Do they ever end on time?<\/p>\n
Here is a running list of my thoughts and observations as I watched the Oscars. If I tweeted more, these could have been live, but I don\u2019t. So, here they are:<\/p>\n
I heart NPH. He makes me laugh, even though a lot of people will probably hate this opening bit.<\/p>\n
I totally nailed my best supporting actor prediction. J.K. Simmons. Although, I totally doubted myself as they played the clips from the movies and I thought Edward Norton was going to swipe in for the steal. Good thing I didn\u2019t have time to change my prediction. Stuck the landing.<\/p>\n
9:00ish DVR completely freaks the fuck out and locks up \u2013 has to be rebooted. Luckily it was during costume design\/make up awards and I didn\u2019t really miss anything, but it was very. Bad. Timing.<\/p>\n
Nicole Kidman looks fake as hell.<\/p>\n
Why do they make people sit on those weird little box seats on the side? It takes them forever to get to the stage.<\/p>\n
Long speeches and wrap up music. Wrap. It. Up. People.<\/p>\n
Everything is awesome was not awesome. It was terrible. I don\u2019t get it. I\u2019m not into the whole Lego thing, and that was definitely weirdo Mcweirdo at the Oscars.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of screaming over the music and lengthy speeches tonight (and every year of Oscar history ever, I guess).<\/p>\n
Jason Bateman looks better than ever. The documentary film maker that won the award he handed out with the pom pom dress did not, however. HA, then NPH made a joke about it. \u201cIt takes a lot of balls to wear a dress like that.\u201d I guess I\u2019m not the only one that took notice.<\/p>\n
The Oscar nominated songs are not doing it for me this year. Tim McGraw is flat as hell. What a terrible last note! Too bad Glen Campbell couldn\u2019t have sung it himself.<\/p>\n
NPH got naked on stage, which was ballsy. Pun intended.<\/p>\n
I just remembered that I didn\u2019t post about my predictions for best director. I just added a comment to my blog post on facebook to give myself a timestamp in case any of my 10 readers doesn\u2019t believe me. I think Linklater should win.<\/p>\n
Jared Leto\u2019s hair has gone into another league that is now starting to diminish his hotness instead of enhance it. Time to chop it off buddy.<\/p>\n
Twitter is the best ever invention. If there\u2019s any lull in the action, twitter always comes through.<\/p>\n
I missed my prediction on Emma Stone for best supporting actress. I can feel that I\u2019m going to be wrong. Now that I\u2019m watching the clips, I think Arquette should win. Drum roll please\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026Damn it. I knew I should have picked her. Too late. I\u2019m 1 for 2.<\/p>\n
I hate all the songs.<\/p>\n
Fatigue is starting to set in. I\u2019m old and sleepy. I know I don\u2019t have to go to work tomorrow, but my eyelids are getting heavy.<\/p>\n
Ok, I don\u2019t hate all the songs. John Legend\u2019s voice is amazing. His Selma song with Common is pretty good. That performance blew all the others out of the water. A much-deserved standing ovation.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s 11:30 and none of the major awards have been given out. This seems to be one of the longest running Oscars ever. They don\u2019t seem even a little pressed for time.<\/p>\n
Oprah\u2019s dress is freaking awesome.<\/p>\n
Best Director coming up. I predicted Linklater, but Anderson or Inarritu are strong contenders. And the Academy Award goes to\u2026Alejandro Inarritu. As predicted, I\u2019m stinking at my predictions. I guess that\u2019s the only thing I can predict. Inarritu was amazing as a director. He directed such an insanely good film. I thought Linklater might win because of how conceptually different and innovative Boyhood was being filmed over such a long time.<\/p>\n
Best actor coming up now. It\u2019s such a tough category. I nailed it. Eddie Redmayne. He gave a great performance.<\/p>\n
And now the best actress. Holy shit Matthew McConaughy: What. Is. Your. Beard?\u00a0\u00a0 Hahahaha. I just read a tweet by comedian Esther Ku (@EstherKuKu) and she said \u201cIs Matthew McConaughy wearing pube extensions on his beard?\u201d My thoughts exactly. Julianna Moore wins. My stats are getting better and better, here.<\/p>\n
Locked box joke is falling quite a bit flat. Sorry, Neil.<\/p>\n
Oh Sean Penn. You look a little too intense for your own good right now.<\/p>\n
Best Picture. Drum Roll Please\u2026\u2026\u2026Birdman. I nailed it. And so did the Academy. It was one of my favorite films ever. Go watch it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
