We at the JKT have always been huge fans of the movies - so this is our time to shine. The 79th annual Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 25th this year and you can watch them LIVE on ABC at 8 pm. Of course, if you are really into it you will already have established an Oscar pool among your friends and colleagues and will likely be tuned into the sometimes catty, sometimes fawning red carpet coverage which begins at, like, 2 in the afternoon. We hope that next Sunday you'll get the chance to pop some corn, tune in and shout at the screen along with us.
