One moment, please. We have to collect ourselves as we mentally prepare to witness all the magic to come at the 87th Academy Awards—or, as we humble folk call it, THE OSCARS. No offense (okay, some) to the sister awards shows—Grammys, Golden Globes—but the Oscars bring about a je ne said quoi specialness that's just...happy, lively, even euphoric.
So what's in store for this year?

Will it be taken on a Samsung again? Seems like the perfect product placement for the iPhone 6 Plus *wink wink* Apple.
Update 2/20: Dove and Twitter Will Speak Out Against Judging Appearances
Last year, there were over 5 million negative tweets about beauty and body image. As celebrities hit the red carpet, Dove will air a commercial promoting #SpeakBeautiful—a movement to stop this kind of speech once and for all.
Update 2/22: Lady Gaga's Performing a Tribute to the Sound of Music
Everyone please shut up during this performance. Please and thank you.
Tune in to ABC on February 22 at 7 p.m. EST to watch everything go down live (and hang out with us here for our coverage of everything that matters). In the meantime, start placing bets on all the nominees. Our money's on any film featuring a British accent.

When I'm not stalking future-but-never-going-to-happen husbands on Facebook, you can catch me eating at one of NYC's B-rated or below dining establishments—A-rated restaurants are for basics. Fun fact: Bloody Marys got me into eating celery on the regular. And for your safety, please do not disturb before 10 a.m. or coffee, whichever comes first.
