When the two guys came up for the live action short, did anyone see the look of death the 2nd guy gave the 1st guy when 1st guy rambled on so long (with a few lame jokes about getting an extra 10 seconds and asking the conductor to miss his musical cue) that 2nd guy didn’t get to speak at all? Jerk.
I can’t get over that Annie Lennox has a tan. I don’t think I have ever seen her tanned… Very odd. Got a good elf look going on tonite tho.
I thought the same thing.
Commercial break. Time for a refill and a cigarette.
Both the Cold Mountain songs were boring.
Peter Jackson is in long pants, and he is wearing shoes. For that, he must be forgiven for not having the tie tight around his neck and looking rumpled. I mean, come on folks–he’s wearing shoes!
Yep. I saw it too. I thought, “Maybe I missed the other guy’s speech,” but nope. It just turns out his buddy needed all the time.
Pretty good commercials for oscar night. Better than the Superbowl, so far. I’m impressed.
What’s with the “sounds of the oscars” bumpers?
a) We’re not hearing anything new
b) The damn show is long enough already.
You guys are so lucky with your 5 second time delay. For some reason they like to pretend that Hawaii is really in the eastern standard time zone and record and play later things like this. On a sunday even! It doesn’t start here for another 90 mintures.
Rackin’ frackin’ varmints! Why watch when I already know all the outcomes. I hate it when they do that.
Indeed.
I’m guessing we won’t get to hear if someone exclains “shit, no way!” Which is why I’m rooting for Bill
Could it be that PJ is doing an homage to Jake Blues?
“What you are thinking” was gold!
Gosh. I didn’t even grin at Billy Crystal’s “what people are thinking” shtick. And I usually find him funny. SAD.
You should check out Alison Krauss + Union Station - Live on CD or DVD.
She’s charming as all get out.
It wasn’t so bad. I like the special effects stuff, 'cause I’m a computer nerd.
K, well WHO didn’t know THAT? Of course LOTR for visual effects.
Does anyone else think Charlize Theron looks too tan? I don’t know if that’s it, or something else, and it’s just the tan that I notice instead of whatever is really different … or is she really tan?
Is Spike Jonze anywhere to be seen tonight? [Backstory: he and Best Director nominee Sofia Coppola are in the process of getting divorced.]
What special effects stuff? (I’m serious – I didn’t notice any!)
She’s so hot she’s toasty.
And the nominations for women Bruce_Daddy would like to bang:
Jennifer Garner. (applause)
Charlize Theron. (applause)

Hey look! It’s Lex Luthor!!!
