As you may
already know, the Academy Awards are tonight.
Are you excited? Do you even care? Will you make
time to watch? Personally, I'm actually more
interested in the answers to those questions than I am the
show or the films and actors that will be deemed the best of
the best from 2008. Feel free to discuss.
Here's the news. Read on.
