It was the Friday before the Oscars and AC & Kelly did a backstage chat about the upcoming Acamedy Awards. In case you didn't realize it the 2012 Oscars are tonight on ABC.
Oscar Chat:
Host chat topics touched on Haiti, Danny Devito (another coincidence since he's a guest on 'Anderson' this week), kids and germs, AC's cleanliness obsession as a child, Kelly's lunch with Gloria Vanderbilt and their friendship, astrology and Walter Mercado, Starbucks, Nancy Reagan, crack pie and compost cookies.

COOPER:Well, more than 100 people were killed today in Syria. More than 100 people, according to the opposition. Dozens more died yesterday. Dozens more will likely die tomorrow. The wounded will not get treatment. The children will die. And tonight, Marie Colvin's mother waits, perhaps in vain, for her daughter to finally, finally come home.
Earlier tonight I spoke with Hoover Institution senior fellow, Fouad Ajami, and Christiane Amanpour, our chief international correspondent as well as "Global Affairs" anchor at ABC News.
COOPER:I saw Marie Colvin's mother. You know this poor woman. Who -- you know, I was thinking about her, how many countless hours and weeks of her life has she spent waiting for her daughter to come home from one dangerous war zone to another and now she's just waiting, hoping her daughter's body will be brought home and even that seems to be --
AMANPOUR: I know, it's a terrible tragedy for all of our parents and families who watch us, go to these zones, we put them through terrible hell. And usually, they let us do what we have to do because it's really important. And Marie made that very, very clear. But can you imagine what she must be going through right now and her brother and her sister and the family just wanting to get the body out and the injured colleagues in there. And across the whole population of Homs and the cities.
COOPER: Yes. Who -- who have nowhere else to go. And they can't get out at this point. Christiane Amanpour, it's great to have you on the air. Nice to have you back.

Anderson spoke about doing the show for the "Backstage Cam." This was played at the end of today's show~
At the opening of today's show Anderson spoke of being propositioned as a child. Long time fans, may remember that he wrote about the experience in an article for Details. Below is an excerpt from the article. Please click on the link for the full article ~
....I was 10 when my dad died, and about a year later I decided it was time to take control. I wanted to be independent, and I needed money of my own for that. I decided to get a job. Kind of odd for a child, I know, but I was nothing if not odd. Child-labor laws posed a problem, of course, but then I found the one industry where youth is an asset. I became a model. I know it's cheesy, embarrassing, pathetic, but look, I wanted to earn money, and $75 an hour was nothing to sneeze at. I signed up with the Ford Modeling Agency. For a couple of years, every day after school, I'd call Ford's children's division and talk to the booker, asking her what "go-sees," or auditions, I had that afternoon. By the time I was 12, I was regularly working for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Macy's. All right, so maybe working is a bit of an exaggeration. I was paid to put on clothes and get my photo taken. Not exactly brain surgery.
On jobs, most of the other kids were accompanied by their mothers, pushy women who sat on their children like hens. Me, I went alone. My mom worked, and the idea of asking her to accompany me seemed to defeat the whole purpose of having my own job. I worked until I was about 13. That's when a photographer made me a proposition. Well, actually, I guess propositioned me is the more accurate term. He called me up one night after a photo shoot and asked me if I wanted to make $2,500. I was a little confused, since photographers usually have to make deals through the modeling agency. I wasn't even sure how he got my home phone number. He said he worked for some people, and when they came into town he arranged "meetings" for them. I still wasn't picking up on what he meant. "All you have to do," he finally said, "is go to this guy's hotel room. Open a bottle of wine, have some cheese . . ." Suddenly I got it. I hung up the phone and never told anyone about it. Not my mom, not the modeling agency, no one.
