Although it’s hardly as dramatic as Peter Parker peeling off his Spider-Man mask for Mary Jane, I will indeed be unmasked today for the loyal reader (and, who knows, on a good day possibly even readers) of that site.

I don’t particularly enjoy appearing on camera, be it film or photograph, but it’s in honor of the Oscars, so why not?

Below, you’ll find about eight minutes or so of myself and Phil Ramati, a k a The TV Guy, bickering genteelly about the upcoming Oscars, which are definitely now back in a big way coming Feb. 24, with Jon Stewart as the host. Presenters will include: Alan Arkin, Jennifer Hudson, Helen Mirren, Forest Whitaker, Amy Adams, Jessica Alba, Cate Blanchett, Josh Brolin, Steve Carell, George Clooney, Penelope Cruz, Miley Cyrus, Patrick Dempsey, Cameron Diaz, Colin Farrell, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Garner, Tom Hanks, Anne Hathaway, Katherine Heigl, Jonah Hill,

Dwayne Johnson, Nicole Kidman, James McAvoy, Queen Latifah, Seth Rogen, Martin Scorsese, Hilary Swank, John Travolta, Denzel Washington and Renee Zellweger.

I don’t know how in the world Jonah Hill got to join that club, but I’ll take it. As for the clip, it’s of myself and Mr. Ramati, who writes diligently about all things TV here. One more plug before we get started: Our cameraman/producer is Ryan Gilchrest, who blogs about happenings in the great Peach State here. And, one final note, whether you don’t have the moment (or desire) to watch the whole thing, Mr. Gilchrest, who is much more technically inclined than me, was kind abundant to embed a permalink on the sideboard that has urls that break it down by category. Enjoy, and have a perfectly pleasant weekend. Peace out.
