It’s time for the main event! Oscars, baby! Will Ellen Page ruin Julie Christie’s night? Will Hal Holbrook reminisce about the very fist Oscars? And most, importantly, sound mixing…who in the name of God will win sound mixing?!? Let’s find out together, shall we?!?
The live blog begins….now! (Keep clicking back for updates!)
8:26PM — Someone let Regis Philbin on stage!!! It’s just not the same when he’s not yelling at Gelman and Art Moore.
8:31PM — Nothing says glamour like something that looks like a UPS truck pulling up the Kodak theater driven by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
8:36PM — First Yom Kippur joke of the evening. See, Billy Crystal, we don’t need you. And then throw in a Nicholson in shades shot for good measure. Finally, I’m home.
8:40PM — “Withdrawing the Iraq movies would only embolden the audience,” doesn’t really go over like gangbusters. A short political section ends a pretty short monologue. Clearly it’s been a rough week and a half for Stewart and his writers but come on…nothing memorable there. I mean…nothing.
8:42PM — Jennifer Garner, our first presenter! Remember the year she almost tripped on the way to podium…yeah, that was a lot more interesting than her presenting Best Costume Design just now. And the first award of the night goes to….”Elizabeth: The Golden Age”?!? That would be swell if that film were, I don’t know, watchable. I know the award is for costumes but please, twenty minutes into “Elizabeth” and I wasn’t looking at the couture as much as my watch. Rim shot! And…commercial break.
8:47PM — George Clooney introduces a montage of great Oscar moments. It includes at least two moments with Chevy Chase, Rob Lowe singing with Snow White, and the theme from “Titanic.” Somewhere James Cameron is jumping up on a couch still screaming “I’m king of the world!”
8:51PM — Here’s what I love about Steve Carell, the next presenter alongside Anne Hathaway. He sweats more profusely on live television than Albert Brooks did in “Broadcast News.” Like he sweats so much I’m pretty sure it’s a diagnosed problem. And isn’t that sweet?
8:55PM — Katherine Heigl presenting Best Makeup. And it goes to…”La vie en Rose.” Cut to Marion Cotillard in the audience who I have decided after watching all through the Oscars season is either slightly crazy or very French. She’s so bubbly and kooky, all wide eyes and strange hand movements. She’s like this year’s Eva Green.
9:00PM — Amy Adams is super charming and all but WHAT…AM…I…WATCHING?
