Oscar Weekend Special: Event Predictions

Here are some of my predictions for this year's event:

* There will be at least one, if not multiple, musical numbers from the hosts - Anne Hathaway and James Franco both of whom have been known to sing in the past and Hathaway even took part in a musical skit with Hugh Jackman a couple of years back.

* There will be a few pointless montages during the proceedings, I'm not talking about the in memorium section but for example last year we had a 'tribute to horror' that included Edward Scissorhands.

* There will be some shots of some uncomfortable celebrities trying to smile while listening to Gwyneth Paltrow perform the Oscar-nominated track from Country Strong.

*During the 'in memorium' segment at least one of the faces will be greeted with no cheers of recognition whatsoever.

*There will be some kind of interpretive dance or gymnastics routine during the night as that seems to be a favourite as of late.

*The winner of at least one of the Short Film awards will be played off the stage by the 'you're boring us now music'.

*As neither Ben Stiller or Will Ferrell are on the list of this year's presenters I reckon it will be up to Russell Brand to do the 'comedy bit' that is usually reserved for one of those two gentlemen.

*Ricky Gervais' name will be mentioned at least once during the evening.

*A pretty actress will recount her tales of having to suffer through the sci-tech awards as one usually gets send to them as they never usually get to see a real woman normally.

*I will regret staying up to watch The Oscars once again when 5am rolls around.

Let's see how many of those come true during the night.

Just to let everybody know I will be tweeting live on twitter.com/mattstvworld if you want to check it out.
