Does anyone know if there is going to be coverage of the Oscar Awards in Korea this year? I love watching them, and this year's nominations are actually exciting for once, so I would hate to miss them this year.
Any help would be appreciated!

I don't expect any of the movies to make it to the theatre in my town, nor will the DVDs be available at the videos stores, so it's hard for me to get into it.

OCN will be showing them. Sometime in February at 8:00am, so I imagine it must be live.

Because a Korean station is carrying them, AFN Korea is barred (by agreement...) from carrying them. And, because the American broadcast is on ABC, those with broadband connections can't watch the Academy Awards on TVU either...

Then again, AFN did show the Grammy Award show. Didn't any Korean station broadcast them?...

OCN over lays this running Korean commentary. Makes it a bit hard to watch. But oh well. Thing I loved about living in Seattle, pacific time zone, the Oscars finished at a decent time... like 9 pm. No staying up to 12:45 am to see best picture and then dragging your ass into work the next day.
