If it's February it's Oscar time, and this Sunday, February 25, the Academy Awards will air at 5pm ET/8PM PT, on "ABC".
One of my favorite funny girls, Ellen Degeneres, will be hosting the Oscars, and she alone may be enough incentive prompt me to watch, or rather, listen, to the show.
Ellen will also be hosting a huge post Oscars party, and you can enter the "Crash The Oscars Bash Contest" for a chance to join her.
As long as we're talking about Ellen, here's a snippet about her plans to have, or have her partner, Portia DeRossi, have a baby.

There are so many of my favorite actors and actresses competing against each other that in some ways no matter who wins I'll be happy. I have to say though that as much as I like Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith, I'm sort of pulling for Forest Whitaker. He's a great actor whose time for serious acclaim has come.
I like all the women up for the Best Actress award, so to be completely logic-less I'll root for Penelope Cruz, based on my preference for her looks.
Sorry, I am after all just a pig of a guy.
Here are some photos of past Academy Award winners and a story about the Oscar curse.
And if you're in the vicinity of the Academy Awards location here's some advice on how to be a Paparazzi.
This year’s Oscars will be especially interesting. There are several movies that I think deserve to win and quite a few ground-breaking documentaries too. One of them is the film “Jesus Camp” by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, which features what an organization called “Kids In Ministry International” does. Basically they recruit children and make them “talk to God.” The provocative nature of the film’s contents have prompted outrage from non-evangelical Christians and secular people, who suggest that Kids In Ministry International founder and director Becky Fischer employs brainwashing and child abuse to achieve her ministry’s goals. We recently got an exclusive interview with Pastor Becky Fischer if you and you readers are as intrigued as I was, please check this link: “Oscar-Nominated Jesus Camp’s Leading Lady Speaks Out” http://www.orato.com/node/1820
