Oscars Tomorrow!

[kamreadsandrecs]

Although I have an aversion to getting up early, I just might make an exception for tomorrow. The live coverage of the Oscars starts at 6:30 AM tomorrow on Star World, but I suspect that's just the Red Carpet Coverage, which is fun to watch but isn't worth getting up that early for. I might set my alarm for 7:00 AM, though, just to be sure. I doubt the Red Carpet will be done by then, but as they say: better safe than sorry.

Below is a list of my Oscar bets in the categories I deem important. My main bets are in bold, dark horses are underlined.

I read the top part of your post and was like... but tomorrow's Saturday in the states. And then I read your edit -_- I'd invite you over para malapit sa DLSU on Monday but I know you have classes.

I know T_T. I'll just have to watch the prime-time coverage on Monday night.

Yup. It will be in Monday - at exactly 10am.

CORALINE.=))

But I will be in the middle of class when that happens, which means I'll have no choice but to wait for the prime-time coverage on Monday night.

*sighs*

Yes, big yay for Coraline being nominated! It's up against some really, really tough competition (double-whammy of Pixar and Disney), but it does stand a more than fair chance despite everything :D.
