Good evening, ladies and gentlemen - welcome to the night of the 83rd annual Academy Awards, <a href="http://www.oscar.com/">otherwise known as the Oscars</a>.

Folks from all over the world are gathering tonight to watch the show, and Oklahomans are no different. I'll be keeping track of what Okies are saying about the Oscars this evening with <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23okieoscar">the hashtag #OkieOscar on Twitter</a> (think of it as a virtual Oscar watch party), and I'll repost my favorite observations here on this post throughout the evening.

So, check back. The Okie Oscar commentary is bound to enlighten you.
