Because of the ongoing war in Iraq, ABC decided to cut back on the glitz for last weekend's Oscars. This included, among other things, an abbreviated red carpet entrance and the axing the annual 'big name' Barbara Walters Interview special.

The special, which features an exclusive interview with twice nominated and twice scorned actress Julianne Moore, is set to air in the United States on Tuesday, April 1st. And this isn't any April's Fools joke, allegedly the actress and the interviewer share a brief kiss.

Now, how's that for a ratings boost?
