I have for the last dozen or so years since Sky started transmitting it, no reason to stop now, I want to see Jacquin Pheonix get something but I reckon it will be heath Ledger or his mate. Still, i also love the audience watching bit! See how old the guys have got and how well the ladies have fared in the plastic surgery capital of the world.

It usually lasts 3 hours, a few years ago - when Titanic won - it lasted nearly 4 hours and ABC weren't too pleased cos it ended so late on the East coast they lost viewers. So in recent years they've really tried to keep it around 3 hours by keeping speeches short and cutting back on musical numbers. So you might get some sleep before dawn." Brokeback Mountain" is the clear favourite to win best picture so no need to watch the last award!!
