Tonight’s the night! The Oscars broadcast begins at 8 (Eastern) 7 (Central) on ABC. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart will host once again. E! television will be televising Live From The Red Carpet beginning at 6 (Eastern).
I’ve seen just two of the pictures nominated for Best Picture, Juno and No Country For Old Men. I liked them both. They’re very different films.
Here’s a list of the major nominations:
Best Picture
Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Best Director

I think Marketa Irglova, winner for “Falling Slowly,” Best Song, from Once gave the best speech. My favorite line was, “And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don’t give up.” A not-well-known, independent musician…now, that’s a nice change! She almost didn’t get a chance to say it; kudos to the Academy for bringing her back out to give her speech.
