Oscar update: ABC says it’s sold out all the ad spots for the Academy Awards show on February 24th. There’s a lot of anticipation of solid ratings because the nominated movies are all incredibly popular this year. Plus, Adele and Barbra Streisand are performing, with more names to come. Meanwhile, the Academy has announced that Meryl Streep, Jean DuJardin, Christopher Plummer, and Octavia Spencer are all presenting to the new winners this year. As my pal Scott Feinberg pointed out today on Twitter, Meryl Streep–our greatest actress– will likely present to our greatest actor–Daniel Day Lewis. How very cool!
