The 81st annual Academy Awards is on TV Sunday February 22 with the ceremony starting at 8:30pm on ABC.
Stars strolling down the red carpet will start at about 5:30pm PST where you will be able to watch all the celebrities dressed to the nines talk about who they are wearing and who they expect to win.
This could also be the first time that Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie come face to face since Brad Pitt left Aniston for Jolie.
With the potential winners list perhaps leaked in advance, the winners may not be all that much of a surprise to some.
Will it be the underdog 'Slumdog Millionaire' for the Best Picture nod?
Will 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' take home all 13Oscars?
Will Kate Winslet finally win an Oscar after being nominated four times before?

Find out tonight when Hugh Jackman hosts the 81st Annual Academy Awards.

My friends husband's brother is nominated for his work on Hellboy 2, he was the makeup artist on it. It would be so cool if he wins. It is cool that he has been nominated. Good luck to him!!!

I can't wait to see what comes down the Red Carpet. Maybe another shocker like the dress dress BJÖRK wore? Is it 5:30PM EST or PST?

Due to its not being distributed, I Sell the Dead was totally shafted... definitely would have won in the Best Lo-Fi Victorian Zombie Alien Grave Robbing Movie category. Therefore, I'll only be tuning in to watch how Hugh Jackman does as host- I bet he'll rock it.
