Don't watch the Academy Awards alone. Spend Oscar night on washingtonpost.com.
Join Celebritology blogger Liz Kelly for a live chat beginning Sunday at 6 p.m. ET and running through the end of the ceremony. We'll talk fashion highs and lows, red
carpet snafus, the ceremony's best (and most cringe-worthy) moments, winners, parties and more Welcome to tonight's online Oscar party. My name is Liz and I'll be your host. So glad you could join me since my husband sequestered himself far
away from the TV about 10 minutes ago. But for us, the brave Oscar watchers, the party will keep going until the last statuette is awarded and James Cameron has left the building.
The red carpet is already awash with journos jockeying for position and among them is our own Jen Chaney, who has already started tweeting from her vantage point outside the Kodak theater. While we're all safely parked on our couches, we'll check in with Jen from time to time during the evening to find out what we're not seeing on TV.
Sitting passively on the couch not enough? Print out on of our three Oscar night bingo cards to play along throughout the evening. Could you kindly post which shows/networks you will recommend to live chat participants so that we're on the "same page" as you... other than the obvious live broadcast at 8:30 p.m.? Many thanks!
Liz Kelly: I'm watching the E! red carpet coverage, helmed by that fame [rhymes with "dough"] Ryan Seacrest, though TV Guide channel is also broadcasting live from the carpet. Then, at 8 p.m. I'll switch over to ABC HD to watch their 30 minutes of highly scripted red carpet moments before the main event starts at 8:30.
I won't be breaking away to watch Barbara Walters's Oscar night special -- her last one, alas -- so if anyone wants to report in on any especially poignant Barbara moments, we'll post your dispatches. And for true diehards, E! will be covering the after parties once the ceremony ends.
