The Oscar nominations are to be announced this morning, and for the first time since the 1980s I won’t be experiencing them in real time … unless my flight to New York is delayed, in which case I’ll be glued to my laptop and live-tweeting the crap out of ’em.

So keep your eyes on the box to the left at 8:35 am EST and see how it plays out … or just go live your lives and maybe read my coverage of TIFF’s semi-silly Stephen King series in this week’s issue of NOW. I had forgotten how much I loved the first two hours of The Mist … and how much I hated the last three minutes.
