it's party time!!
We're back for our second ever Oscars liveblog, which, coincidentally means we're celebrating our one-year anniversary as a Blog tonight! Technically we're a little bit late, as our first post was about the movie Bridesmaids and was on February 21st, but whatever! Here we are!
It'll be a busy night for us, as we'll be pulling double duty - liveblogging this, and The Walking Dead. We're not entirely sure how that'll all play out, but we know it's going to be fun.
Are you excited? Got your drinks, and your pool selections all made?
From walking the red carpets to getting played off stage, we'll have (almost)every moment of the star studded action!
Jump with us to get started!
7:00 - welcome to the Red Carpet - this aspect of the pre-show is going to be our bread and butter (we are not excited about Seth McDoucheland) . Since this is a party, and we're sure the stars have begun to imbibe, we advise you do too! it'll make it all the more fun. feel free to make up your own games at home, or have drinks at whatever random intervals we decide here. cheers!
in case you're curious, we'll be switching between american and canadian feeds, featuring kristen chenoweth and
funny stuff - kristen chenoweth thinks the red carpet is 2000 of her.
kelly rowland is there too.
oh, and as per usual, the carpet seems almost magenta.
7:03 - melissa mccarthy is on the canadian red carpet feed, over on E! she has a neat little grey deal. her husband is wearing "a tuxedo." ha! she's wearing david meister.
oh, hey - look, it's jennifer hudson. she's got a neat little blue number.
then E! switches to perez hilton and kelly osborne.
so, they cut to jennifer lawrence, who is in an epically pretty white train thing. boom.
we also see amanda seyfriend in an exquisite alexander mcqueen - it's damn nice.
7:05 - kerry washington is wearing a very classy red number, we approve.
7:06 - oh hey, kelly rowland is interviewing channing tatum and jenna dewan-tatum. they're a well-dressed couple. that's a pretty impressive maternity dress. they talk about babies more, meh.
7:07 - on the way to commercial we see charlize theron and amy adams, each looking rather dream-worthy.
shit, did i say commercial? drink.
7:10 - we're back with amanda seyfried who is in a crazily beautiful mcqueen in which "she can't sit down," and feels like she'll lose her organs. she likes corsets. so do we. she talks about costumes, periods, bloating and corsets? then kristen chenoweth casts her on broadway?
then they open up a bit.
there's oscar history there?
it's a thing in a box, and it's made of over 2000 individual components.
gorgeous amanda seyfried guesses a head. *shrug*
she's so marvellous.
7:12 - Quvenzhane Wallis is there in a wicked little dress. They drop that she's been cast as the new Annie.
"so you can sing too?"
"i guess"
ha!
her purse is a puppy in its own little dress, by the way.
7:13 - there are some pretty cool bits about the fasions of hollywood and red carpets, featuring some drawings of old pieces. we now go to a documentary featuring like, vera wang, dian von ferstenburg and michael kors, some marchesa people...
...cool, i guess.
filler stuff. drink.
7:16 - jennifer lawrence is here, talking about bears shitting in woods, being friends with sally field and wearing an awesome damn dress from haute couture dior.
7:17 - zoe soldana is here in a wonderful piece with a great hem.
just as to note though, umm, nina simone's family didn't want that movie made. just sayin'.
so, i turned it.
7:18 - back on E! (with maybe seacrest) anne hathaway is here. she looks damn elegant, talking about marriage and vegan ice cream. her seams are a liiiittle confusing.
anyway, they start talking about party games - drink - before we find out she's wearing prada. it's not bad. a little chesty.
7:19 - naomi watts is there, looking super shiny with a lot of cut outs. liev schreiber is there too. meh. they're cool i guess. seriously though, the asymmetry of her dress is pretty cool.
7:20 - back with kristen chenoweth catherine zeta-jones and michael douglas are there. she looks fantastic, like a golden goddess. her dress is a great piece of golden fun with a little flute on the bottom.
7:21 - oh shit, it's daniel radcliffe - in a bow tie? bow ties are cool.
y'know, danny is british
his eyebrows are pretty darned effed. i love them.7:23 - oh, a commercial? drink
coming back, we learn that on the twitters, jennifer lawrence is currently trending as the best dressed, followed by amy adams and amanda seyfried.
then we have a little segment about "oscar"... okay.
boring filler segment?
drink.
7:27 - oh, good. bradley cooper is here.
E! goes to their fashion panel, and i need some more to drink.
7:31 - some time later we wind up with reese witherspoon. her deep blue number with a bunch of black accentuation. it's pretty dope. then she starts talking about some movie that i have no interest in.
oh, then joseph gordon-levitt is there - it's his first oscars! he talks loud. slicking the hair back all 30's style is pretty big for the men this year. oh, that and bow ties. yup. his socks are cute and don't match apparently.
7:33 - now we go to another one of these pre-packed dealies.
drink.
commercial after?
well, drink again.
7:40 - oh, good! more style panels!
yes, jennifer anniston is definitely relevant to the oscars.
oh, good. time for the contradictory nature of stylists and fashion gurus. "take chances!" "this is too out there!"
that said, these fashion police people give us a pretty good shot of nicole kidman's super awesome black sleeveless number. it looks fun. black with golden jeweled aspects. shut up, you fashion punks.
hey, does keith urban travel through time to get these haircuts? in an australian delorean?
oh yes.
7:45 - adele looks nice tonight, but a little conservative. that's her bag though. super retro. we dig it.
7:47 - oh hey, look. it's ben affleck and jennifer garner. ben affleck looks like he's trying to channel dave grohl. (dat beard). jennifer garner looks like she's trying to be purple and beautiful. one of them is succeeding.
wait. discussions about beards v beards? resulting in casual homophobia?
yo, drink.
7:50 - well, hugh jackman is wearing a tuxedo. like all the dudes! surprise!
kristen chenoweth asks him and his wife about that there box thing.
oh, it was given as a gift.
they can't say to who.
ha!
hugh jackman references se7en! people are awesome.
umm, they guess handcuffs. why?
7:52 - chris evans is here, with his mom, it seems? that's sweet.
7:53 - so, we're late to the party, but yay for robert de niro, grace hightower and interracial marriages.
7:54 - whelp, daniel radcliffe has switched feeds. that's pretty awesome, i guess. he's back. he's overwhelmed and he's no authority on the horse meat scandal.
7:47 - oh hey, look. it's ben affleck and jennifer garner. ben affleck looks like he's trying to channel dave grohl. (dat beard). jennifer garner looks like she's trying to be purple and beautiful. one of them is succeeding.

watch out, firenze!
8:00 - we're back.
a bit after shitting on jennifer anniston's boring dress or whatever, they interview her. she's pretty damn funny. she has an olde-timey newscaster voice that's pretty great.
she doesn't party.
they don't like action, and hob-knobbing.
8:02 - from anniston we move to garner, whose dress has a weird feathery back thing going on that we didn't realize earlier, still cool, but with a side of "wha?"
looks like a comfortable seat.
particularly for an event of this length.
bad joke.
drink.
8:03 - halle berry looks damn spiffy in a black and silver stripey affair.
8:04 - kristen chenoweth interviews adele. i'm usually pretty good with british accents, but i got no bloody clue whats going on here. it's pretty charming, really.
kristen chenoweth takes off her shoes and we learn she's an elf.
8:05 - george clooney has a crazy beard, and stacy kiebler is still with him? and looks great in some silver, deco looking thing? her hair is crazy good, and she's so tall.
hey, interview lady. don't adjust your hair with the hand you hold the mic with.
8:07 - woooow, the sound sucks during this part, crazy bad delay and echo, plus, there's a missed voice over by chenoweth, but hey, sandra bullock looks nice in a dark sparkly floor length number.
8:08 - commercial. drink
8:12 - back! this wee chenoweth lady is interviewingcatwoman anne hathaway. they have a cute moment comparing dresses to moments.

anne guesses dorothy's slippers.

she looks beautiful. sleek, fancy, classy, nice.
8:25 - oh, shishi - they're running the credits. the oscars are almost here.
drink up.
8:30 - so, here we go. as a point of contention, fuck seth mcfarlane. seriously. fuck this racist, sexist asshole of a douchebag ablist, homophobic prick. i cannot be asked to give a fuck what he does or says. but he did make tommy lee jones laugh. what a shock. he opened with a meme.
he can't really ride a laugh, can he. never been live?
oh, hey. this sound suuucks.
8:34 - oh, a rihanna joke? smooth, eh? do i really have to watch this after the walking dead?
...william shatner is interrupting the oscars as captain kirk?

even he knows this sucks?
wow.

10:12 - holograms? great.
drink
10:17 - oh, whoa - zero dark thirty wins for sound editing - or wait - skyfall did? a TIE? A TIE IN THE OSCARS? MY LIFE IS A LIE!!!

12:01 - Kristin Chenoweth is back to tell us all about a fancy gold dress and people that didn't win with help from this asshole who's here "hosting". Hey, random idea.

12:02 - that's it for us, folks. thanks for coming by.
