Oscar ace at it again

JEFF Margolis, who won an Emmy last year for his direction of the Academy Awards presentations, will direct this year's Oscar bash on March 25. The 68th awards telecast will mark the eighth consecutive Oscar show directed by Margolis, who received Emmy nominations for his direction of the 63rd through 66th broadcasts.

Commonly considered the most difficult and most widely viewed entertainment television show, the Academy Awards will be produced this year by Quincy Jones, with Whoopi Goldberg as host.
