Oscars To Suck? We'll Liveblog Anyway
The end of the writers strike left precious little time to prepare for Sunday's Jon Stewart-hosted Academy Awards ceremony, whether you're a star, a party host, a writer, a critic, a fan or a mere TV blogger. Hope you had time to get together some nachos. We'll be liveblogging the festivities here, beginning at 8 p.m. ET Sunday, when the actual show begins on ABC. But we're not particularly optimistic. Nikki Finke, anointed by her strike coverage as Hollywood's most plugged-in oracle, says to expect "The Worst Oscars Ever In The History Of Hollywood." Yikes. And for those of you who still having trouble filling out your Oscar ballot/betting slip, try this bit of handicapping.
But there is this bright spot from Finke: "This year's unofficial Academy Awards Drinking Game will consist of counting the number of times the cameras cut to Sean Combs (aka P. Diddy) in the audience. His star turn in the ABC telemovie Raisin In The Sun airs the day after the Oscars, on Monday night." So get your Stoli ready folks, and if you see our grammar begin to erode, you'll know why...
Hee! I love liveblogging. I think you should keep score of the number of times you drink and update as you go :)
