Kmart?
@Jack: Yeah, Reickhoff's feelings tainted Hurt Locker for me, but I still want to see it.
SWEET. MOTHER. OF. PEARL. Is ABC doing its own pre-show? Someone please set my hair on fire.
Ah Jake.....sigh.
switched channels–just saw the 5 supporting actress in one stage being interviewed. very cool!
Is Kathy Ireland an interior designer? I'm really not certain. Isn't that where I know her name from?
interesting they chose all file footage for the opening montage. maybe because so many of the newer stars are unknowns....
Did anyone see Brad Pitt? Was Angelina with him too?
So...I saw Hurt Locker. I thought it was riveting but I'm not sure it was the Best Picture of the year. Not all veterans like it, either. Paul Reickhoff, head of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for American wrote a critical piece on Newsweek.com
Sandy, Sandy.. fingers crossed
Maybe I should wait until the end of the program to ostracize myself, but I think Avatar is a tad overrated.
saw jlo in armani prive. her make up looks nice.
Meryl Steep rocks! Finally she nailed it!
Almost time to turn the channel.
Found it. Ack! Who's that scary looking guy! Wow, wouldn't want to meet him anywhere.
@Mark Brack who is Barbra Wawe?
I agree! Jack when are they gonna get it together and ask you to present!!??
"No, no, no ... I never wear pleated pants." Best red carpet soundbite by Jason Bateman.
alright, let's get the show started. I'm red carpeted out. GET. INSIDE. PEOPLE. Yes, George Clooney, I'm looking in the direction of you and your bangs.
Sandra Bullock is really stunning best dress! Cool dress!
Looking for the Oscars on TV now. I'm in Denver, anyone know?
Kate Winslet looks lovely.
If I was an actor, I'd like to have a career like Jason Bateman's. Great roles–yet not the leads–but still a working, respected actor.
"Give me Warren Beatty, Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood and a high heel full of pinot grigio and I'm all set."
In that order?
sorry got kicked to the other tv. Still big screen. Kate Winslet has a nice dress. Very simple and elegant!
I am seriously disturbed by the fact that Miley Cyrus is presenting tonight–I think Jack is more qualified to present than she is!
I find all the younger actors to be rather dull. Give me Warren Beatty, Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood and a high heel full of pinot grigio and I'm all set.
who cares what Aniston say about Gerard Butler? Yawn...
I'm looking forward to the Homicide in Hollenbeck special. That's right, I"m live-blogging commercials too.
I hope Sandra Bullock wins. My favorite movie is "While you were sleep". It is the best movie ever!!!! She is smart and funny.
Loving Rachel McAdams. Great dress and earrings.
@ jack– yes. I agree on Cyrus' attendance. Boring......
Is Miley Cyrus too grown up? Don't push it too hard, girl!!
lol @ Jack! I guess since I despise Hannah Montana I didn't realize she had been there twice before!
Eeew... Miley, BLECH.
what happened to antonio banderas?! that beard-ew
Oh, c'mon. Hannah Montana's there? What next, Justin Bieber?
Roberts bow tie is so ugly.
Miley Cyrus is so GORG! Her eyes are beautiful! She is all grown up now!
