the oscars; only the important, ironic, and funny parts

7:41pm
so far hugh jackman is doing a great job...the opening act was hilarious, making 'his own' skit because the oscars didn't have enough money because of the recession to make an opening act just put a good vibe in the room, and helped the tension, just like in 2002 with september 11...nice work! and introducing all the top actors and actresses...now that is just 1st class.

and bringing in past clips of award winners, how awesome. the person who usually presents the award is the winner from the past year...not this year.

'it's not easy being a nun,'-whoopie goldburg introducing amy adams...that was funny.
best dress has to be...penelope cruz...exquisite
-she was nominated for vicki christina barcelona and won best supporting actress

7:53
tina fey and steve martin...so great doing a voice monolouge being typed out
'to write is to live forever'-t.f
'the person who wrote that is dead.'-s.m

the writers of the oscars have turned the show into a series of skits...brilliant.

7:58
for the two speechs by the winners so far...they will be hard to beat, these first two speeches weren't full of thankyous, but words of wisdom and heart, and what the love of film does for people all over the world
tally-vicki christina barcelona-1
milk-1-screenplay
slumdog millionaire-1-adaptation

8:03
'once a year i do a job for dreamworks, take all their money and take it to the oscars and bet it all on pixar'-jack black.

jennifer aniston....you get like a negative 2 on presenting wall-e with their oscar...that was bad.

8:10
the oscars are doing a great job of reliving the past in film, the show is very different this year...mainly to boost ratings, but they are doing it very well, i might not be a fan of all the nominations or lack there of, but the show as of right now is a perfect 10.

8:17
tally mark cont.
wall-e- 1-animated film
benjamin button-1-art direction
the duchess-1-costume design

mr.bond keeps messing up his lines...lame, if james bond can beat ass-kickings on a regualr basis an maybe even death he should be able to read from a teleprompter.

8:24
finally a double tally
benjamin button-2-makeup...lamest speech so far, he didn't seem happy whatsoever

'i had to become a vampire to find the right woman'-the one and only edward cullen talking abut love and introducing the video montage of love in 2008,-pause- oh my gosh, high school musical 3 made the montage...wow,-pause- twice,-pause- make that 3 times. i mean, i love me some zac efron, but you can't compare hsm to all the other incredible movies that actually had a chance for a nomination.

8:32
ben stiller is making fun of joaquin pheonix....hahahaha
'i heard slumdog millionaire was shot entirely on a cell phone'-ben stiller

8:35
another double tally
slumdog millionaire-2-cinimatography..the winner just called the oscar statue a 'thing', are you kidding it is not a 'thing' it is the oscar statue

8:39
jessica beil...gross, but informative.
she's all special because she hosted the award show that represesnts the best of the best of fillm technology...i don't know what it's called
-why i bring her up, her dress was sick and not flattering.

8:43
i love when the oscars make fun of themselves which is soppose to be funny, but they never nominate comedies...is that ironic?

8:56
that was so awesome, the two sets of love birds from mama mia and high school musical just made a cameo at the oscars. hugh jackman is right, the muscial is having a comeback, i was watching that little musical number not being impressed, but then zac showed up and all was right in the world.

9:02
i love when they bring history into the show, it just makes it all the better.
'that's enough from taking the parts from the black people man' cuba gooding jr. on robert downey jr. being a white american playing a white austraillian playing a black american...did you get that?

-why is phillip seymore hoffman wearing a hat? why, i don't understand...so silly and then christopher walken...what's with the hair?

9:08
tally update
heath ledgar- 1-dark knight for best supporting actor...so great, the oscars never do that, this is huge!


did anyone else see brad pitt get teary eyed?

9:14
hey, religulous guy, was that necissary...pretty sure that wasn't on the teleprompter...boohoo you didn't get nominated, don't say that on stage.

a guy just balanced the head of the statue on his chin...really?

9:23
is a car...fast-speed chase montage really necissary?, oh wait, it just turned into all the action of 2008...nevermind very necissary.

'take brad pitt and turn him into a garden gnome,'-will smith

9:27
tally update
a triple threat
benjamin button-3-special effects

another double
dark knight-2-sound effect

slumdog just got their third!
slumdog millionaire-3-sound mixing

-and they just got their forth for film editing!!!

clearly you can tell i am rooting for this movie

9:46
'i didn't know doing something kind for someone meant getting accomidations for that...until now," jerry lewis

9:54
that would be slumdogs 4th award...best score
and zac efron presented...a win-win

-i can say this about the oscars, this year they brought in more culture this year then they have ever from slumdog millionaire to milk.

10:00
and slumdog millionair just won their 5th oscar for best song...life is so good right now, plus zac efron oh man, i am all smiles!

tally
slumdog-5
benjamin button-3
dark knight-2
the dutchess-1
wall-e-2
milk-2
vicki christina barcelona-1

10:11
in memorium is my favorite part of the oscars!
i think because it is history passing before my eyes and these people made a difference because they will be remembered with what they left behind.


10:18
it only took them about three hours to bring up politics and the new administration

10:19
good for you reese witherspoon putting ben stiller in his place...go back to the 8:32mark.

count that number 6 for slumdog millionaire-best director!

10:25
the final run down
and the oscar goes to...

kate winslet....finally! for best actress
'dad wistle or something?'..that was precious.

sean penn...for best actor
'you commie, homo-loving suns of guns.'...said twice.
he is who i wanted to win!...woo hoo

which gives milk 2 wins

10:50
comparing the best picture noms with past winners...awesome, that was such a great montage, very clever


slumdog millionaire...best pitcure, which would make the most awards won this year with 7!!!
