Well, here we are at the big night, the Academy Awards. We're looking again at the Northern California edition, so we're seeing the Oscars in a different light than usual: the start time, for instance, is 7:00 p.m. Pacific, which would be 10:00 p.m. Eastern. That means it's not the last program in prime time, but the first; the Oscars are followed by the shows that the rest of the country normally sees before the awards, and for those stations that do carry Nightlife, they won't be seeing it tonight, even though everything would be done by then. And did you notice how long the timeslot is? Two hours and 30 minutes; more than enough time, in my opinion. One thing I didn't mention on Saturday is that, on a night devoted to celebrating movies, it's appropriate that we have two all-time greats on after the Oscars: All About Eve at 11:45 p.m on KGO, and Double Indemnity at 11:15 p.m. on KXTV. Being able to watch a classic movie after the Academy Awards: now that is something to celebrate.
