Your Oscar night primer - Oscar Nominations, Academy Awards 2010 - Salon.com
Your Oscar night primer - Oscar Nominations, Academy Awards 2010 - Salon.com: "I will admit to being totally suckered by the snippet from a 'Grease' number that will apparently be performed by Oscar co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway on Sunday night. Sneaking that out the way they did -- via Franco's Twitter feed -- is a nifty use of social media and sends a signal that the Oscars are hipper and savvier under the new regime. Or simultaneously hipper and suffused with nostalgia, which is even better. Now, I'd be delighted if they decide to do the whole damn show as selections from classic musicals: 'West Side Story,' anyone? 'Oklahoma'? 'The Band Wagon'? But any tiny flub by either of the stars -- a missed dance step or a mistimed lip-sync -- will launch a tide of snarky Tweets to rival the parting of the Red Sea."
