Looming awards-show responsibilities be damned, Oscar producer Gil Cates keeps churning out blog posts. Our favorite part is always the little picture of Cates prominently featuring a laptop (today, Cates types!) that may or may not be gutted like an Ikea desktop prop, making the connection between "computers" and "blogging" for his less tech-savvy readers. This time, Cates reaches out to those who somehow might have missed the barrage of media coverage for the Oscars, i.e., coma patients, babies born without any senses, and people on the dark side of the moon with shitty satellite reception:

I spend a portion of every day talking to the media about why everyone should tune in Sunday night. Yesterday morning began with satellite television interviews in 30 cities with one of this year's Oscar presenters, the very beautiful past-Oscar nominee Salma Hayek. I hope you have seen some of the press about this year's Academy Awards telecast and will remind all of your friends and family to watch.

We were going to spend the entire night flipping through the other networks' futile counterprogramming, but now that Cates has practically promised that Jamie Foxx and Salma Hayek will engage in sexual congress on stage, we're definitely tuning in.
