The Oscars are this Sunday (February 26th) and for the fourth year in a row, The Hodgepodge Podcast will be live-blogging the event! So, if you’ve always wanted The Oscars to have live commentary like a sporting event, but in printed words only, this is the place to be! Jimmy Kimmel hosts the event, (The Oscars, not our liveblog), and we’ll finally all get to see if Hollywood can resist giving La La Land every award that night. The fun will start around 8PM EST (the telecast on ABC begins at 7PM with red carpet arrivals, but the actual ceremony starts at 8:30PM). So, swing on over during the show and see if Doug and Dirty A admit to blubbering uncontrollably once they get to memorializing Carrie Fisher.
