Tonight, the 84th Annual Academy Awards will be held at the Theater at Hollywood & Highland, formerly known as the Kodak Theater! We asked our members to forward their articles about the Oscars to share with you everything they can about this year’s event. Below, I’ve itemized each article by author as some authors have more than one article. See what our membership has to say!

We have several contributors this year, most following the jump. Our submissions are from Rick Aragon, Jason Bailey, Tim Brayton, Erik Childress, Mark Dujsik, Susan Granger, Jesse Hessenger, Glenn Heath Jr, Wesley Lovell, Simon Miraudo, Jonathan Richards, Jerry Roberts, Norm Schrager and Betty Jo Tucker.
