I've always sucked at predicting the winners of the Academy Awards. However, it's still fun to give it a whirl. The 84th Academy Awards, first staged on May 16, 1929, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, will take place at the Hollywood and Highland Center on Sunday, Feb. 26 and will air on ABC beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The show, which will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide, will be hosted by Billy Crystal.
This year all the hype has been centered around the movie, The Help and its stars, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. The silent movie, The Artist has also received a lot of buzz. George Clooney (The Descendants) always gets attention as does the incredibly talented Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady), who has been nominated 17 times!!!!
