Will American Laura Linney take home the Best Actress award from a bunch of foreigners? Will indie darling Juno take home Best Picture from the bigger-budget films? Will I drink your milkshake? These questions and more will be answered at the Kodak Theatre with Jon Stewart and Hollywood’s finest. It’s spectacle that even I, who only saw two of the nominated films this year (and they were Ratatouille and Transformers), is interested in!
Here’s a link to a list of nominees if anyone needs it.
Here.
Wish I could watch; I’m at work. I’ll be able to catch the “good” awards later though.
Only Oscar-y movies I’ve gotten around to seeing are Juno and There Will Be Blood. Loved both so I have someone to root for.
Jon Stewart’s already gotten off a few good ones, and he doesn’t need oversized props or a band to do it.
Does this town need a hug? Yes. Yes it does.
Previous years we had the odds posted for various awards. Anyone got them?
I will try to find the odds somewhere.
I was just thinking, I bet the costume design winner looks frumpy.
All I could see were her earrings.
It’s the Oscar Oscar Montage!

What terrible music choice. Titanic? Seriously?
Well, not a complete list but I did find these odds for some of the catagories.
Huh. I thought for sure it was gonna be Persepolis. How many does this make for Pixar now? Three?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAH. *&%$#@!
I was surprised by the Snow White clip. I thought that went down the memory hole. Interesting they aren’t claiming a billion viewers this year.
Well, I think that’s 1. Thanks Brad Bird.
No, just 800 billion.
- I should have taken the over.
Look at her. Her eyes…she’s singing to imaginary animals. It’s Uncle Jemima!
I’d forgotten how cute Amy Adams is…
