George Clooney will be one of the 4 people Barbara Walters speaks to on her annual Oscar special, airing Sunday before the Oscars tonight!

Oh cool! I wonder if she will be able to make him cry. She makes everyone cry on her show.

Speaking of George and the Oscars -- will Sid be there as part of the Syriana "group" or whatever? (ya' know how everyone involved with the picture in a major way often sits together at one table or spot).

That would be majorly exciting!

No. The Kodak has limited seating, so only nominees and presenters are able to attend. If Syriana was up for the number of awards that Brokeback Mountain is, then he might have gone with the group, but there just isn't room.

Awww! Oh, well .

Thanks Mel.

Probably drawing a long bow with relevance to Syriana here, but it's so much fun that I thought I'd share.

If you're watching the Oscars, the BBC has put together an Oscar Party Pack. No Sid masks on offer, but you can print off the George Clooney mask to pin onto your nearest and dearest for the evening
