Torontoist Liveblogs The Academy Awards

By Cal MacLean

oscars07_header.jpg
According to the website for the 79th Annual Academy Awards, it’s only one day and four hours until this year’s ceremony— and yes, Torontoist is that excited. Not only will we be watching, we’ll be liveblogging the event, as we did for the 2006 civic elections. Think of it as a written audio commentary, tailor-made for Torontonians.
So if you’re near a computer—or have one of them there fancy laptops—we encourage you to juggle your television watching with some light internet reading. We’ll be starting at 7 p.m. so as to include Ben Mulroney’s red-carpet coverage (on CTV) in our own. How meta.

    Please tell me why I would come to Torontoist for this? I’ll watch it on TV or look at the real news sources for info, not your take. Please don’t act like a newspaper when you’re not.
    This is one of the most media saturated events in the world. Why not do something different like a poll on who Torontoist readers are rooting for for? Do something different please….

    I’d argue that a poll is exactly what every other blog out there will be doing. Liveblogging the event while adding a unique Torontoist take on the proceedings? That’s just plain fun.

    I hate award shows, so I guess I’ll be avoiding Torontoist at the same time.
