After all the talk and hype, the 2009 Oscars are almost here, and the official Oscars Web site has all the information you need to follow the awards. You'll find the official list of nominees, coverage of the red carpet arrivals, details on TV coverage, and more. You'll also find videos from the nominated films, and exclusive video clips from Oscars telecast of years past. And you can play along at home live and pick the winners as the telecast unfolds.
The 2009 Oscars will be televised in the U.S. on ABC starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time / 5 p.m. Pacific, Sunday, Feb. 22nd. As fast as I know there will be NO Webcast of the show, so anyone telling you that you can "watch the Oscars online" is just scamming you.
You can get the official Oscars ballot here, in a handy PDF document. You can print the Oscars ballot, download it to your hard drive, or email it to friends and have a friendly competition to see who can get the most categories right.
For one of the interesting side stories to "Slumdog Millionaire," expected to be the big winner tonight, read about Loveleen Tandan, the Indian co-director of the film.

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, FREE Live Concert Download
With all the attention the film "Once" has been getting in light of its Oscar win the other night, I figure people might want to hear more music from the film than just "Falling Slowly." NPR's music podcast All Songs Considered featured a Webcast and download of a concert that the Oscar-winning songwriters and performers Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova did in Washington, D.C. this past summer.
The podcast of the entire concert, which runs about an hour and a half, is still available for free on the NPR Web site here. As far as I know most of the songs in this concert are from the film "Once." These are many of the songs that Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are performing on their current tour. They are performing under the name The Swell Season, which is also the name of the album that, according to the NPR Web site, they recorded before making "Once."

"Falling Slowly" from "Once" Wins Oscar
"Falling Slowly," the nominee from the movie "Once," has won the Oscar for best original song.
“Once,” a film about two singers making music on the streets of Dublin, was made for just $100,000.
The winners of the Oscar, songwriters Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, also played the lead roles in "Once" Both Hansard and Irglova are actual musicians, not actors.
Glen Hansard is best known in the U.S. as the leader of the Irish rock band The Frames. Marketa Irglova is a singer and songwriter from the Czech Republic.
Based on the popularity of “Once” in its theatrical release, Hansard and Irglova have toured together under the name The Swell Season, and have released an album of the same name.
