New Delhi:
"You should know me by now." That's Billy Crystal's bio on Twitter. We should, especially in context to the Oscars. He'll be hosting the show for the 9th time this Sunday.
So knowing Billy Crystal, expect parodies on Oscar-nominated films and a whole lot of laughs. Remember the standing ovation he got last year when he came to introduce a segment featuring Bob Hope hosting the first televised Oscars? "So where was I," Crystal joked on entry. "Some things never change. "
Bring it on BC. The Oscars are waiting.
A student of maths from Harvard says he has a formula to predict winners at the Oscars. Oh boy. The student, Ben Zauzmer, has a list of winners from Sunday's big night. Logical winners. Not hunches. No gut feel. Ben's forecast is available on his blog.
Spoiler alert! Click here if you want to see Ben's predications:

What else is hot on the Oscars? Apps and instagrams (lots of people out there hoping BC instagrams). Just viewing the Oscars isn't enough anymore. @TheAcademy has been busy tweeting. Hollywood's biggest night is rolling out the red carpet for fans to ensure they get the best possible all-round experience. There's also a "second experience" feature for tablet and smartphone users. Simply put, viewers can access live camera footage from multiple cameras placed backstage and on the red carpet, while viewing the show!
First broadcast in colour in 1966, the Oscar party is rolling on and how!
