The Running (Oscar Commentary) Man
It's that time of year again...dig in and follow along with me as I surf the peaks and valleys of the Academy Awards! You'll probably get comments from my mom too as she checks in with me on the phone. Tradition runs deep. :-D
It's raining up here, but the weather down in LA seems pretty nice. They're arriving in on the carpet know, and Ebert and Roeper are there.
Ebert's talking Laura Linney now. Nice dress but her hair kinda evokes a Gieger alien.
They're showing Academy of Art College commercials with Diane Baker, dean of the acting school, and I saw another version of the commercial where I swear she actually said, "you might remember me as Senator Ruth Martin in The Silence of the Lambs," all Troy McClure style.
P. Diddy is there wearing his own clothing line with a $100,000 bracelet. Ho yeah. P. Diddy has declared it "a great night for fashion." You heard it here first.
Don Cheadle! Sexy man!
OMG! Did you see Hilary Swank's pretty blue dress with nipples?! It's Guy LaRoche. So there. Oooh, pictures! So here!
It's like being there! Only it's from my TV!!!
So yeah, this carpet arrival shit is getting boring. Renée Zellweger in black hair. Meh. Cate Blanchett looks fucking radiant.
Wow, the rain here is really coming down.
Johnny Depp looks amazing as always.
Oh Jesus...it's Billy Bush. Kill me.
brb...heading to 7-11 :-D
oooh yeah! Back with 6 minutes to spare!
It's starting!!! :-D
Wow...it's odd to think that J.C. Penney can still sponsor events like this. Simba in the only cat I know that likes to play in the rain. He just came in all soggy and wanting love.
Chris Rock is lookin' sexy. :-) "Sit yo asses down!" I know my mom isn't gonna get the Ja Rule is not Tupac jokes.
Art Direction's the first one. Ah, this must be their new time-saving measure. All the nominees are standing on the stage. And the winner is The Aviator.
Best Supporting Actor! My guess is Thomas Haden Church. And it's Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby! Yay! That's cool. :-)
My mom liked the way he bowed. "That's a classy man," she says.
The screens in the stage are cool.
Robin Williams schtick. Yay.
Okay, animation. If it's not The Incredibles, the Academy can eat me. YAAAAY! It's The Incredibles. :-D
Oooh, another time-saving measure. They show them in their seats. And they give their speeches on stair landing. Oh, the indignity. :-) Oh, the winner is Lemony Snicket. I got this one right too.
"Please welcome...the multi-talented...Drew Barrymore." Oh my Gawd! She looks like Kelly Osbourne!!!
Beyoncé sings in French with a murder of pale white kids. Haw haw haw...what message ees zees zending to Miseur Boosh? She definately finished better than she started. Simon Cowell woulda tore her up though. :-)
The bit where Chris Rock goes to the Magic Johnson theatres was pretty funny. Nobody's seen any of the best picture nominees but everyone's seen and loves White Chicks. :-) The lady who was bitching Chris Rock out for being all up on her was hilarious.
Pierce Brosnan sounds like Tom Waits! Awww, and he's doing a bit with Edna from The Incredibles. This is for Costumes. And my pick was The Aviator. And the winner is...The Aviator! Damn I'm good!
Tim Robbins presents Best Supporting Actress. I picked Cate Blanchett for The Aviator. And the winner is...Cate Blanchett! Woohoo! I'll say it again, she looks absolutely radiant. Uh-oh. My mom's really happy with that one. She called me to share her approval. :-) She's hoping The Aviator wins best picture.
Doron in NYC speaks:
Doron Meyer: blah blah :)
Doron Meyer: are you truly liveblogging the oscars :0
Jason Bentley: Yes :-D
And the best documentary is not Super Size Me which will turn a bunch of people off.
Orlando Bloom! *fapfapfapfapfap*
Best Film Editing goes to Thelma Schoonmaker for The Aviator. So this is turning into an Aviator party big time. I didn't make a choice for this award.
"Welcome...the loveable...Mike Myers." Love him. Love him, people. And he's introducing the "popular singing group" Counting Crows. *bites lower lip*
Adam Sandler for Best Adapted Screenplay. I said Sideways. And again, I was right. Boo-yaa!
Wow, Zhang Zi-yi looks terrified as she presents Best Visual Effects with Jake Gyllenhall. I picked Spider-Man 2. Right again, baby! Woohoo!
Al Pacino presents an honorary Oscar to Sidney Lumet. Lumet wrote a great book about movie making that I'd recommend to anybody with even the least bit of interest in the subject. It's called Making Movies if memory serves. Whoa...shots of a movie in production with Vin Diesel in a hairpiece as a lawyer. Bizarro.
Beyoncé is singing again. I'm getting sleepy.
The short subject winner said her award was the dog's bollocks. Joy.
Kate Winslet's looking awesome. She's wearing blue. I like blue. Cinematography - I'd said The House Of Flying Daggers but not surprisingly it went to The Aviator.
Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek gives out Sound Mixing to a bunch of guys for Ray. And sound editing to The Incredibles.
What's up with all these off-camera banging sounds?
¡Ay Dio! Antonio Banderas sings with Carlos Santana! And they embrace! Bravo!
Best Documentary Short Subject, Natalie Portman, yada yada. A drunk guy wins. Yay HBO.
Okay, Travolta gives out Original Score. I say The Passion of the Christ. And I'm wrong. It's Finding Neverland. Which I haven't seen. So yay. :-)
If The Aviator keeps kicking ass, Scorsese might get the Best Director Oscar.
Beyoncé again! Singing with Josh Groban! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Holy shit! It's Prince! He's presenting best song to the guy from The Motorcycle Diaries, who sang his thanks.
Sean Penn presents Best Actress! Fingers crossed for Hillary Swank! And its....HILARY SWANK! Yayayayay! I'll reiterate: she rules.
Best Original Screenplay goes to Charlie Kaufman for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!
Charlize Theron presents Best Actor to...Jamie Foxx for Ray. Yay! I got 3/4 of the major acting categories.
Best Director: Clint Eastwood :-) We knew that, though, didn't we?
Hoffman and Streisand present Best Picture! They know the queens are watching, don't they? And the winner is...(is Dustin drunk?)...the winner is...Million Dollar Baby.
And with that, I'm out. :-) Mom's virdict tomorrow.
