Oprah Winfrey's interviews with some of Hollywood's biggest Academy Award winners and nominees will appear on 'The Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special.'
But the run of the mill interview op won't be in full play here. The media queen will also turn the tables and give the interview subjects a chance to talk with each other.
The special will feature Winfrey alongside previous Oscar winners like Halle Berry, who won in 2002 Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in 'Monster's Ball,' as well as 'Vicky Christina Barcelona' 2009 Best Supporting Actress winner Penélope Cruz, who is also nominated in the same category this year for her performance in the musical 'Nine.' Five-time Oscar nominated actress Glenn Close and multiple Oscar winner Michael Douglas, who starred in the 1987 Oscar nominated film 'Fatal Attraction' also reunite in the special.
'The Oprah Oscar Special' also finds some great sit downs between actors and directors, as well as actors and screenplay writers.
Academy Award-winning director James Cameron, who directed the most successful film in history, 'Avatar' and garnered nine Oscar nominations this year, including Best Picture joins the show. He will chat with three of the stars from the film, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and three-time Oscar-nominated Sigourney Weaver.
Also, Ben Affleck, who won an Oscar in 1998 for original screenplay, along with Matt Damon, for "Good Will Hunting," chats with 'Hurt Locker' star Jeremy Renner, who garnered a nomination for Actor in a Leading Role this year.
ABC hopes that the hour-long primetime special will entice viewers to get excited for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, which will air live on March 7 at 8 PM EST on ABC.
'The Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special' will air March 3 at 10 PM EST on ABC.

Oh my gosh, R! Are you serious? You are incredibly rude! How on earth can you say things like this about another human being? What state is your heart in? Have you not been taught any manners, my goodness! Do you not think of the impact your words may have on people, no matter who they may be? Your comment is so far out of line...so far and totally uncalled for! This is Black Voices, an adult community, not Crayola. This site, I believe, was created for mature people who can handle the content, not children!

Watching the Oscars is not what it use to be. However; Oprah was for a long time the greatest thing ever happen on television. And as a part of Black history; to hex with the Oscars; but Oprah is a major part of our black history; she has done TV, with class and style. She like our President since we are talking about black history briefly. Has bridged gaps and continue to do that; without waivering from there true self. So, people as we comment on our very own; just be mindful of how we talk about US in anykind of negative way. We are beautiful even if we have bags, bumps, lumps, hips, legs, lips, weave, hair, nails dark, light; whatever we are; so I would like us on this BLACK BLOG; to think; each statement we make; impact the lives of FUTURE GENERATIONS to come. OK. Love you all. Watch the oscars...
