Grammys are gone; Oscars coverage on alert

The Grammys were last night.

I didn’t see a second of the show. I missed the whole thing. Didn’t matter, though. I got the full recap on NewsOK.com, thanks to George Lang’s StaticBlog. Good stuff there — great images, great commentary and lots of comments from our visitors.

If you really want to see what you know about the world of movies, join our Oscars contest. Make your picks on all the big awards that will be given out on Feb. 22.

But the coolest thing about our Oscars coverage will be the night of the event. We will have a live chat during the show – our experts will be giving their thoughts about the awards as they are handed out. And Brandy McDonnell (BAM) will be blogging live, as well.

I won’t miss the live show on Feb. 22. With NewsOK, it will be more than a mere televised event.


College Bowl game picks contest

Three things are always true during the college football bowl season.

1 – College football fans will comments on message boards and call in to talk radio to demand a college football playoff (I have my own theory, circa 1999).

2 – College football fans will complain about the terrible selection of bowl games.

3 – College football fans will make their picks for every bowl game, then proceed to watch all of them.

You can make your picks and compete with other NewsOK users through our U Pick’Em 2008 College Bowl Game Contest.

It’s OK to enjoy the bowl game and still wish that we had a true playoff system that still wouldn’t de-emphasize the regular season.

Sign up and enjoy. We won’t tell anyone.
