86th Annual Oscars Are Almost Here!

It's that time of the year again!

The 2014 Oscars are just around the corner, and this year, if played right, will be a game changer.
2013 was the year of ground breaking movies that stepped outside the ordinary films we are used to getting nominated. Examples of this are Her, 12 Years A Slave, and Gravity. Not to mention some very promising nominees for best actress/actor and best supporting actress/actor. This could finally be Leonardo DiCaprio's year! The seemly devious internet might not be too happy with that considering that means no more hilarious meme's and gifs jokes referencing DiCaprio's lack of an Oscar.

This years host will be Ellen DeGeneres, a big step up from last years Seth MacFarlane which was neither favored by the viewers or the celebrities. His jokes were immature and 'wrong' on so many levels, but luckily he stated he is 'defiantly not presenting the Oscars again'. This will be Ellen's second year hosting the Oscars. People loved her hosting in 2007 hopefully she will be a big hit again. The Oscars are going to be live March 2 on ABC at 8:30 p.m ET. The Oscars Red Carpet live will air at 7:00 p.m ET on ABC.

Here is a preview of some of the categories and nominees:
