¤ Pre-Oscars ¤

Hey guys! Hopefully you are all as excited about this evening as I am. It's time for the 85th Annual Academy Awards in just a bit over 6 hours. Actually I should stop calling them 85th Annual Academy Awards since producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have decided to call them just The Oscars to appeal to a younger democraphic. Here is one of the official posters:
