There are only a few things that can get me up early in the morning. One of those rarities are the Oscars show (well, and Bacon – hence having bacon while watching the Oscars). Great movies, amazing actors and actresses on the red carpet, and NPH (Neil Patrick Harris) as this year’s host and I’m willing to shed a few hours on my sleeping habit for this!
