#Oscars Watch Sacha Baron Cohen Spill "Ashes" on Ryan Seacrest & My Pick Viola Davis

Are you watching the Oscars? Our house is divided between the All-Star Game and Oscars! Looks like I"ll be watching the Oscars in my "Mom Cave."



But wait, can you believe that Sacha Baron Cohen poured "ashes" on Ryan Seacrest? What are your thoughts about that? I give props to Ryan for keeping his cool.





Who are you looking forward to seeing on the Red Carpet?

I'll be cheering for The Help stars Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, along with Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn .

Who do you want to win? Best dressed? Worst dressed?
