Livetweeting the Spirit Awards/Oscars

Well, it's finally here: Oscar weekend! Note that I will be live-tweeting the Spirit Awards ceremony tomorrow from the actual event and the Oscar ceremony from a viewing party at both the Back Stage and my own Twitter accounts.

For the big day, check out the official Oscar schedule here--note that many places say the festivities start at 4 pm PST, but there's a pre-show. The actual ceremony starts at 5:30 pm PST.And if you want to know where the parties are, check here.

As for final predictions....let's say the frontrunners are "The Artist" for Best Picture, Best Director Michel Hazanavicius and Best Actor Jean Dujardin, Viola Davis for Best Actress and Octavia Spencer for Best Supporting Actress from "The Help," and Christopher Plummer for Best Supporting actor from "Beginners." Those are pretty safe bets. However, things have not been this close in years in the Best Actor category and this year feels prime for some big surprises, so be sure to watch!
