Live Blogging the 83rd Annual Academy Awards
Looks like I called 17 out of 24 categories correctly. Not too bad. Better than last year. Oh well, till next year.
8:42- James Franco did better work on his Twitter feed tonight.
8:39 – You would think that these damn kids would have dressed up a bit. It’s the Oscars for Christ’s sake.
8:36 – How could the film had not have won Best Picture? For God’s sake,they used the speech in the film to cut the best picture montage together.
8:34 – This montage cut to The King’s Speech is actually pretty good.
8:32 – Nice consolation prize to The Social Network for mentioning the film’s that didn’t win Best Picture. I like how the crowd clapped loudly when Speilberg mentions the films that lost Best Picture.
8:21 – I bet Sandra Bullock hasn’t watched last year’s telecast when she won the award. Who would have thought that her tattoo crazed, Nazi loving husband, who was once married to a porno stat, would have cheated on her?
8:19 – Let’s applaud Sandra Bullock cause her crazy tattoo husband was fucking behind her back.
8:14 – Hey, just noticed that Aronofsky isn’t wearing that damn scarf around his neck. Guess he didn’t have a horrible neck surgery after all.
8:07 – So glad the honorary Oscar winners are finally shown some proper respect, unlike last year.
8:03 – Tom Hopper! Damn! You can tell he really wanted it. The film was good, but Fincher directed the hell out of The Social Network.
7:53 – No clapping at the In Memoriam segment. How will we know who to care about?
7:46 – Jennifer Hudson looks hot after losing all that weight. That is all I can muster up to type.
7:45 – The montage of dead people and the Lena Horn tribute hasn’t been shown yet. This is going to go another hour.
7:35 – The visual effect guys forgot to thank Nolan. Thats a rule.
7:30 – The Ghost of Bob Hope!
7:27 – Here is the best Oscar host. He looks a hell of a lot better following these two.
7:21 – Okay, no Banksy. Inside Job was pretty good as well. Yea! Throw those fucking financial executives in jail!!
7:21 – Joel Coen was just caught on camera looking for his cell phone.
7:16 – This Best Live Action short guy probably gave one of the more entertaining speeches of the night.
7:15 – Wow. Got both the short documentary and short live action categories correct.
7:13 – Not a sweep for The King’s Speech. The most I can see them winning is a total for 4.
7:06 – Best Song Nominees being performed, time to do something the fuck else.
6:59 – Collen Atwood wants to thank who ever the fuck put her all the way in the back.
6:58 – Academy Award winning The Wolfman. That phrase reeks of classiness.
6:53 – Franco has a strange smirk on his face. When he said he didn’t care if he hosted the worst Oscar ever, he wasn’t kidding.
6:51 – Inception wins the well deserved Sound awards. Leading the night with 3 awards.
6:43 – YES! The Social Network for score! A good warning sign for a Best Picture win? One could hope.
6:41 – Let’s hear John Williams’s music for the rest of the show.
6:32 – Batman! Best Supporting Beard.
6:25 – There’s the Charlie Sheen joke
6:19 – The mic’s right there in front of you.
6:16 – Classy speech by Aaron Sorkin.
6:13 – They cut away when Brolin and Bardem were dancing. Too gay for the Oscars?
6:06 – Justin Timberlake shouldn’t be allowed to speak unless Aaron Sorkin is writing his dialogue.
6:04 – It appears that there was no rehearsal before the show.
6:02 – Bill Maher – “Kirk Douglas died during that acceptance speech.”
5:59 – Yeah, let’s drop the F bomb, Melissa Leo.
5:57 – This will be the longest Oscars ever if Kirk Douglas keeps presenting all the awards. I’m all for it.
5:51- Great Kirk Douglas, now no one will know who won best supporting actress.
5:49 – Great start, I’m 0-2 in predictions before the first fucking commercial.
5:47 – Inception! Deakins loses again, I knew it would happen.
5:44 – First miss of the night, fucking Alice in Wonderland. Maybe King’s Speech won’t be a sweep after all.
5:43 – There is something to be said for hiring comics to host the Oscars.
5:42 – James Franco looks out of it. He clearly doesn’t give a shit.
5:41 – Let’s begin, please.
5:35 – This was funny when Billy Crystal did it in 1997.
5:31 – I really hope The Social Network ins for score. It’s really fucking amazing.
