Oscar Blogging (by Others)

So, I'll have to join blogger John and others in declaring: I don't care about the Oscars, either. I might tune in to hear Jon Stewart's monologue and the opening parody-thing, but that's about it.

Fortunately, if you're a fan of all the glitz and glamour and red-carpet shenanigans and such, you don't have to depend on me to blog the Oscars -- a whole gaggle of my cow-orkers are going to be liveblogging the event -- check out their event blog, Crashing the Oscars:

Pictured are four of the eight team members, who are very specifically not holding a replica of the Oscar trophy, because the photo is done in a very innocent and non-copyright infringing way.

Also, the folks over at Cinematical (who live for this stuff -- this is their time of year to shine) are going all-out, great guns for it too.

For those of us who hate Oscar but like movies, here are a series of visual and textual film quizzes that will keep you busy (link cadged from a Metafilter discussion thread).

Thanks -- Joe
