Oscars Preview

We're not predicting an Avatar win, we just don't have any Hurt Locker posters.

The 2010 Academy Awards are this Sunday, March 7. They are being hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. It should be an interesting and entertaining show.

We were disappointed to learn that the Sacha Baron Cohen skit was scrapped for fear it would offend his highness, James Cameron. The skit reportedly involved Baron Cohen as a blue-skinned female Avatar character. Ben Stiller was to translate his speech, to reveal that Baron Cohen is pregnant with Cameron's love child.
