The Pencil and Slumdog Millionaire are both Winners.
Another year gone, another Oscar ceremony over and done with. The Oscars are the only awards ceremony in which I promptly park my ass in the same seat for the 3 and a half hours or so, watching from end to end. I love The Oscars. I know there’s a lot of naysayers out there who’ll say… well.. you know what… I won’t talk about that in this blog post.
Okay. Let’s talk Oscars. This year was the first time I watched the Oscars with my Twitter buds and it was awesome. It was like watching the Oscars in a theater full of people (which I did last year) except this time they don’t know whether or not you’re wearing pants (don’t worry, I was). The tweets were updated automatically on the blog as the show went on. It was a fun experiment and I’m glad I got some friends to join me. I want to LIVE blog EVERYTHING now!
Hugh Jackman. Oh Hugh. You’re so good looking. As a Oscar host, however, you were okay. I mean, you were awesome in the musical numbers, but the Oscars was going to have musical numbers anyway. I mean, you’re Wolverine. You should’ve done a wrestling match with Mickey Rourke or something. The recession-proof opening act was clever and that Anne Hathaway…. that… Anne… Ha… Ha… Hathaway…. okay.. next point.
P.S. Your joke about the Oscars liking actors who explore range was awesome. Kate Winslet, an english woman playing a German nazi, Robert Downey Jr. is an American man playing an Australian man who’s playing an African-American man in Tropic thunder, and you’re role where you, an Australian, play an Australian in a movie called Australia. Thumbs up.
What else? Oh. Wait. The whole point in watching the Oscars this year, I believe, was to see if Heath Ledger would grab a posthumous award. Well, he did and it was all very emotional as his mom, dad, and sister were there to recieve their award. They mentioned how Heath would be humbled to have been accepted among his peers in an industry he loved so much. Very touching and a very deserving nod to a bright young actor who was taken away far too early.
Oh, and, Slumdog Millionaire just won everything else.
That’s it for the Oscar coverage. If you want more (a LOT more) just go read the live blogging report.

Oh yeah. As for my facial hair. The pencil took the prize. Now I gotta run around looking like this for a week:
Hopefully I don’t run into Chris Hansen, then we’ll have REAL problems.
Live Blogging The Oscars
Hello ladies and gentleman. It’s the the 81st annual Oscars tonight and I’ll be RIGHT here live blogging the whole thing. The Oscars start at 8, enough time for me to prepare my Oscar beer and get to blogging. So, let’s watch the Oscars together and watch all these rich people pat other rich people on the back from making other rich people look like they’re 7 years old.
I won’t be spewing Oscar picks cause, like a douch, I haven’t seen all the films nominated.
See you soon!
