A peek at the Oscar ad buyers
ABC has released a partial list of advertisers for the Academy Awards broadcast.
The ad buyers include American Express, Ameriprise, Blue Diamond, Coke, Coldwell Banker, Fox (theatrical, presumably), Hyundai, JCPenney, McDonalds, Royal Carribbean, Samsung, Sprint, Stella (Anheuser-Busch) and the University of Phoenix.
The Oscar broadcast is completely sold out in terms of advertising, however, some buyers did not wish to disclose their names in advance.


A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
