Personally, the one thing I am immediately thankful for now that the writers' strike is officially over is the fact that the 2008 Oscar Awards will go on unhindered and we can carry on with all of our speculation, coverage and live diaries until the cows come home or the liquor is gone.

Today Sid Ganis sent out this following note to all press:

I am relieved that the men and women of the entertainment industry are going back to work and I am ecstatic that the 80th Academy Awards presentation can now proceed full steam ahead with talented writers working on the show, a fantastic array of presenters and performers and, most importantly, the ability for all of our honored nominees to attend without hesitation or discomfort.

On Thursday, February 14, Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates and I will have many, many details to share about the show, and we will do so at a 10 a.m. press conference at the Academy’s headquarters.

I join Sid in his joy and if you haven't done so yet, click here to check out the official RopeofSilicon Oscar Home Page with links to all the latest Oscar related stories and coverage we have for you in the coming weeks as the 80th Academy Awards will arrive on February 24th!
