Feb. 27th. Can't wait.

Finally!

Got a GOOD clip from the Oscars. Enjoy!

And the award for Best DANCE goes to...

Notice that this year I didn't post anything about the Oscars... sorry, my bad. But really, you should blame the Internet because I was waiting to post on the show until I had found the dance they did to present the best song nominees.... and I still could only find this sucky link. Sorry for the horrible quality... you try finding a better clip!

But seriously... check it out.

Oscar Time! Part 9

I'm getting tired. And sick. My cough and my headache is getting worse. 

10:26pm Best Actress time! Yes. Sweet Presenters too. Listen to the audience go crazy!

10:29pm I like this presenting style- way more moving. 

10:31pm Sophia Loren= trainwreck. She looks scary. And PS Meryl has the best seat in the house. 

10:33pm Winslet wins. Not a shock, but I am so happy because she is amazing. I can think of no better role model for women everywhere than that woman. 

10:35pm Aw, I would have asked my Dad to whistle too! Adorable. She is just so genuine. 

This is sad, but I wish we could fast forward. I have so much to do and I am tiiiirrreed. 

10:38pm awesome presenters for Best Actor. 

10:43pm Who do I want to win? Rourke or Penn? Decisions decisions. 

10:44pm Sean Penn wins for Milk. Very nice. And way cool camera angles this year, Academy. Well done. 

10:47pm Signs of hatred? So sad. That is ridiculous. 

10:49pm Speilberg is like speaking a different language. Ugh I don't know if I can do another montage. 

10:53pm Ok, here goes, Best Picture time. Slumdog? Yep, yep. Slumdog. 

10:57pm Previews? Sweet, I'll stick around for that, but I'm peacin' out. It's been a blast, but I'm done blogging tonight! 

Oscar Time! Part 8

10:07pm I love Liam's voice. I saw him once in a documentary about black holes at a planetarium. To be honest, I fell asleep. His voice is so soothing...

10:09pm He is 'berry' happy. Nice. Haha they hope to be back. They are funny. 

10:12pm The montage of people who died this year, always one of my favorite parts. Oh, and now it includes a song from Queen Latifah!? Awesome. this is becoming more like the Grammy's/Tony's... but why does the camera keep moving?! It is making it hard for me to read the screens! Heston! Newman! This is the best looking award show ever... 

This was the second award show I saw that did not show Ledger in their montages of people who died. The other was the Globes maybe? Or the SAG Awards? I can't remember. Why is this?

10:19pm No speech and he's retiring? Very noble of you sir. Aw Reese, you look weird. 

10:20pm Stutter. I think that music caught her off guard...

10:22pm I'm bitter about another Slumdog win, but he is right- this show is beautiful. Totally living up to the hype. 

Oscar Time! Part 7

Ok, if you are on the same channel as me, you just saw a Project Runway back to back hit! Heidi in a Diet Coke commercial followed by Tim Gunn's Tide commercial. Glad to see they are keeping busy while their show is tied up in the courts. 

9:45pm Yeah Jerry Lewis. I did a 'kick-a-thon' for MDA for four years in high school with my Dance Team and answered phones at the Telethon twice. Great organization!

9:51pm Music? Is he going to sing again? Oh, no. Instrumentals. 

9:54pm Alright, Zac, my love. And, uh, does Alicia's hair look like a wig? Weird. Oh boy, Slumdog again. 

9:58pm I adore John Legend. Sing to me. 

10:02pm Please tell me MIA is about to win an Oscar...

Is this MIA's song? I need to pay better attention. 

Oscar Time! Part 6

8:53pm Aw Hugh. Dreamy. omg Beyonce. Surprise!  I love musicals. Mama Mia! Zac Efron!! That's it, that is what more a woman could ask for. 

8:58pm Okay, by far my favorite part of the show so far!!

Alright, I had to temporarily pause my viewing because my neighbors house may or may not be on fire. No emergency, they are just outside and I can see fireman axing down walls on the inside. Hmm.. I'll catch up!

Supporting Actor time, whoop whoop. aka the Heath Ledger award. 

Kevin Kline, way to rep the StL! 

why is P S Hofman wearing a ski cap? Weird. 

Josh Brolin=gorgeous. 

Cuba Gooding Jr. is so funny. I could listen to him talk all day long. He probably has one of the best acceptance speeches ever at the Oscars. They should let him host next year!

And the Oscar goes to Heath, duh. This would have been the dreamiest awards show ever if he was there. Every man I love in Hollywood- Jackman, Craig, Efron, Franco, and my all time crush Heath Ledger. 

Aw look at everyone tearing up. This is so sad. Even the stone cold Angelina has a soul. Who woulda thought?

Montage time! I was thinking this montage was really boring until she cursed. Then it was amusing. 

Wish I watched more documentaries... but I don't. 

Wire-walking guy= hilarious. Haha. 

Ugh. I am fast forwarding, but I don't know if I can catch up! I am fast forwarding thru a montage that has Daniel Craig clips. You have no idea how much that hurt. 

Ok, back on track. 

9:27pm Love me some Will Smith. 

9:28pm Duh, Button wins. 

9:30pm So glad The Dark Knight got some recognition, especially over Slumdog. why is it these technical guys always have really prepared, eloquent speeches and the actors don't?

9:33pm Well, except these guys. They are surprised? Slumdog was predicted to sweep this thing. 

9:35pm Yeah, love Will and all, but where is Hugh?!

9:37pm more Slumdog. Basically we have learned that Danny Boyle inspires everyone. 

Oscar Time! Part 5

8:44pm Haha love this montage. Love James Franco. Haha Mama Mia singing, can't stop laughing at that song. This is hilarious. 

8:46pm Yes, James Franco. Is this like the hottest men alive show or what? Craig, Jackman, Franco on stage, Pitt in the audience, what more does a girl need?

8:48pm Did they butcher that name? Or was it right? How are we supposed to know? But Seth's laughing indicates that they butchered it. Ha. 

Oscar Time! Part 4

8:33pm haha oh Ben. You are so funny. And I love Natalie Portman more than anything. How is she so pretty? It's not normal. 

8:35pm I love this. Ben wandering the stage. Classic. Also, cinematography totally makes a movie. I don't know why, but it is really one of my favorite awards of the night. Too bad, it is another Slumdog win. I promise I don't hate the movie, just bored with all the hype. 

Wow, that was a boring segment. Commercials again? Sorry, part 4, you're short. 

8:39pm Whoops. It's back. Jessica Biel? Not remotely famous. 

8:41pm Uhoh another commercial break. This is weird. 

Oscar Time! Part 3

8:17pm No lie. I was just texting my friend (hey, Cara!) and threw my phone on the floor when I heard them say Daniel Craig. AHH! I love him so much. Doesn't Danielle Craig sound so good? Yeah, I know it does. 

8:19pm Who thinks Button will win all the art/technical awards. I do! I do!

8:20pm God, he looks good in a suit. 

8:22pm I feel like every movie Keira Knightley is in wins awards for costumes. Maybe she just like pretty dresses more than acting?

8:24pm Daniel Craig presenting again? YES!

8:26pm Ew Twilight. But, yes Mama Mia! I love Amanda! And another montage! On romance? ug.

8:29pm Okay, that was kind of cute. Thanks for the Forgetting Sarah Marshall and HSM3 shout outs! 

Oscar Time! Part 2

Back from commercial break

7:45pm Comedians are great. I love Tina Fey. 

7:56pm Original Screenplay? My pick is Wall-E. Tougher to write for cartoons... and a lot of silence. 

7:58pm Milk, cool. I have a feeling with the Prop 8 fall out, it will do really well tonight. And, aha very nice speech.

8:00pm Ah, same presenters for more than one category. Clever.  Adapted Screenplay? My pick is Doubt. But, honestly any of these could win and I would be happy, they are all wonderful. 

8:03pm No offense, but I hope this is not a Slumdog sweep tonight. I'm kind of sick about hearing how awesome it is. 

8:04pm Jennifer Aniston! YES! A movie yearbook? Yes, another montage!

8:07pm Wall-E wins for best animated feature, awkward for Jack Black. 

8:10pm Ha I just realized they kept showing Angelina when Jack Black was talking because she was in Kung Fu Panda with Jack Black, but he just happens to be standing on stage with her 'nemisis,' the former Mrs. Pitt. 

Oscar Time!

This is my REAL TIME Oscar blog! I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, I could certainly just tweet all my thoughts, but I'm sure people would get sick of that (especially since a lot of my followers aren't big twitter users... yet). So here are my thoughts on the big show...

7:31pm The show is starting! Stage looks gorgeous, and so does Hugh (of course). And ha, look at that, he's funny too... Yes, singing! He has such a wonderful voice... highlights: serenading Kate, the 'Craig's list dancers', The Dark Knight shout out, the Benjamin Button head cut-outs, and Anne Hathaway! Marvelous!  The Reader dance was hilarious. I would say one of the better openings I have seen at the Oscars! Hugh is so dreamy. Funny. Charming. Candid. He is a natural entertainer. 

7:42pm Oh how I love montages! I know they were talking about doing different things with the show this year, and if this is it- paying homage to past winners as a way to honor the new ones? I think it is brilliant. Oh, and so great them talking to the nominees. It makes it so much more meaningful! But not sure how this will keep the time down...

7:48pm Okay, best supporting. My pick? Viola Davis. I haven't seen it the film, but I saw it on stage last year in Kansas City and that role, that story, is just breathtaking. 

7:48pm Cruz wins? Okay, I'll take it because she is so darn pretty.
