Good Morning!

Here is the first of what will be many, many blog postings today on Oscar Sunday.

It's been quite a weekend so far here at Yahoo! Movies Oscar Blog Headquarters (also known as my apartment).  I've been busily catching up on the remaining nominated movies I need to see, arranging for interviews, trying to read the notes I've made in darkened movie theatres, and making sure I have enough popcorn and caffeinated soda to get me through the evening.

I'm setting the DVR for tonight's festivities and I see that E! has just begun its live red carpet coverage.  It's 9 a.m. in Hollywood.  The carpets aren't even being vacuumed yet.  According to the TV listings, the coverage on E! is scheduled to continue -- live -- straight until showtime at 5 o'clock.  That's a full eight-hour workday.  How will they fill this time?

They're starting out by interviewing their own: Kim Kardashian, who, according to the hostess, is now a "style and trend expert."  I suppose if the style is showing a large behind and the trend is making a sex tape (and then having a reality show), I'm all ears.

Next, it's hairstyles, shoes, jewels, and monkeys.  Yes, monkeys.

It's raining in Los Angeles.  I wonder if the floods are coming to wash this all away.

TV is about to get much better.  In The Valley of Elah is OnDemand.

I'll check back in afterwards.
