When the 84th annual Academy Awards are given out Sunday night, the winners could receive Oscars for speaking in American or French or British accents, or for not speaking at all.
It’s an all-over-the-map year as the Oscars recognize movies set in places like wartime Europe, 1960s Mississippi and modern-day Hawaii. Performances are all over the map too, from the broad comedy of Melissa McCarthy’s brash turn as sister of the groom in "Bridesmaids” to the quiet heartbreak of Glenn Close’s role as a woman with a secret in "Albert Nobbs.
”With nine films nominated for Best Picture, big stars on the red carpet and venerable comic Billy Crystal returning as host, it’s bound to be a long night filled with oohs and oh-nos. But whether or not you’ve seen the big contenders, you will want to be prepared before you watch the show.
