The Oscars are this weekend.
We may not have gotten to the theater again this year to see the nominees for best pictures. And, it looks like we will be celebrating the Oscars quietly again this year. But, we can still enjoy watching the awards ceremony. You can make it a special occasion while you sit down and tune into this annual tradition.
