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.

Can someone explain those mini lamps?
the song from Crazy Heart is beautiful. are they not performing all of the nominated songs this year? Bummer.
Steve and Alec were great! But Niel Patrick Harris has stolen the show so far!
Crazy Heart song gonna win ???
Wow, Miley really is slouching. Why is she there again?
Don't think Alec and Steve are that funny. Agree about Miley...why is she there
someone may have posted this but people in the audience don't look that happy tonight.
Oh, yikes. I take back my Miley jab from before. Yeah, that wasn't painful AT ALL. Sheesh.
The "Stu" Song from the Hangover should've been nominated.
I'm just impressed by Miley's reading skills
why is Miley Cyrus here...not just the Oscars, like here in general?!
Someone tell Miley she forgot her shirt.
Oh, non-nominated teenaged girls should not be invited, much less asked to speak.
jlo was the best dressed
Up is best movie I have seen! I wish I will go to see Up movie.
I like this Amanda girl.
siegfied and cyrus???? amanda is an actress and I think she's funny, but Miley????
Best Animation goes to Pete Docter – Up
Miley looks classy tonight.
alright, those of you who think George Clooney is annoyed. Um, he's not. It was a joke. He was playing along. Sheesh. Moving on, folks.
It's looking like prom night right now.
Will someone tell that girl to stand UP? Stop schlumping your shoulders!
Fantastic start! Love the Martin and Baldwin combo – and the opening song HILARIOUS! Although poor Taylor Lautner seemd to not understand any of it.
Christoph Waltz best speech i seen
UP is a great, great movie.
WEll, so far, they are keeping it short and sweet.
I bet his parents are sooo disappointed Pete Docter isn't a Doctor. I mean, how cool would that be? Paging Dr. Docter.
UP is a movie so exciting! I always cry in the same parts !!!!!!
Isn't it funny that the guy who won for Up looks like a cartoon character?
I didn't realize Michael Phelps directed Up.
Cameron Diaz looks so pretty. Is she nominated for something this year?
Yahh..Up wins. Love it.
Yeah.... Up won! Loved that 3-D animated film. Great story line....
Yay!! Up wins!!
Has anyone spotted Daniel Day Lewis? Is he even there? That's the only person I want to see.
Up is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, what is up with George Clooney ??? I thought he had a sense of humour ... he must have left it at home tonight
UP is the next winner !!
Good luck to Avatar and it director, Cameron. Great creative work, hope be appreciated.
YAY for the dog from UP.
THANKS!! ABC BACK ON!
I think the Clooney looking so miserable was part of a bit.
Re: Clooney– pretty sure he was just playing along.
Re: The set– looks like all Las Vegas hotels designed between 2002-2005. Not necessarily bad, not necessarily notable.
Re: The iPad commercial– OMG, Apple, WE GET IT.
Does everyone in the Oscar audience looked totally stressed out or is it me? Maybe a reason to, but more than usual.
Classy speech by Waltz.
