Being the movie enthusiast that I am, the Oscars are like Christmas morning for me. I love watching all the stars in their gorgeous gowns and sophisticated tuxedos. Having the room filled with all of those actors is like Disney World. Some people think that the Oscars are boring and way too long to watch. I am glued to the television two hours beforehand watching the red carpet action. This years Oscars were no different. I loved every minute of it.

The Orlando Sentinel actually had really good coverage of the award show. The day before the show, there was a photo gallery of all the nominees. It was toward the bottom of the homepage. The day of the Oscars there was a tab on the top of the homepage entitled "Oscar Swag" which talked about all the items that the actors are given. Actors are given an insane amount of free merchandise just for attending the award show. The Orlando Sentinel focused its attention on the Daytona 500 and Jimmie Johnson on Saturday.

During the red carpet portion of the evening, the Orlando Sentinel was broadcasting it live through DailyMotionUSA. I thought this coverage was great for people who couldn't watch it on television. The red carpet portion started about an hour and a half before the show, which was good compared to other news stations. I know E news began their coverage of the red carpet at noon.

I definitely didn't think that the Orlando Sentinel would be original in their coverage. They proved me wrong, because they had an article was that constantly being updated throughout the show, with winners. After the show, they also had a photo gallery of red carpet moments and best and worst moments photo gallery as well. The homepage main story after the show was about the Oscars. I thought all of the coverage was great. As usual the Oscars were entertaining to watch, and I can't wait until next year. Cheers to all the winners of the evening
