Everything You Care About That's Going to Happen at the Oscars
Missing this would be social suicide.
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?
