A Sneak Peek at Oscar Acceptance Speeches
The Oscars are this Sunday night — and by now all the nominees have already scored their free tuxedos, gowns and jewelry from designers desperate to have their names mentioned on the red carpet.

And with the long wait ahead, they’ve got plenty of time to chatter.
