Oscar Voting Ends Today, Michael Douglas, Jennifer Aniston Added to Sunday Show

Share

Hello Academy voters. Your long saga comes to an end today. Ballots, paper and electronic, must be returned to the Academy today by 5pm. That’s right. You still have a couple of hours to watch those animated shorts. But otherwise, the party is over. It ends just past Zero Light Thirty. Toss a Lincoln penny in the air even if it makes you Miserable. There will be a silver lining. And, as they say, Argo, you know what.

Meanwhile: Michael Douglas, Jamie Foxx (who will steal the show), Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd have been added as presenters to the Oscar show on Sunday. Douglas will be paired with someone very cool to present a Big Award. But let’s not give it all away at once! I don’t want to give any one a Syndrome!

More to come…
