It’s that big date in the film world as The Oscars will be announcing the winners of the 2013 awards, this year there are some superb nominees for the Golden Statue.

The 2013 Oscars ceremony takes place on Oscar Sunday, Tonight, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and televised LIVE on ABC in the United States, as well as in more than 225 countries worldwide.

The 2013 Oscars will be introduced by the very funny Seth MacFarlane, so that in itself is well worth the excuse to stay up late to watch

With all the work that I’ve been doing with the film reviews and meeting some amazing celebrities in the last 18 months or so here on Blazing Minds, I’m really looking forward to seeing how some of the films that I’ve reviewed and enjoyed do in this years Oscars.

The Oscars will start with Live on the Red Carpet on UK TV at 11:30pm on Sky Living and at 1:30am the Oscars will be live on “Sky Oscars” ch303, but don’t forget to follow my twitter, @BlazingMinds, as I’ll be tweeting some of my thoughts to what is winning and losing, of cause I’ll be using the #Oscars hash tag

I will also be updating this post as the night rolls on with the winners of the awards in the list below, it’s going to be a fantastic night, my only wish is that I could be there with the stars, but never fear, I will be cracking open my bottles of wine while watching the Oscars through the early hours

Anyway enough of me rambling on here the list of the Nominees for the 2013 Oscars and as I mentioned earlier I will be updating this article with the winners as the night progresses.
