I love that Billy Crystal is hosting. I like when he hosts. But i expect to be somewhat bored because i think The Artist is going to take all of the Oscars and i didn't see it and i don't get why a silent movie could be so hot. And seriously did i read that correctly? It's nominated for screenplay?
I loved all the red carpet dresses. Nearly all of them. Maybe not Emma Stone's big red bow so much, but most all of them. Especially George Clooney's girlfriend. I loved Gwenneth Paltrow too.
and speaking of George. I know it won't happen, but i am really pulling for Brad Pitt to win Best Actor.
Anyone watching..?.i hope you drop in.

I just poured a Murphy Goode chardonnay.
OOh, i also love Viola Davis in that cool green dress and love her real short hair. I also love Michelle William's pixie little haircut. You have to have a perfect bone structure and skin to pull that off.
Tom Hanks looks like he's lost some weight. Maybe he's doing Alec Baldwin's yoga workout.
Cinematography. I bet it will be The Artist. and i love how Tom didn't waste any time announcing it was Hugo, before i could even post. Good, maybe The Artist won't sweep everything.
I have probably mentioned this on my blog before but if i did not tweeze my eyebrows they would like exactly like Martin Scorcese's. Two Oscars for his film Hugo already. Take that, ARTIST!
Best actess? I wish i had seen more movies so i could make an informed decision, so let me just vote like most Americans vote for President. I will say my pick is Viola Davis. She is the Best Actress line up right? It just occurred to me she might be Supporting, which wouldn't be right. Anyway, i like Meryl Streep. But she's starting to be like that nerdy but attractive girl in high school who always raised her hand in history class because she always had the right answer. You just want her to stop sometimes and give someone else a chance. And yes, she has been passed over alot, considering how many times she has been nominated. But if you did your best work and Meryl was in a move that year, you are pissed.
I love Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz's dress. They must have gotten together to coordinate. It's not an easy color to wear either. Costume Design is what they are presenting. I never care about these early awards. does anyone?
the Oscar goes to The Artist. So they got their first one.
What i usually don't like about these is that these obscure Oscar speeches are usually the longest ones.... let's see if it is....
Nope. good!
I am liking Cameron's hair too.
i do not like Sandra Bullock's dress on top. It's so baggy. She seems uptight. I think that Jesse James divorce messed that poor girl up. and isn't that too bad that a low rent guy like that could mess up a cool chick like Sandra?
Christian Bale is hot. I never knew he was British????
Best supporting actress. I want The Help gal. Octavia... and she wins! that's cool. Let's check out her speech. Funny how they have to qualify that this is her first Academy Award. As if many African American women have won. I love that she loves winning.
I am really happy for her.
"Thank you World"... love her! I think the only movies i have seen that are nominated are The Descendants, Moneyball, The Help, and Tree of Life (which should in no way be anywhere nominated for an Oscar at all, even as it starred Brad Pitt.)
Love those guys who won Tina Fey's presented award (forget what it is)...they struggled with their speech and then said... "let's get out of here!".... so cute.
The cirque du soleil (sp?) was cool. I like the cuts to George Clooney and Brad Pitt and Co. during the show and how much they looked like they enjoyed it too.
I do think Christopher Plummer will win. because they tell us he will. I want the Moneyball kid to win. I forget his name. But it won't happen. Just like Brad Pitt won't win either. Brad Pitt was on Jon Stewart the other day. If you didn't see it, it was a great interview. Brad Pitt says he is like the Ron Paul of the Oscars.
Robert Downey Jr. LOVE HIM.... Gwenneth looks great too. He's wearing a bow tie! how funny!
I vote Robert Downey Jr. to host the next Oscars!
louie, where you be?
amulbunny?
I just checked last year during the commercial cuase i live blogged last year too when James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosted...actually some of the worst hosting i think ever.... It was mostly louie and me blogging. and equeyaya weighed in later. It had 81 posts because louielouie and i have lots of opinions about celebrities.
sorry to be so late
was working on two school board presentations for March.
Knocked their socks of in February
catching up
liked the Billy Crystal opening
did not like J-Lo's dress. Too trashing to be quoting Edith Head
kind of did like the gal with Ben Stiller, don't know who she was
THERE you are!
I love Emma Stone's presentation. She's very funny with her "My first time presenting an Oscar" schtick.
Is it my imagination or are all the women taller than the men? Even George's girlfriend.
course her dress was trashy not trashing,
no spell check/editing here.
don't care about Hugo
louie, Emma Stone is the white chick in The Help. I love her voice!
wearing:
my Toms
a WSU t-shirt and old baggy sweater, no bra
no jewels, my classic beauty needs no ornamentation.
drinking,
Bushmills of course
i think the actors have been sucking up to Martin Scorcese for the past few years because he might be connected for real to The Mafia. I don't like his movies all that much.
I totally want Jonah Hill to win this one!
I forgot i saw The Warrior too with Nick Nolte. he was good in that too. I imagine i would like Plummer's role in his movie if i had seen it. Still like Jonah. I love an upset!
No surprise. Christopher Plummer. Here's the thing for me. just cause they're old doesn't mean they are due. As a union person, i am not a big fan of seniority as a given. But then again, i haven't seen the movie, so i can't totally go against this award.
LUV Jonah Hill
LUVed Money Ball
Didn't see the Christopher Plummer movie - want too
want to see a couple of those animation ones too
No ormamentation.... hahahah.... It would be kind of funny to wear our pearls during these things. When else do we get to wear them?
I'm not an animation kind of movie watcher. but i think i would really like the Plummer movie. I saw both Moneyball and The Descendants. And i liked them both alot. But i want Moneyball to win over The Descendants. I just don't think it will.
I remember when John Travolta was up for Best Actor in Pulp Fiction and how much i wanted him to win that Oscar. That's how i feel about Brad Pitt winning right now. I will be so so happy if he won, as if he were my own brother. I like George too. I just like Brad better.
louie, you're drinking Bushmills ON A SCHOOL NIGHT? You never do that!
My escort this evening is wearing sweats and drinking Cranberry Mike's Hard
I do like Billy C and the crowd shots
Angelina Joulie looked way too skinny on the red carpet
Billy Crystal is cute. I love his 'what they are saying" by the shots of Brad Pitt, Nick Nolte, Viola Davis, etc. Funny stuff.
And we interrupt this blog for the President of the Academy's BORING speech. I'm going to pee.
who cares about the Academy's mission
louie, WHO made Ron's sweats? Addidas? Carthhart? Nikes? You can't be so vague about the attire during the Oscars.
Angelina ALWAYS looks too skinny to me. I love that cause i really think for all her toughness when it gets right down to it, i can beat her in arm wrestling. I do those 8 lb free weights in my bathroom 4 times a night at least.
penelope cruz is georgous
love songs, but can't care about the scores.
They have a mission? Their mission should be to lobby and advocate for paying their fair share of taxes. I saw a crawl on the pre function shows that reported Jennifer Aniston bought a 24.2 million house. When i hear that kind of stuff i want to puke. Why do we love these guys so much?
She is. I just don't like her. I like Zack. But i really don't like Will Ferrell movies. THEY mentioned It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp....my favorite song that won an Oscar ever!
OOOH, i love that guy from Flight of the Conchords! louie, do you know those guys? Good for him!
it's Hard out here for a Pimp!!
really that's the best they could do for songs?
But LUV Flight of the Concordes
look at her knees
I love Angelina. But i wouldn't want her as a friend. She's rather intimdidating.
I love how she works that slit in her dress.
ron, who's wearing columbia sweats, says she looks Cachetic, which is worse than Anorexic
what's wrong with her knees? I missed it.
Seriously, though...my arms at my age are way more buff than hers. She is way too skinny.
liked the Descendants but liked Money Ball and the Ides of March better
did like the dude showing off his knee though
i have never heard the term cachetic. How could there be something WORSE than anorexic?
Her face is too shiny.
Screenplay... Woody Allen. I like that. He's never there though.
Whose knees are we talking about?
When i look at how Warren Beatty has aged i feel bad for myself getting older. I do not want to get older. And now i get a peek at just how bad that is going to be for me when i see someone like Warren.
cachetic. How could there be something WORSE than anorexic?
i think it's one step closer to death
do like Brad though
Also like the Ellen JCPenneys ads
i must have been peeing because i missed the Penney's ads...but...Take THAT Million MOms... you bitches. Good for Penneys not caving to that conservative bunch of wacks.
Love The Bridesmaids movie. Never expected to. But i was funny.
It can be short and still make your toes curl! ....
lololol....
the brides maids are great
sort of want to see that short irish film too
The big Bridesmaid actor is with a gorgeous woman i don't think was introduced???? I love her hair! with the bangs and blunt cut. They are presenting an award i don't care about.
I think it would be fun to have a movie night where you presented ALL of the nominated films for short films. Otherwise how do we ever get to see them? I think i would like them, but how would i ever know?
am making a netflix list
figure they might have them maybe as a collection?
I like that Michael Douglas is looking better than the last time i saw a photo of him. He is presenting Directing....
I bet it will be The Artist.
We should have a party for the Short Films.
I have no desire for any director to win. don't care about this one. I just don't want Tree of Life dude to win.
love James Earl Jones
Oprah, not so much
am hot for Alex Baldwin
Meryl looks great. . . ! She and Helen Mirren are so amazing.
just because someone died this year doesn't make then great
don't even want to hear about Whitney
Crack is Whack
Alec.... not Alex! i LOVE Alec Baldwin, even when he called his daughter a pig. Probably means i would be a bad parent myself. As i always suspected. (Which is why i don't have kids.
I agree about Oprah. And James E. Jones. If i were a man i would want to talk like James Earl Jones.
i can't stand the Whitney stuff cause i hated her music and her movies. OMG The Bodyguard sucked soooo much. But i do love hearing about dead actors. i have to admit.
Why Steve Jobs?
sorry, Alec
am now bored on the dead people
and the song
agree abougt the song. But LOVE the afro.
not ron,
by the way, he's wearing Tommy Bahama, forgot about the shirt
Ohhhhh, Tommy Bahama... he IS dressing up. My escort is wearing a Pierce College t-shirt. He just got home from band practice.
cool dress Natalie
that first trailer made me tear up
It is going to be George.
I don't want the Artist guy to win.
fuck.
I wanted Brad Pitt. He is overdue.
I LOVE words and talking and conversation. I can't imagine i would ever love a movie without words and dialogue.
i have NO interest in that movie or Hugo
It pisses me off that The Academy often chooses movies like this...the snobby artsy filsm: Chariots of Fire, The English Patient.... Shakespear in Love. Someday i would love to see a movie like The Bridesmaids win Best Picture. It is more like what we Americans are. Forget trying to do the foreign shit awards.
I do hope Viola wins for Best Actress. I think she will.
i wouldn't mind Michelle Williams winning.
oh meryl
kind of tired of her but she is talented
damn. Meryl Streep. Teacher's Pet. I hate the teacher's pets.
tom cruise
got to say, he may be crazy, but he is easy on the eyes
It will be the Artist . I wouldn't mind Descendants at all because i liked that movie. I liked the Help too.
but i really want Moneyball.
OMG
now for sure will not see that movie
duh....The Artist. damn...would the French choose American films for THEIR equivalent of the Oscars. i think not. I have no desire to see this movie. I don't care what people say.
wanted Moneyball too
lololol... love that we feel the same way, louie!
can't believe it's only 8:30
I would have time for another drink!
i'm glad it's over early. Now i'm out of Murphy Goode since Brian got home. I'm drinking Fresca and cranberry now.
We broke last year's live blogging comments post. Last year was 81 i think and now we're at about 91.
Next year i think we should live blog to the Golden Globes instead of the Oscars. People behave too much during the Oscars. Where is Jack Nicholson when you need him?
Boycotted the show this year. Saw the fashions though on line and I loved the color and the cut of Michelle Williams dress. The jewels that were out there were great. I haven't seen the horrible dresses yet, will check on the site I go to.
The Golden Globes are more fun, there's booze on the tables!
yeah, amylbunny, next year i'm gonna live blog to the Golden Globes. The Oscars are too hoity toity!
