SPEAKING OF THE OSCARS:
Feel free to comment on them here.
UPDATE: They sure ask some hard-hitting questions on the red carpet.
UPDATE: Here's an actual example of a red-carpet question: "When you're in the car ride over, who decides what music to listen to?"
UPDATE: Only 18 hours to go!
UPDATE: When I think Hollywood, I think JC Penney.
UPDATE: Only 19 hours to go!
UPDATE: Everybody is very thankful.
UPDATE: The "Wolfman" Achievement in Makeup guy actually looks like a wolf.
UPDATE: An Oscar shoutout to... The great state of Delaware!
UPDATE: The Knicks beat the Heat.
UPDATE: Let's bring Kirk Douglas back out.
UPDATE: Well, that certainly was two minutes and 11 seconds of pure entertainment shoehorned into just a little over three hours. Good night, everyone.
High ^s the doc.

Jeff was Charlie before Robert was Charlie.

Natalie - GORGEOUS dress and you even have the glamour hair. Beautiful! She's glowing with baby. :)
I think the tassels are placed just a mite high, though, no?
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:17 PM
For twirling, I meant. ;)
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:18 PM
If Natalie mentions craft services I am out of here.

The Oscar for an actress playing an unlikeable character goes to...
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:18 PM
Whhoooaaa !!!!! What a beautiful color she's wearing ! Natalie Portman, I mean.
Good for her ! I have only seen one of the nominated movies - True Grit - but it seems like she was an odds fav.
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:18 PM
Yay Natalie Portman. She seems like a sweet person. I would lose the earrings though.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:18 PM
And she's even charming when she stumbles over a name.
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Natalie Portman's earrings match the tiebacks on my curtains.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Jeff, it was touch-and-go when she mentioned the AD....
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Hair and makeup?
WTFBBQ?
Can craft services be far behind?
What a terrible, boring laundry list speech.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:20 PM
Sandra Bullock looks amazing. Eat your heart out, Jesse James.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:20 PM
Sandra Bullock is always hawt!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | February 27, 2011 at 11:20 PM
1. LOVED the "Drink, at home," moment. :D
2. My roommate just said, "she looks like a fruit rollup."
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:20 PM
YAY for Natalie!!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Sandra funny. I heart her. Just because.
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:22 PM
Sandy, hate the synchronized swimming hair look.
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:22 PM
Sandy is pretty funny.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:22 PM
I really like the individual intros. Sandra called Jeff Bridges "Dude".
Posted by: diverdowndoc | February 27, 2011 at 11:22 PM
I hope Jeff Bridges bogarts the Oscar again.
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:23 PM
Sandra looks gorgeous but her eyes look craft-servicey.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:23 PM
Has Sandy ever hosted? She'd be smashing.
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:23 PM
*SNORKLOLCOUGHCOUGH* ANNIE !!!! I have BRONCHITIS - these *snorks* HURT !!!!!!
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:24 PM
FRANCO!! That's his last name. Sheesh. I couldn't think of that to save my life. Thankfully my life was only dependent on knowing his first name. *phew*
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:25 PM
Can't get Pride and Prejudice out of my mind.....he was a fabulous Mr. Darcy.
Posted by: Coconuts | February 27, 2011 at 11:26 PM
I agree, Diva - she'd do a good job.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:26 PM
YAY for Colin *DROP DEAD GORGEOUS* Firth!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2011 at 11:26 PM
Colin is FUNNY! He has STIRRINGS!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | February 27, 2011 at 11:26 PM
I actually LOVE Colin Furth, although I was hoping Jeff would get it.
GREAT SPEECH, COLIN !!!!!!

After toiling thru all these laundry lists of craft services, anyone else appreciating writers and editors just a wee bit more?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:28 PM
Time to unmake the bed........
Posted by: Coconuts | February 27, 2011 at 11:29 PM
Colin Firth did a great job last year too in A SINGLE MAN, as well as LOVE ACTUALLY of course.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:29 PM
Jeff, PS 22 is going to be on in a few minutes. Colin Firth is hot, hot, hot.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:30 PM
Don't go to sleep before watching the kids from PS 22 on Staten Island doing "Over the Rainbow" - they are wonderful.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:30 PM
Makes note to revise Queue in Netflix... (thanks, Jeff)
Posted by: Coconuts | February 27, 2011 at 11:30 PM
They really ought to hand them some prepared, punched-up, concise acceptance speeches and tell 'em to emote this or we'll take away your statue.
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:31 PM
I, Telecomdropout, nominate Annie-Where-But-Here, writer/editor to the stars, and if I had ANY influence whatsoever (which I don't), I would make sure that Dave Barry/Annie-Where-But-Here next year's Oscar team.
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:31 PM
High ^'s cindy - GMTA.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:31 PM
*gulps more wine*
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:32 PM
Go to sleep???? After-parties, hellooooo!
Tele, you have bronchitis and you're out on Angeles Crest getting graupelled? For shame!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:33 PM
That was a beautiful way to remind folks that there are truly no losers. The nomination itself is sincerely win enough.
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Ten? Cut it back to 3 and get on with it Steve.
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:33 PM
^5 back, Jeff. I'm sorry to say I have not seen any of these movies. In fact I've only heard of a few of them. I may have to go see Toy Story 3 and True Grit.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:36 PM
Awesome movie!!! King's Speech!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2011 at 11:36 PM
Um, surprise ??? NOT.
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:36 PM
Tele, you are high on Nyquil, but thank you. Better get started on my crafty queen's speech now....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:36 PM
How nice! They gave everybody that's seen the movie an Oscar!
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:37 PM
It's like the AYSO - everybody get's a trophy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:38 PM
seems so, cindy... will watch kids sing, then going to bed. nitey nitey
Posted by: Coconuts | February 27, 2011 at 11:39 PM
So, not one surprise winner all night.
Has anyone kept count of how many dresses Anne Hathaway wore?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:39 PM
They all look about as interesting as kudzu salad.
Good freakin' lord Anne, did they paint that gown on?
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:39 PM
I didn't think Anne Hathaway would have so much body art....ooh, wait, that's a dress.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:40 PM
Not yet, Annie. Getting cloes, tho !
THESE KIDS ROCK !!!!!!!!!
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:40 PM
Nite nite..we need to live-blog more often!
Love you guys..mean it!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 27, 2011 at 11:41 PM
The kids were awesome.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:41 PM
Not fair. This chorus is making me cry! You were right Jeff. The chorus and Kirk Douglas were the highlights of this show. Goodnight Dave.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:41 PM
LOVE Anne Hathaway's enthusisam for the kids !!!!
I heart her, too, like Sandra Bullock !
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:42 PM
'Night all.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 27, 2011 at 11:42 PM
PS22. Fabulous.
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:43 PM
Night, night. Don't let the Celines bite.
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:43 PM
Yep, a dose of Nyquil, a pillow and my comforter are calling me - see y'all tomorrow !!!!
Hugs and smoochies to everyone !!!!
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 27, 2011 at 11:43 PM
Goodnight everyone. I love our live blogging and we definitely need to do it more often.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 27, 2011 at 11:44 PM
Night, night, y'all. :) I miss this. Let's talk soon about what we can blog instead of 24.....
Posted by: Diva | February 27, 2011 at 11:46 PM
Nite, nite. I will sleep better knowing Celine has been escorted out of town.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-Graupel | February 27, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Did Casablanca win?
Posted by: Loudmouth | February 27, 2011 at 11:53 PM
I just now found out that one of our good friends from hi school is the aunt of Hailey Seinfield. What a world !! We see these people all the time, and I never knew. Wow. I can't imagine what they are feeling now !
Posted by: telecomdropout | February 28, 2011 at 12:06 AM
Belated *SNORKS*. I was livesnarking on other sites, but I'd have been here too if I'd known! Must read through all three pages tomorrow, when I can keep my eyes open.
Posted by: Renee (the First) | February 28, 2011 at 12:09 AM
Hey! Nobody notified me!
*goes back to read belated snarkiness*
Posted by: djtonyb | February 28, 2011 at 12:20 AM
djtonyb, I put an alert on my Facebook page. I'm sorry, I thought you would see it. Next time I'll let you know personally I promise.
Posted by: nursecindy | February 28, 2011 at 12:28 AM
Apparently, it's going to have to be in the form of a singing telegram, cindy. I scrolled back 2.5 kilometers in my facebook page and found it, but my lovely facebook app for Android decided it probably wasn't important. Social network my tuchus!!! ;)
Posted by: djtonyb | February 28, 2011 at 01:36 AM
Didn't watch the telecast, but had a great time reading your pithy comments; you are all so very entertaining!
I did scroll through some photos of the dresses, which leads to my one question: Does Helena Bonham Carter own a mirror?
Posted by: klezmerphan | February 28, 2011 at 02:24 AM
what channel was that on??
Posted by: queensbee | February 28, 2011 at 07:17 AM
cindy, I believe Anne Hathaway went to the school and met with the kids and was somehow involved in getting them the gig. Pretty cool.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 28, 2011 at 07:22 AM
I thought so.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | February 28, 2011 at 07:35 AM
The Oscars were on?
Posted by: Steve | February 28, 2011 at 08:54 AM
Colin Firth is HAWT. Jude Law, on the other hand, has all the charm and personality of a colonoscopy. JMHO.
Posted by: Miss Chevious | February 28, 2011 at 08:54 AM
So, did Avatar win?
Posted by: Suzy Q (the original) | March 01, 2011 at 02:58 PM
Had it on but I slept through the whole thing.
