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.

Wondering about stars... r they thinking 2 realize a good job or an Oscar on the set?!
Poor jlo sitting next to robin williams.... LOVE some NPH!!!!
I don't know Jack, I am a old fogey and NPH opening the show upped it caliber for me.
Awesome entrance. Gotta love NPH, he's just fantastic.
Sammy looks good on her Red Carpet : )
they are also presenters!!
Neil Patrick Harris sounds a right hot mess. I love him but someone PLEASE turn his mic down!
I was getting bored with the Red Carpet, this opening act isn't doing much for me either.....
Really? I mean, I like Neil Patrick Harris. He's very funny and talented. But these are the Academy Awards. I just don't get it. I mean, I know why they do it. But they should resist the temptation to pander to younger viewers.
Neil Patrick Harris is so cute!!!!! I love his dancing...... His tux really shining knight!
oh noooo..not Neil!..save us!!
Doogie Howser...ummm...Show tunes? I won't say a word *Snap for the kids 3 tmes*
Where from Samy learned to drink??! Are u wetting her Chappy with chivas?
I love Neil Patrick Harris!! Great opening!!
I like the twist. It's different and not so stuffy.
NPH! Woo Hoo!
I KNEW NPH was lying when he said he wasn't part of the show! Awesome!
Neil Patrick Harris!

Love NPH!!
The nominees open the show? What?
Who cares about Branjelina?? They get enough attention w/out being there!!
What do you guys think of Kate Winslet's dress? I'm thinking it's kind of boring. She usually knocks it outta the park.
Ohhhh, Meryl Streep's dress was gorgeous! Epic & classy!
Meryl Streep.. love her! Who doesn't like her in Death Becomes Her.. ha! "You pushed me down the stairs..."
Say hello to my co-host. She's already drunk. http://twitpic.com/16rykm
Absolutely Meryl is THE lady of CLASS!!
Meryl Streep is gorgeous.
Kathy Ireland's hair looks like Princess Leia's side buns! #Fail
S.J.Parker is beautiful as ALWAYS!!
Finally we are moving inside. Geez, Sammy was slacking in the crowd control. LOL! It must have been the wine.
Meryl Streep is very elegant. Nice dress, though I do not like the white for dress!
Meryl's dress made by Chris March of Project Runway fame!
Yay Meryl Streep! I would give her an Oscar for reading out of the phone book.
Perfect dress for Meryl Streep. She looks lovely.
Meryl Streep should start a church. I'd follow.
Meryl Streep is in the the "hizzie"
ok, why is Taylor Lautner there?? REAL Stars Please!!
Kathy Ireland is interviewing people on ABC. Painful. Pain. Ful.
Am I watching the Oscar Red Carpet or the Nickelodeon awards?
I love Gabourey's dress and it fits well to a plus sized form! #GoTeamGabby!
Brad and Angelina are not there
@Jack Gray. Talk about the old guard! We haven't seen Kathleen Turner for ages.
Kate looks awesome as always!!
UH Charlize Theron's woman parts are covered by flowers. That is awkward.
Sorry moderator, is this better?
Charlize looks like she's got a muppet grabbing her b**bs from behind. LOL!
Steve Carell is amazing and hilarious!
I love Steve Carell!
Christopher Plummer is my favorite one of movie Sound of Music!
