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.

For being so handsome, George Clooney looks pissed!
George was being funny. That was a glare of "DOn't make a stupid joke about me". But in a humorous way. He's funny as all get out. I thought it was funny.
Jack, thank you for telling me! I've been trying to take them down by demanding my free online movie .
I believe George was pretending to be pissed off.
Supporting actor-was hoping for Damon
LOVE that Jimmy Kimmel commercial ... Canadians miss alot when the home broadcasters highjack the feed
Penelope Cruz is wonderful, and with that dress she was amazing!!!!!
Can you say: Blind Side! Hands down! Jack, I Iike your co-host. Where is Don Lemon?
why does george clooney look so miserable??
So does George Clooney's date/girlfriend have to have her hands all over George as they are watching the Oscars? Well...at least one hand because the other one was adjusting her top to make sure nothing was showing....ha!
Is it just me or did George Clooney look pissed off.
NPH is hillarious!
CTV (Canadian here, awww yeeeeaaah) just cut (very awkwardly) to a loreal commercial. I think I'm missing the other nominees!
Sandra Bullock..Sandra Bullock..I hope she wins.
Sorry, Sammy is her not him. Still don't mind her drunk, so joy us, please. ^_^
Yay for Christoph Waltz
Why is Miley Cyrus there? Seriously?
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Christoph Waltz!!!!! Good one!! Nice speech!
Miley Cyrus? Really?
Nice speech Christophe!
Cablevision customers...ABC is apparently back on. WABC just sent out an alert here in New York.
Woah, Kristof. What a speech.
Christoph Waltz, awesome performance. He was definitely the favorite for the award!
YAY! Christoph Waltz! My tumblr list is going explode.
Sandra Bullock's make-up just isn't right, lipstick is too red. George C., doesn't look happy in the audience this evening. Wonder why?
I am a bit surprised by the supporting actor choice. He's good, but I am surprised.
Neil Patrick Harris is funny and a great song and dance man. My point is that he's not a movie star. When I watch the Oscars I want to see genuine, iconic, A-list movie stars. NPH is great for Emmys and Golden Globes.
Christopher Plummer ... I remember him in The Sound of Music ..
I love Stanley Tucci but the guy from the Sound of Music is so old and the Austrian guy from Inglorious is hysterical
No need to see any of the movies just watch the nominations holy long!!
Smile George Clooney, sssmmmiiilllleeee!
I can't get the Oscars with my Cablevision service. So saw NPH online and thought I was looking at something that could not be live. Is this a repeat?
Now that was funny. . . .Steve and Alec are good.
I hope Sammy doesn't pass out before the end of the show. Is she still smoking?
I thought Alec seemed uncomfortable–stiff
Welcome bloggers this is going to be fun. I hope Blindside wins.
These jokes on the Oscars are KILLING ME! And not in the funny, side splitting, milk through the nose laughter kinda way! Epic fail!
Sammy is a lady first and foremost......but secondly, she's a drinker
SJP, J LO & Charlze Theron looks are very unattractive in their dresses. Helen Mirren and her gray lace look does not work this time. Maria Carey appear HUGE...
Meryl Streep who looks elegant and stylish. Sandra Bullock also looks fantastic, it takes one hell of a figure to pull off a clingy dress like that.
Inglorious Bastards was great. I loved Brad Pitt's fake Italian.
I'm just watching to see (LIVE) that Avatar loses (hated that movie and its worthless dialogue. so. much.), and I heard that Robert Downey Jr is presenting, so... there's a reason to watch TV for some 3hours.
But any more of this host-banter and I'll just have to put in Iron Man. Oy vey!
Steve and Alec are cracking me up
I am relying on this blog for all information as I cannot watch the Oscars.
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are good.
Will Sammy say hi to us somehow? I don't mind him drunk!! 😀
Thank God that preshow is over! Those Kathy Ireland were so awkward! I wanted to stab my eye out.
Adam Shankman gets 2 thumbs down if he's responsible for this pairing of Baldwin & Martin
tom cruise!?
Ooof. So far Steve and Alec are like pizza and ice cream. Just because you like them both doesn't mean they should be on the same plate.
I like the two hosts.Steve and Alec have good comedic timing together.
NPH was awesome. These jokes, on the other hand....
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are great. Smart funny...loving them.
I am not too sure about Alec and Steve. They are both funny but this is getting boring.
