Gearing up for Sunday's Oscar's telecast, Nikki Finke – the LA Weekly columnist who's been trading barbs with Los Angeles magazine – lives up to her reputation we've given her around Jossip World Headquarters: the only person writing anything interesting about the Academy Awards.

Today she's debuted "My 7 Spoilers For Sunday Oscar Telecast: Don't Read If You Want To Stay Surprised," a list of Oscar night insider info that likely both fell into her lap and required her to do some digging. You know, the type of digging the LAT might try.

First, there's the part where Tom Cruise presents the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Sherry Lansing, who got the boot from Paramount when he did, giving agents and their assistants a few seconds to chuckle.

Then there's the show's producer, Laura Ziskin, having Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, and Anika Noni Rose perform each other's songs from Dreamgirls.

And, then there's the part where the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Awards – always handed out in the beginning of the show – will be handed out in the third hour, upsetting Academy types obsessed with tradition, in an effort to hold viewers through the entire broadcast.

Which might have just worked — if viewers were given an actual incentive to tune in at the beginning of the show. Ellen DeGeneres CGI dancing with penguins while keeping her self-written opening monologue clean? Yeah, not gonna cut it.
