Besides me? It’s weird, I’m sitting in Chicago with no TV, but I’m watching it via a television in Kansas City thanks to a wonderful technology called a SlingPlayer. I love technology! The Red Carpet is happening now. They just talked to Angelina Jolie and are talking to Colin Firth as I type. Kevin Spacey now. He was great in Casino Jack and his nomination is very deserved. I’ll post the movie nominees/results but I know nothing about the TV nominees. So, anyone else out there at their computer watching? ---

I’m a bit behind because of the SlingPlayer delay, and I’m doing links for the movie nominees. I already have their names and categories, which I don’t have for the TV nominees. Katy Segal just won something. ---

Carlos won mini-series, which is interesting in that it’s also a theatrical release and is winning several critics awards as a film. I missed it when it played Chicago. _sad_ ---

Milla is so beautiful tonight, lovely dress. I love her, she’s such a nice person. I didn’t know until last night that Mila Kunis pronounced her first name same as Milla Jovovich. Mee-lah. Edit that Steve Buscemi wins for Boardwalk Empire. ---

I really like Steve Buscemi but I have not watched Boardwalk Empire. I am a huge fan of Dexter and I love Hugh Laurie, but I think Steve is super talented so I can’t be disappointed here. Loved his “sad music” line too, sounds like everyone’s been played off so far. ---

Poor Andrew Garfield just totally flubbed EVERYTHING he just said. But during the Social Network I could not stop staring at how damn pretty he was! And I watched it with my boyfriend so I had to gush silently hah. ---
