Oscar Night!

Because I'm a total nerd and because I'm to hungover to leave the house and watch the oscars at my friend's house I decided I'm going to blogcast the oscars. I'm sure you guys are thrilled.

So far the red carpet stuff is pretty boring. Eddie Murphy keeps bringing up Pluto Nash. Apparently bffs Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts have a lot of fun going to BBQs together. I bet Nicole hogs the ribs. Leo's still crazy for Scorsese, so is Mark Walhberg. Everythings pretty dull so far, but the ceromony is about to start.

7:30 PM

Alright I have a question, who the hell sits in the second balcony? Is that were everyone who won one of those oscars they give away before the actual award show sit?

7:41 First joke about Peter O'Toole's age.

Ok, that Gospel Choir was just riduclous

So far Ellen's funny but not that funny.

Pan's Labryth wins best art direction, I think that movies still in town. I really want to see it.

I missed that last ten minutes, I've got it tivoing, I'll check it out later.

The bit with the girl from Little Miss Sunshire and Will Smith son was a nice touch. I don't know about the whole presenting the "short" awards gimmick. If that's the joke don't you think midget would be funnier?

Steve Carell and Greg Kinear deliver that best joke of the evening so far, and about sound editing of all things.

Judging from the look on Eddie Murphy's face, he's about as excited about the award for Sound Mixing as you are.

Ah...best supporting actor. I'm cheering for Eddie Murphy, even though I have yet to see Dreamgirls. And it goes to...Alan Arkin. The Academy decides to continue their practice of snubbing comedians. Welcome to Bill Murray's world Eddie. Oh well, Arkin was great in Little Miss Sunshine. "Again with the fucking chicken?!"

8:27

Looks like they've decided to get all the nominated songs over with in one fell swoop. Probably a good time for a smoke break.

The AL Gore gag was funny but kinda depressing... in a perfect world people who win Presidential elections would go on to be President, not making jokes with Leo at the Oscars

Hom many pills did that guy who won for best adapted sceenplay actually pop before his exceptance speech?

8:58

.................................................................................................................................................................................................



Ah...what would costuming be without the live tabteau to show it off, this is almost as ridiculous as the interpretive dance last year for all the best song nominees.

Okay... I'm starting to like Ellen as the host. The Clint Eastwood picture bit just won me over.

Pan's Labyrinth wins another one....I've really got to see this movie.

Robert Downey Jr. makes a joke about his drug history. Well... its not like that isn't the first thing that pop into your mind whenever you see him.

They're really not letting anyone finish their exceptance speeches this go around. Makes me hope Peter O'Toole doesn't win just so I don't have to see him get cut off in mind sentence.

9:26

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Hey! The guy excepting the award for best foreign language film isn't even German!

And why is the music they're using to cut people's speeches off so sad? It sounds like the song for the Increduble Hulk TV show whenever you see Bruce Banner hitchhiking.

Eva Green looks like somekind of vampire bride.

Best Documentary...Lets hope Al Gore wins...and actually does announce his candidacy for President. Hey, a boy can dream right. Yep, he's a winner, even if he isn't a President.

Hey, Clint Eastwood sounds like me when I try and read aloud.

9:54

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

I wish they would give me more of a heads up before they bring out Celine Dion. If I had if been prepared I would have had enough time for a proper smoke break.

10:05

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

If they are going to do the fast talking gag, can't they get the micromachines guy?

Alright Litle Miss Sunshine wins for best Sceenplay. I really think that it was the best movie I've seen in several years.

That guy that used to be a VJ on MTV just reminded me that I forgot to do an Oscar ballot this year. Oh well.

Did I hear that right? Did they just say that Jennifer Lopez was an excellent reason for high defintion television? Even Jay Leno is classier when he's introducing people than that.

I wish Eddie Murphy would sing during the Dreamgirls song. Apparently he refused. But overall this is much better than what the song porition of the award show is usually like.

10:30

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

The Academy says... America is just one big movie montage

I wonder if Scorsese is getting nervous yet?

Shouldn't they have given out the film editing award, like, and hour ago. Maybe they'd save more time is they cut a montage instead of cutting off all the speechs.

10:56

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ok, I've laid off the dancers that make themselves into shapes because I think they came to Hendrix once. But that gun they made just looked silly

Is it just me or does Reese Witherspoon's chin look a little weird

Forrest Whittaker just gave an excellent acceptance speech.

I swear right after they announced Martin Scorsese name he threw up his hands as if to say, "Well, it's about time!"

11:11

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

Departed gets best picture. Thats a bit suprising. It was a great movie and I loved it, but it didn't scream best picture to me. Oh well, what do I know, I'm the one that thinks that Crash sucked.

Overall Impression: Good, but a little bit underwhelming. Last years Oscars were better. Except for the part were Crash won best picture. Sorry, I just really didn't like that movie. Well doing this blogcast was fun. My ass hurts from sitting for so long. I'm going to bed. Night Night.
