Academy Awards 2013 - The Big One!

All right! The Oscars are almost here - SUNDAY! - and we're almost done with the awards season! (And I will probably stop posting these kinds of posts. Maybe. Or I'll just revert to detailing the Internet awards. Although I will probably also be watching the Canadian Screen Awards on March 3rd, so there's that.) But because this is the big one - I'll update as I watch the ceremony! (I should be good to watch this one - the nice thing about a huge awards show is that more channels have it, and I'm not relying on one Canadian channel that might screw me over. Looking at you, Global.) I also livetweet - @Annoying_Dana.

EDIT: This is tonight!

Now, I do already have a post with the nominees in it, but it also has a long ramble about why I love the Oscars, and I want to keep that, so go check that out (http://danabettyjune.blogspot.ca/2013/01/because-i-have-no-life.html) and meanwhile, this post will be kept just for nominees and updating! (It's my blog, I can do what I want, right?)
Here we go! (Again.)
