Can you think of a better date night? Not really, however, there may be one other interesting popular award we need to mention. I will further elaborate on this in a few minutes:

The Oscars have irrevocably arrived, following a whirlwind award season that has previously held, (please do not disregard keeping your eye on these monthly media awards) the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, WGA Awards, BAFTAs, Grammys. And the list goes on.

The other award I wish to mention is called The Monthly Creative Arts Awards via Social Media -- found exclusively at Twitter via @chrismentillo and @LiveKellyRyan (Live with Kelly Ripa & Ryan Seacrest Show). This monthly award is one of a kind, and it is extremely hard to receive a nomination for, nevermind trying to win the 'overall' monthly creative arts award in its entirety.

We have had many amazing celebrities win this particular monthly media award, and not by chance. Due to its rising popularity (partially because of me, and perhaps many other creative arts advocates on social media) the award later became a sponsorship component of The Emmy Awards, and initially went viral on the Live With Kelly Ripa & Michael Strahan Show via social media. It peaked during these shows and then slowed down some after Michael Strahan left the show.

Needless to say, the awards are now back with a vengeance. We hope you send in your votes every month to @chrismentillo Find out and go here @

Look For This Monthly Creative Arts Awards Emblem below to see our nominees and overall winners. 

We will also be receiving votes all over the country, and from many universities and schools everywhere. So please help out by voting, and remember if we do not have at least 50,000 votes for the month -- nobody can win but nominees themselves. Still not a bad deal. 

Because I am the initial founder of this monthly award, I (Chris Mentillo) can not be a winner. Poop. Like anyone would ever vote for me in the first place.

Anyway, I hope to see you on the red carpet someday. 

Getting Back to our featured article. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.  

Tonights Academy Awards are the biggest in Hollywood, and we are expecting to see hundreds of A-list actors, writers, directors and more descend onto the Dolby Theater to scoop up the hardware.

However, in the meantime, it is clear that many of tonight's celebs are already winners, as they smile alongside their loves on the red carpet before heading into the show.

We were thrilled to see America Ferrera and her husband Ryan Piers Williams posing on the step-and-repeat together, with the How to Train Your Dragon star, showing off her baby bump.

Elsewhere on the carpet, our hearts soared when we spotted Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos stop to take pictures for the paparazzi in style.

Take a look at all the couples, and keep checking back throughout the night as inevitably more and more celebs swing through the red carpet.
