Back in Time in the Land of Oz (OSCARS)
Oscars 2011
The clip above is something I saw when watching the Oscars... just before the kids started singing..
In the clip below you can see part of the kids performance (PS22 from Stanton Island NY) and please notice that they finish by moving into the shape of the letter "M" just before all the stars come out. This particular clip seems to focus on an un-identified person on stage.
This night - Ann Hathaway and James Franco were co-hosting and on stage with the kids from PS22. Later to find out that James Franco would be the actor to play the part of OZ whose real name is "OSCAR" in the movie "Oz the Great and Powerful"
February 14, 2013 (USA) Release date for Oz the Great and Powerful
Prince Jackson 1st time as an ET Correspondent Interviewed the Men on the Case of Oz the Great and Powerful - one of which was James Franco actor casted for Oz in the movie.
Oz the Great and Powerful had many things that made the hoax follower say HMM....
OSCARS 2013
During the Red Carpet Stars were asked as they arrived what they thought might be in the "mystery box" each time giving a different clue about the object in the box. Wouldn't you know it was the Ruby Slippers and it was Ann Hathaway that magically guessed what was in the box.
September 2013 on GMA - Lady Gaga performing her song "Applause" - definately a Wizard of Oz connection - but notice how the audience are wearing Poppies ..... those flowers that put you to sleep!
OSCARS 2014
"The Wizard of Oz" celebrates 75 years at the Oscars
"The Wizard of Oz" received a special tribute at the Oscars Sunday night to coincide with its 75th anniversary -- complete with footage from the film, a surprise performance by Pink -- and yes, ruby slippers, too.
Whoopi Goldberg -- donning ruby-colored shoes -- made a special onstage dedication to the 1939 classic movie before introducing the Judy Garland's children. Liza Minnelli, Joey Luft and Lorna Luft were all in the audience to honor their late mother and star of the film.
Pink, sporting a red sparkly dress, then launched into "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" while footage of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion played in the background.
To top it off, the night's host Ellen DeGeneres hit the stage in a pink dress reminiscent of Glinda the Good Witch.

Ellen Degeneres at the Oscars appears on stage in a Glenda the Good Witch Costume... appearing to be late for the act (this followed Pink's singing of Somewhere over the Rainbow) she waves her wands and starts to say You always had the power.... if you've seen the movie The Wizard of Oz you know that this line is said by Glenda near the END OF THE MOVIE to Dorothy wearing the Ruby Slippers ... all she had to do was click her heels three times and say there's no place like home!
So.... my conclusion from all these things..... we are just waiting for someone to click their heels three times to get back home!
Seems this may indicate the end of the show is near!
OSCARS: Liza Minnelli Salutes Mom Judy Garland on the Red Carpet (Video)
The actress, who will take part in a tribute to Garland and “The Wizard of Oz” during the show, also made a statement with a blue streak in her hair
Liza Minnelli and her siblings, Lorna Luft and Joseph Luft, are at the Oscars to pay tribute to the 75th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz,” but their time on the red carpet was all about saluting the film’s big star — and their mother — Judy Garland.“She was great, she loved her family, and her kids more than anything,” Minnelli told CNN during its red carpet coverage. “And she raised us with humor, and she raised us to understand that not everything was going to be great — but how to laugh through it.”

Minnelli, who won her own Oscar for her performance in “Cabaret,” also joked that she was feeling some butterflies while walking the red carpet.

“I’m just nervous,” Minnelli said. “I want to do everything right. This is for mama. And so I’m — I’m vaguely nervous.”
Her blue hair, of course, was cooler than anyone else’s on the carpet.
(Notice the color Liza is wearing is similar in color to what Katherine Jackson has worn many times)
Also, it states in the article that Liza mentioned having the feeling of some "butterflies" :) Butterfly on the cover of the Michael Album...

Murray glad to be home
Jackson’s doctor here for Carnival
By Anna Ramdass anna.ramdass@trinidadexpress.com
Caribbean-born Dr Conrad Murray, famously known as the doctor to late pop icon Michael Jackson, is in Trinidad for Carnival.
Murray, a cardiologist, and his family — son Che, daughter Chanel and fiancee Nicole — arrived at the Piarco International Airport on Saturday evening.
He and his family were welcomed by close friends Garreth and Karla Kalloo.
Murray, the Express was told, is a lover of Carnival and returns every year to Trinidad to celebrate although he lived abroad. This is his first return since he was incarcerated in relation to Jackson’s death.
“It’s always a pleasure to come home...I’m happy to be home,” Murray told the Express.
He said he will be playing mas in the band Bliss and will be in the country for two weeks.
“No comments beyond Carnival, we are here to have a good time,” said Murray when the Express was about to ask a question on his possible return to practise medicine.
Murray was hired by Jackson as his personal physician as he was preparing for his 2009 concert tour.
In June 2009, Jackson died of a prescription drug overdose where lethal levels of surgical anaesthetic propofol were found in his body.
On November 29, 2011, after a six-week trial, US Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor gave Murray the maximum four-year prison sentence, describing him as a “disgrace to the medical profession”.
Murray was released from prison last October.
Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan had told the Express that Murray can make a case legally to practise in this country as Section 40 of the Constitution guarantees citizens equal rights.
Garreth Kalloo, a former patient of Murray, said he hopes there is some way by which the doctor could be allowed to practise in this country.
Murray has taken legal action in the United States to have his medical licence reinstated.
“Dr Murray is a man who always help people; we need him here to help the sick and the poor,” said Kalloo.
“One of my workers died recently of a heart attack at the age of 42. Heart problems are plaguing the Caribbean and Dr Murray is a solution,” he added.
