Oscars Luncheon – It’s just not about who but what…. are you wearing?

We’re excited to have covered the Oscar’s Luncheon with our correspondent, Kristyn Burtt, in attendance. This is one of those events where you get credentialed as press but can’t do video and can’t do photos but can take lots of notes and plug into their feed.

Being an online TV network sometimes has it’s challenges at these events because we don’t operate like a traditional TV station nor do we have the ability to take their video format and try to use it… so we go with what works…. that is until it’s digital all the way and we can take advantage of the interface.

Who do the nominees like to hang out with?

84th Academy Awards, Nominees Luncheon, Brad Pitt and George Clooney

Brad Pitt and George Clooney – they’re the cool kids.

84th Academy Awards, Nominees Luncheon

What are the ladies wearing? It’s still to early to know.

Only a few nominees had an answer, the rest were still being courted by the couture houses so we’ll be surprised when they walk the red carpet.

Eighteen of the 20 nominees in the acting categories were among 150+ Oscar nominees who were in attendance Monday, February 6, at the Beverly Hilton for  the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to honor for this year’s Oscar contenders at the annual Nominees Luncheon.

Don’t worry, we will be back with more Behind the Scenes coverage on the road to the Oscars with our Behind the Red Carpet coverage featuring Kristyn Burtt.

Eddie Murphy Confirmed to Host the 84th Academy Awards

Eddie Murphy

I’ve always loved Eddie Murphy – through good and bad. From Saturday Night Live to his many movies from Beverly Hills Cop, 24 Hrs, Nutty Professor, stand-up comedy, music and to his upcoming movie Tower Heist.

From music to standup to action, Eddie has entertained us on TV, movies and live on stage and got a 2006 Oscar nomination for “Dreamgirls” for a supporting actor role (see clip below).

We’re excited to see what he brings to the 84th Academy Awards show.

 

… from the official press release: Murphy began his career at the age of 15 as a stand-up comedian. In 1980, at the age of 19, he joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” becoming the show’s youngest cast member to that point, and bringing to life many of the show’s most memorable  characters. His 1983 album “Eddie Murphy: Comedian” won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording. It included portions of his groundbreaking HBO special “Eddie Murphy Delirious.”  In 1987, “Eddie Murphy Raw” was theatrically released and went on to gross over $50 million. Murphy made his feature film debut in 1982 with the classic “48 Hrs.” and would go on to star in such box-office hits as “Beverly Hills Cop” and the “The Nutty Professor” and “Shrek” franchises. All told, movies in which he has performed have earned in excess of $7 billion worldwide during their theatrical releases.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.
