TMZ Would Like to Spank the Academy ...

Spank The AcademyThis Oscar Sunday, don't keep your comments to yourself. From the second the stars show up, TMZ is going interactive.

If you see something on Oscar Sunday that's "TMZ Worthy," don't be stingy -- pass your ideas on what they wear, how they act and how stupid the reporters are -- and it could make the front page of TMZ.com.

At 5 PM ET we're going live with your comments. All you have to do is click on the box in the right rail that says "Spank the Academy." At 5P ET you'll see a form where you can comment away!

So congrats, you've all been deputized as TMZ reporters for the day. Don't screw it up.
