My favorite memory of the Oscars last year was Karina Longworth’s Twitters hitting my iPhone every few minutes. The way she can describe Diablo Cody’s dress in one sentence had me turning to my wife saying, “You’ve got to hear this…” By the end of the night we had the iPhone sitting between us, propped on a pillow where we could both see each twitter as it popped up.
Sunday, February 22nd, Karina and a gaggle of other SpoutBlog writers will live-twitter the Oscars again. Check back here at 8:00 EST. If you won’t have a laptop with you to see all the action, you can at least follow Karina on Twitter.
Saturday, February 21st, Karina will also be at The Spirit Awards, twittering from the scene. IFC’s televised coverage begins at 5:00 EST, hosted by Steve Coogan.

LIVE BLOG FOLLOWS AFTER THE JUMP!
