READ THIS: Oscar mania accelerates
March 2, 2010  | By Diane Werts

Just like the Super Bowl, there's always overkill when it comes to the Oscars.

Which take place this coming Sunday (8:30 p.m. ET on ABC), in case you missed the 7,000 promos, ads, pre-shows and other assorted hype/hoopla.

But this story about the Oscars caught my eye because it seems even wackier than usual. Who knew they had rules about which celebs could be in even the commercials of the Academy Awards telecast?

Turns out, there is such a thing as too much Jeff Bridges . . .

omg, that seems insane. What is the rationale for it? It's not like it can influence the voters or anything like that -- kinda late for THAT. :-)

I think (for TV) there should be an award for Best Comedy in an Odd Couple Mode. They could call it the Oscar, Oscar, Oscar(s).

Sorry.

I think the Oscars are suffering from a major case of taking themselves way, way, way too seriously.
