Up for Grabs: Bleacher Seats at the Oscars!
The New York Times reports: "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that 300 bleacher seats will be up for grabs in an online lottery. Beginning at 9 a.m. PDT Monday, movie buffs can enter for a chance to win a seat in front of the Kodak Theater for the Oscars scheduled for Feb. 22." And you know what that means: one last chance to see a certain Valkyrie actor in person before he goes from Nazi Tom Cruise to Academy Award winner Nazi Tom Cruise. [Oscars via NYT]
