Oscar Mania: And the winner is...

Records stand to be broken at this year's Academy Awards, and producers are hoping it will be viewer numbers. The big lures are Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin co-hosting the event (their promos are hilarious) and the fact that the 'Best Picture' category has been super-sized from five to 10 nominations. But fear not, it's being billed as the shortest ceremony ever. So, place your bets, root for your faves and sit back and enjoy the show.
