The 2012 Academy Awards will be presented from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles today, Sunday Feb. 26, 2012. Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences selects the top films, actors, actresses and technical achievements. Recent winners include George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie. This year, the Oscars ceremony will once again be hosted by Billy Crystal.

The show itself isn't streaming live on any internet feeds, but there may be red carpet streams available. One such video feed will be offered by E! Online in addition to their TV coverage of the pre-Oscars red carpet. That's when all of the big stars arrive for the show looking their best and trying to make fashion statements. Who will be this year's fashion hits and misses?

For many, the Red Carpet isn't such a big deal though. For the Oscars 2012 start time, the big show starts at 1pm Central African Time (C.A.T).
