The Winter Olympics are almost over, which means we say good-bye to huge spectacles of fireworks, armies of dancers, and stadium-filling vocal displays--at least until the next time Celine Dion decides to tour.
The 2010 winter games in Vancouver are wrapping up with a closing ceremony tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC, which local reports say will be stocked with Canadian celebrities. The choreographer for the finale is Jean Grand-Maitre, artistic director of the Alberta Ballet. NBC spent some $820 million on these games and stands to lose millions more. No pressure, Grand-Maitre, but these closing ceremonies might have to out-Avatar "Avatar" to make it all worth it.
