The stars will be out in Hollywood Sunday for the highlight of the year in the movie industry, presentation of the Academy Awards, known as Oscars.   Mike O'Sullivan looks ahead to the celebration.

"It is a tremendous thrill, it is a great thrill, especially at this age of your life, you know," he said.  "It is something you maybe dream about a few times when you are an actor going on through year after year of a career, but you do not really expect it to happen to you.  And it is just a lucky break that Sean Penn put me in this role."

When striking writers announced an end to a three-month work stoppage this month, Hollywood breathed a sigh of relief and Oscar writers began to work double-time.  Hollywood production is being ramped up, and the show will go on at the Oscars.
