Oscar night

Sorry I'm a little late.

At least they knocked out all the actors standing up there early, last year they had them up there for what seemed like forever.

I did like how the best pairings video ended with Tom Hanks in Turner and Hootch.

You know if they wanted to have Neil Patrick Harris as the opener why didn't they just have him host. He has obviously proven himself before. Neil has some great jokes in there but he is not getting any positive reaction from the crowd. I like the performance, always so good.


Steve is presenting his jokes a little better, he does have more experience. These jokes just don't seem to have any pop, except the first one. I do like the one for Waltz and the one about the agencies.

The jokes are decent but I can't help but think NPH or just Steve Martin could have done better solo.

Is there a bigger lock than Christolph Waltz...no

John Hughes deserves his own segment. Classic 80s movies. So good

Tina Fey and Robert Downey Jr. have better chemistry than Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin

Why does everything seem a little blurry. HELP.

Tough one Quentin.

Now we get to some of the more boring roles.
Who is talking for best feature short? Who is this woman?

Love Ben Stiller. Better than his costume last year. "I'll stand far away as not to demean their moment." Great

I do like this showing of the best 10 features they seem to be rolling along and are nice little breaks.

A little bit of an upset with the adapted screenplay. I thought Up in the Air would have it. Not to say Precious didn't deserve it but the writing for Up in the Air seemed stronger. A beautiful speech though and then Steve Martin goes and jokes about it. I love it and him

Robin Williams replaces Heath Ledger, kind of expected his family to be here or maybe the mother of his child. Maggie doesn't deserve the nomination I'm sorry. Mo'Nique taking a little jab at the academy and well deserved they tried to screw her over just because she didn't play the game.

Segourney Weaver is presenting for art direction. Meaning Avatar will win

How do you carry around the I pad. Also I approve of Chinese fire drills. Is that offensive? not that I like it, the term.

I hate horror movies, but love parodies of them. Most of these movies have been honored so the opening intro seemed wrong no? A lot of horror comedies and horror suspense which gets honored. And they seemed to show the same ones again and again. Maybes its just the casual horrors I hate because the genius ones can be appreciated across the board. Was there any horror movies from the last decade? Besides twilight, the only thing scary there is the writing.

Love Morgan Freeman narration. Hurt Locker seems to be on a roll.

I love Elizabeth Banks, she is so wonderfully talented.

More time should probably be used for the In Memoriam, that being said it it was longer than I probably would get bored. No love for the technical side of film that we lost.

Man when are people going to stop with the dancing shows, The dancing for Hurt Locker doesn't seem to fit. neither does fantastic Mr fox but damn those jumps are impressive. But I like what they're doing for Up. Avatar lends itself to this type of dancing.

Hurt Locker and Avatar is knotted up with 3 awards a piece.

Tyler Perry could get up there for an award if he so chose. But he's doing just fine by himself.

I hate that each actor/actress gets their own presenter. I know everyone is all about this category but come on. I thought they had negated this with the opening. Tim Robbins had the best opener, Morgan Freeman hasn't seemed to care at all tonight. Jeff Bridges gets the win, no surprise. Obviously took a lot of time to write out his speech...I guess that's just his style, but apparently his speeches have just been getting progressively worse. I like the family stuff but I only wanna see the dude bowl not in a tux. I like the use of the word groovy but not the numbers of times he says man.

Fucking Spicolli. Looks like the Steve Martain joke remains true: Meryl Streep the biggest loser of the Academy. Though I do love that Sandra went over to Meryl and then she in turn waved her off. That is how you give an Academy Award acceptance speech

Barbara is presenting so Bigelow better win. And she does, and deservedly so.

Alright who wins: Wow no bullshit with the nomination reading by Hanks. Thanks Tom. Thought that the little text message may have screwed it over. Love that the actors are going nuts in the background. Love it when they get lost in the moment. Hurt Locker gets it done, Bigelow is visibly shaking, love the overcome emotion. Is James Cameron upset I wonder? Martin goes down to greet Meryl Streep, its like everyone knows they're wronging her but no one does anything to stop it.

THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW LET ME HEAR THEM
