The stars are getting ready. The red carpet is being protected for a possible rain storm over the next few days. Fans are getting excited. Office pools are running rampant (the category Best Short Film is always a "killer" for me), and most importantly, the Presenters for the 83rd Academy Awards have been finalized.They are "Hollywood Royalty." The "Cream DE la Creme" of Tinseltown. The "A List" of "A-Listers." Yep. Break out the bling bling. Here are the list of "official presenters" for this Sunday's show. BTW. All of these "official" presenters will be given one of those amazing "gift bags" that are stuffed with literally the coolest and "hottest" items anyone could ask for. Hey, how come they don't dish out "Gift Bags" to Bloggers?
Anyway. More fun to come. Keep you posted on all the "hot" inside stuff.
