I just came back from this, so I have about 6,000 calories of saturated fat slowing down my circulatory system and am ready for some serious Oscar watching. This is an open thread for award show commentary.
12:14: Nicholson looks like Lex Luthor. And w00t on The Departed!
12:09: Woo Scorcese! And as for the Spielberg/Lucas/Coppola presentation, it's no accident that Lucas never won an Oscar. Was watching the extended cut of Return of the Jedi today. That movie's terrible. Though Kriston sure knows a lot about it.
12:07: Weird speech by Whittaker, what with the taking the Oscar into the next life.
11:55: So I wasn't paying attention when the Best Actress was announced, and I totally thought that woman in the middle made a nasty, disappointed face when the winner was announced. Then it turns out that woman was the winner. So go Helen Mirren, I misjudged you! You were so classy as to be disappointed by your own victory...
11:43: As my friend Brian just noted, Martin Scorcese looks an awful lot like Henry Kissinger.
11:30: Props to Melissa Etheridge for invoking the dreaded gay family. Middle-aged lesbians are so non-threatening. And they love Al Gore!
11:25: So my crew is having a roaring debate over who sang better: Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson? Settle it for us.
11:18: Aberfeldy's Summer's Gone is in a Diet Coke commercial? Awesome!
