Oscar StatuesI don't know about you, but I know what I'll be doing Sunday night at 8pm: watching the 78th annual Academy Awards! Of course I'm a little upset that I won't get to see what's happening on Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy this week, but seeing Johnny Depp and Christian Bale on my TV screen is way better.

And where would the swanky Awards Show be without tech swag? If only I could get my hands on the Oscar nominees' goodie bags! According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the goodie bags are estimated to be worth over $100,000, full of trips, massages, and tech galore. We won't know all of the products in the bags until the Show, but PCMag Reviews Editor Laarni Ragaza managed to get us a sneak peak.

PEBL Limited EditionOne of the most popular products talked about to be included in this year's gift basket is Motorola's PEBL cell phone in a limited-edition gunmetal gray. I can just hear Paris Hilton now, "That's hot!"

Then there's the Vonage VTech Broadband phone system, similar to the ip8100 VoIP model which I'm sure celebs will find enough time to use (yeah, sure).

A sweeter deal are the swag bags from Global Green USA given out to celebrities who arrive at the Oscars in low-emission vehicles. Among those items is a solar-powered charger. [I can just picture Tom Cruise pulling up in a Prius with Katie at his side.]

And Drive Sync will reportedly be giving away GPS/car monitoring devices to the Oscar losers. [Is Daniel Radcliffe even old enough to drive?]

My thoughts on who will win:

Best Picture...Brokeback Mountain

Best Director...George Clooney

Best Lead Actor...Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Best Lead Actress...Reese Witherspoon
