The Show

7:42 - Jon Stewart is killing!! "Normally, when there's a woman or a black man president, it's because an asteroid is about to hit the Statue of Liberty."

7:44 - Jennifer Garner's make up looks really pretty. Still not feeling the smoshed boobs though, Rachael.

(Umm...sorry...I've been watching the show, but I've been searching the interweb for red carpet photos.)

8:41 - Whoa...Tilda Swinton won. That was a shocker. I'm glad b/c she was awesome in that movie but I really expected Cate to take it or if not her than Ruby Dee who, did I mention she is 83?? Anyhoo, I think Tilda is an exceptional actress but what's with this whole androgenous thing she's got going on? Talking about how her agent looks just like Oscar. Bitch, YOU look like Oscar.

8:48 - who's luckier: Josh Brolin, for being married to Diane Lane, or Diane Lane, being married to Josh Brolin? I can't decide.

8:54 - Every year they try to make the balloting process interesting and every year they fail miserably. I heard a report about it on NPR and they said that they have cards printed up for each of the nominees and then the two guys with the briefcases? They're the only ones that see the totals and they pull the winning card and toss the others.

8:56 - I swear Kristin Chenoweth has more talent in her little finger than the whole rest of the Kodak Theater put together. Remember when she told Ellen Degeneres to sing from her hoo-ha? Good stuff.

9:03 - OMG Seth & Jonah - not usually my kind of humor but this bit is freaking hilarious. "I look more like Hallie Berry." "Dude, we look exacdtly alike."

9:14 - Lead Actress - another upset! I'm so glad - I loved Marion Cotilliard in that movie. But everyone picked Julie Christie. Look how fabulous she looks. "It is true! There is some angels in this city!"

9:20 - seriously, Collin. Take a shower. It's not cool anymore.

9:21 - man, I SO want the song from "Once" to win...If you didn't read my post about that movie, you really should go back and read it. I'll try to find the link for you.

9:51 - happiest award all night. "Once" won for best song. "Make art! Make art!"

9:53 - Jon Stewart: "Wow, that guy is so arrogant."

9:59 - Jon let Marketa come back out since she didn't get to speak. I've never seen them do that before but I'm so glad they did.

10:11 - you know what I just noticed? Keira Knightley's not here. Why would she not be there with all the nominations "Atonement" received?

10:15 - I understand that girl is excited to win an Oscar for her documentary short but seriously. You're on TV. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.

10:18 - holy crap these documentary features are some depressing films.

10:19 - I think after 10 p.m. they should have some kind of ticker on the side of the screen that counts down how much time is actually left in the program. Because there still seems an awful lot to go. And shit, I have to go to work in the morning.

10:28 - yea! the stripper won. I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't seen "Juno" yet, but every clip I've seen of it is completely hilarious.

10:32 - I know I've talked often about my crush on Helen Mirren, but I just have one more thing to say: I think we have the same hair cut.

10:33 - DDL kinda scares me, and I have not seen that movie and frankly I don't know really even know what it's about (oil?) but that clip they just showed of his performance REALLY scares me.

10:37 - huh? WTF is he talking about? I'm pretty sure no one in the room knows but him.

10:40 - another MIA: the commercial for Jimmy Kimmel's "After Oscar" show tonight advertised that Ben Affleck would be on. So where's his ass tonight? Jennifer's there. His brother's nominated. The girl from his directing debut is there. Where the hell is he?

10:44 - Achievement in Directing - the Cohen brothers. We kinda suspected that, didn't we? But how does a movie have two directors? I'm just wondering.

10:46 - also, did you know Frances McDormand is married to Joel Cohen? I did not.

10:48 - No Country. No surprise. The surprise to me is that Cormac McCarthy is even there. I thought he was a recluse?

Come back tomorrow for photos and fashion recap.
