That 9-year-old actress is too young to be watching this, my TV says it’s rated 14.
Not all of them. Where’s Scarlett Johansson?
Where’s Scarlett? Damn you, Broadway! Damn you all to hell!
Whoever is directing this telecast is having a tough night. Some obviously wrong camera shots here, as well as during the opening.
Oh, and Life of Pi wins a technical award for cinematography! Who saw THAT coming?
Wow. I’ll remember that speech for a while.
That was a pretty awesome speech. I like how overwhelmed he was, and still remembered his wife and daughters.
I wanted Pirates: Band of Misfits to win. And don’t understand the love for Paperman, which takes a cartoonish turn that ruins it.
Now I’ll HAVE to see Life of Pi.
But wouldn’t it have been great to have The Avengers win for visual effects with the guys right there to present it?
Jaws music to play off the speeches? That’s awesome!
I wonder what he was going to urge us all to remember.
But didn’t that cutoff seem kind of abrupt? Is there something going on here?
Yeah, I thought that was pretty clever.
So far, using the Jaws theme to shut up winners who talk to much is the highlight of the night.
The Fifth of November?
All sorts of awkwardness there, with the visual effects protests going on outside the Oscars over the shutdown of Rhythm and Hues.
Life of Pi for Cinematography and Visual Effects. Poor Hobbit, but ok. Pi was a silly movie but it sure was pretty, and that tiger was amazing.
Yes, a Coke commercial. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
Did Jennifer Aniston just wink at Clooney?
What happened?
Hobbit definitely should have won on the merit of effects, but Pi is getting a lot of love from the critics. Except for the incredibly, incredibly powerful monologue from the main character at the end of the movie, I thought it was only OK. Hobbit, to me, was also the better movie.
Very classy acceptance speech.
I’m reminded of what someone once said: “Don’t wear what designers design. Wear what they wear.”
Yay, so happy for Anna Karenina’s costume win. I’m mostly over the Academy’s insistence that the category is Most Costumes, not Best Costumes, but that movie had some really inventive costumes that also helped define the characters. Congrats, Jacqueline Durran!
