The Oscars

on BBC One London

The 66th Annual Academy Awards

"It's a splendidly enjoyable piece of commercial hype," says Barry Norman, who reports from this year's Academy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles yesterday.

As the stars arrive, Barry will be making his predictions about the winners.
Among them is Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List", which he confidently expects to romp home with the gongs. Spielberg has been nominated for the best director award three times before, but has never won. This year "Schindler's List" is in 12 categories including best director and best picture.

British hopefuls are Emma Thompson (In the Name of the Father), Anthony Hopkins
(Remains of the Day) and Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List).

The programme will feature highlights of the ceremony, including all the main winners and their acceptance speeches, as well as clips from the winning movies. Barry Norman also plans to attend some of the post-ceremony celebrations to chat with the Oscar-winners. So he's keeping his fingers crossed that his predictions are accurate and he goes to the right parties.
