JR - (If you don't have a google account, it literally takes two minutes to get one. So sign up and login to post comments throughout the night.)
It has begun.
The blog, not the Oscars. I have just settled down to watch the remainder of the red carpet arrivals and after five minutes, I'm already tired of Ryan Secrest. Did he really need to ask Jessica Alba about breastfeeding? And then he asked Marion Cotillard to do an American accent, after he repeated something she said in a mocking French accent? He should have just told her to be more American. Geez.
Cameron Diaz's dress doesn't fit her very well. She's not fat by any means, but her dress was too tight along the top making her look like she has fat along her back and her chest.
That's the first update for now! Jeff has just left to pick up some wings, since this is my Superbowl. He'll be back soon to help with the commentary. TonyD will be weighing in throughout the night. You won't want to miss it!
Oh, Amy Adams and Anne Hathaway look gorgeous. And Miley Cyrus looks like she's had some kind of work done to her face. Botox or something? I don't know. She doesn't look the same anymore.
TD - Hey Jenny!
I haven't been watching the red carpet. Something tells me I'd be getting mad. I was watching Reelz Channel though and saw their coverage on the films.
TD - I just caught Diaz. Agree with Jenny. I also caught Cyrus. Agree with Jenny also.
Jenny - I've decided that when I post, I'll do it in bold so we can tell the difference easily between Tony's posts and mine and Jeff's.
TD - Hey Jenny, Blogger's going bitchy, so bold won't change for me. We'll probably be keeping this bold (but that's okay. Bold doesn't really show up on blogger when your writing is white)
Jenny - Blogger is bitchy. I posted these comments a few minutes ago:
Jeff - *makes horse sounds* (directed at Hillary Swank)
Jenny - Yay! The "How Does She Know" people! I just found out today that Kristin Chenoweth is performing that song instead of Amy Adams. I heart Kristin Chenoweth.
Jenny - As cheesy as that opening was, I liked it.
Tony - I liked it also. I really don't know about Chenoweth, but I love Adams, so I'm interested in listening to Chenoweth's version
Jenny - Dude. Kristin Chenoweth rules. "Wicked" is worth listening to.
Tony - Did Stewart say 4 to 5 hours?!?! CHRIST!
Jenny - Yep. We're in this for the long haul.
Jenny - Diabolo Cody took a paycut to become a screenwriter?!! Hahaha! Jon Stewart rules.
Tony - He's cracking political jokes now. It has now become The Daily Show, folks. Diablo Cody is wearing one million dollar shoes I heard. Also heard she danced for them.
Jenny - Titler? He's hysterical. He owned that monologue.
Tony - I know ATU won't win, but I'm rooting the hell out of it.
Jenny - I KNEW Elizabeth would win! I've got one right.
Tony - Hey Jenny. Do you have a link to that Oscar Pool that you, I, and Dr. Royce and Molly are in?
Jenny - Yeah, just go to oscar.com and click on Play, then click on Predict the Winners and sign in!
Tony - Thanks! Christ look at Clooney's hair. Looks like he killed a hair-gel bottle.
Jenny - I love watching these old clips as much as everyone else, but do they HAVE to play "My Heart will go On"?
Tony - While they do that, I eat my Chinese food and I no longer care about the Oscars
Jenny - I am SO looking forward to "Get Smart".
Jeff - They showed a clip at WonderCon this weekend. ...Did Steve Carell just say shit??
Tony - Ratatouille's win surprised me just as much as it surprised everyone else. Especially when "Surf's Up"'s nomination is complete bullshit, so the only real competition Ratatouille had was Persepolis
Tony - Now if Norbit wins, I'm not watching this anymore.
Jenny - YEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "La Vie En Rose" won for Makeup! I'm three for three. God, I love that movie. I need to buy it already.
Tony - I still think Amy Adams should look into singing instead of acting.
Jeff - From the torso up, she looks like Amy Adams. Her arms, she looks like Helen Mirren.
Jenny - It must be cold in there. They're blue, poor thing. Why is she out there by herself? They just showed the entire cast of the performance of the other song from Enchanted, and Kristin Chenoweth is a pro. Not to say Amy Adams isn't, but it's different. That wasn't fair to her.
Tony - I always wondered what they did during commercials too.
Jenny - This is the first one I've gotten wrong. I voted for Pirates for Visual Effects.
Tony - I voted for Transformers. I wanted ATU to be nominated for Art Direction.
Jenny - I voted for this one too! I'm so glad Sweeney is going home with an Oscar. ...I didn't know Cate Blanchett was preggers. She's cute. I love her dress.
Tony - Cate Blanchett also played Simon Pegg's girlfriend in "Hot Fuzz."
Jenny - What? Really? I knew there were a ton of cameos in that movie, but I missed that one.
Tony - Before he leaves for Stanford, he tells her he's leaving when she's looking through an apartment complex (she was a forensic scientist or something, so she had a mask over her face so she wouldn't be recognizable). She wasn't credited either. GO JAVIER BARDEM!!!
Tony - Hey Jenny, how are you doing with the Oscar pool?
Jenny - Bardem was a shoe in, but I'm glad he won. He ruled in NCFOM. I'm tied for first place with Molly!
Jenny - What the FUCK is this montage about binoculars and periscopes?? See, this is why the show goes for five hours.
Tony - This song's better than what I remember it being. Is Hansard and Irgatov performing Falling Slowly?
Tony - You know I'd LOVE to make a joke about Owen Wilson right now, but I won't
Jenny - Yes, Hansard and Irgatov are performing. I voted for that song, "Falling Slowly". And c'mon, you know you want to make an Owen Wilson joke. Jeff did.
Jeff - What's up, wristcutter! What happened to his nose? It looks like a penis.
Jenny - It's always looked like that.
Tony - LMFAOOO. It's funny, I voted for that Mozart film, but then switched it with another one last minute.
Tony - In my opinion, Supporting Actress is the toughest category this year. I still don't know who will win it yet.
Jenny - I don't know what's happening to my comments...anyway. I didn't see Tilda Swinton coming at all. Did anyone else pick her? I picked Blanchett.
Tony - It's Blogger most likely. I didn't see Tilda Swinton either, but I was going for Amy Ryan. Guess it was a split between her and Cate Blanchett, so they went with the next best choice.
Jenny - Yeah, that's a good point. I hadn't thought about that.
Tony - Glad to see NCFOM win again, especially to see the Coens to win another Oscar for best screenplay.
Tony - I added this on Digg. Can everyone please Digg it as soon as possible? THANKS! http://www.digg.com/movies/LIVE_OSCAR_BLOG_AT_FILMARCADE_NET
Jenny - Just dugg it!
Jenny - I love everything about this song. Kristin Chenoweth, the dancers, the set, everything. I might be wrong about which song will win.
Jenny - Can I retract that previous statement partially? As much as I love Kristin, Amy Adams sings that song better.
Tony - Fucking Blogger didn't post my comment. Anyway, I agreed with your second statement. I think she could do better in "Happy Working Song". Sounded like "Kiss the Girl" a little bit too much
Jenny - Previous Oscar winners Dame Judi Dench and the girl who wishes she could wipe Judi Dench's ass, Halle Berry! ...and then Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill. LMAO! This is great!
Tony - I voted for Transformers in both. Goddamnit. How are you doing in the pool?
Jenny - Jeff really wanted Transformers to win something. He loved that movie. I'm tied for first win Molly and Dr. Clemens.
Jenny - GOOOOOO MARION COTILLARD!!
Tony - Wow, they're nominating Best Actress early this year.
Jenny - I fucking love Marion Cotillard. I'm so happy she won. I yelled a little too loud and a little too high...and the windows are open.
Tony - I rented it three times - watched it zero. Renting it tomorrow a fourth time.
Jenny - It's long and it can seem a bit drawn out at times, but it's a wonderful movie. I loved it. I thought it was extremely moving.
Jenny - Colin Ferrell just said that "once" was the little movie that could. Amen to that. I heard someone say earlier that "Juno" was the little movie that could. Bullshit. It was the factory produced indie film that was pushed to the front. "Once" was not. If there were a movie this year that is the little movie that could, "Once" is that movie.
I love this song. It's my vote to win. It's hauntingly beautiful.
Tony - That was beautiful. Once is amazing
Jenny - I loved that Best Picture montage. ON anothere note, Renee Zellweger's dress is fantastic!
Tony - I know I haven't been updating much in the past fifteen minutes but look at Kidman towering over that guy.
Jenny - She looks beautiful, but she is freakishly tall.
Jenny - This Robert Boyle...I hate to be the one making fun of an old guy, but he just said that "They support me with their love and support". And he drolled on and on. Ugh. That's where the orchestra should have cut him off with the exit music.
Tony - LOL. Yeah, I pretty much ignored him. I'm just waiting for Best Picture now - LOL. Here's to hoping that Ms. I-Sell-My-Body-For-People-To-Read-My-Blog losing that award to Gilroy.
Jenny - There's no way this "So Close" song will win. The guy singing looks like he's straining.
Tony - Of course he was going to dance out on the stage - hahahaha.
Jenny - Hoo-fucking-ray!! I'm so happy this song won! I don't care if the movie is boring, that song is amazing.
Tony - I don't think it was boring. Think it was fantastic.
Tony - But it's Hollywood... that was classic haha!
Jenny - The first of a few awards for "There Will Be Blood" hopefully.
Tony - Jerry says DRAINAGE!, so let's all join in - DRAINAGE!
Jenny - DRAINAGE!
Jenny - We lost so many good people this year. I'm still reeling from Heath Ledger...Wait, did they include Brad Renfro?
Tony - They didn't include Roy Schneider either. I don't know if his death came too late as they were making this montage, but I don't think it was.
Tony - Because I'm too busy updating this every two minutes, I haven't told my opinion of There Will Be Blood or Atonement yet. I LOVED Blood, but I didn't like Atonement. Sorry, but I just didn't like it. The twist was terrible and by then I just didn't care how it ended. Anyway, the one thing it saved itself from was its score.
Jenny - My comment disappeared again. Anyway, I was wrong about the documentary short, but it was a toss up for me. I haven't seen any of them and as cute as the winners were, crying their little hearts out, I'll probably never see any of them.
Tony - Four more awards to give out and it'll take them an hour to give them out.
Jenny - Yep. Happens every year.
Tony - WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenny - What? You want fucking barbeque? Anyway, this will just encourage Diabolo Cody when what she needs is a slap on the wrist. No, Diabolo, no! Bad pop culture reference!
Tony - Hearing Mirren say "cajones" makes me laugh.
Tony - DRAINAGE! I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!
Jenny - Much deserved. "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"
Jenny - Agh!! I got this one wrong!! Congrats to the Coen brothers. This was a hard one to pick.
Tony - Big moment...
Tony - Well deserved. No Country for Old Men is the best film of 2007.
Jenny - I didn't pick No Country, I picked Atonement. For me, it was between Atonement and There Will Be Blood, so I would have been wrong either way. LOL Oh well. All of them are good films. This was a great year for film all around.
Tony - Okay guys well the Live Blog is over. Thanks every one for joining in on the discussion - Randy, Jerry, Anthony, Jeremy, and Tripp. Thanks Jenny and Jeff for joining the Live Blog with me because if it was just me I would have sounded like a douchebag. See you all next year!
Jenny - Thanks everyone! Thanks to Tony for hosting it! See you next year!
Who let Gary Busey out of his cage?
Jeff - VH1 for the latest season of Celebrity Rehab. The Lost Cause edition.
Hopefully this will be a big night for NO Country For Old Men
Is this where we will be posting during the show?
Absolutely!
Cool.
Sounds good to me
Regis is going backstage.
I hope they are insured.
I know, I wish they start the show already
What if Regis trips?
Jenny - Regis just said Xavier Bardem. LMAO!
I would have liked to have seen Jack throw Regis a punch!!
That would be cool
THIRTEENTH!
dammit FOURTEENTH
that was neat!!
The opening montage thingy? I dug it.
Oscar time.
The opening was alright, nothing special.
I didn't like the opening... I think his monolouge is funny though.
tommy lee jones is not laughing
he is funny
His monologue is really funny!
Norbit-- that was classic
he is on a roll.
Jeff - NOW Tommy Lee Jones is laughing.
Tommy Lee Jones... is he faking a laugh?
GAYDOLPH TITLER!!! Lmao.
I am voting for Ralph Nadar by the way lol.
His opening was really funny.
John Stewert's is opening was funny
I agree with that...
I liked her work in "Elizabeth..."
Jerry, you sound excited about Burns winning. Hahahaha!
Randy,
LOL!!
that will probably be me if Javier Bardem doesn't win Best Supporting Actor
The Elizabeth costumes were left over from the first film.
The Elizabeth costumes were left over from the first??? Really?? Then shouldn't it be disqualified like the score for There Will Be Blood?
Bardem SHOULD win... he has my vote.
Get Clooney off the stage.
Were they really, Jerry? Then you make a good point Jenny. They should have been ineligible.
that was really nice
YEAH!!!!
YAY For BRAD BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!
I was being a smart ass about Elizabeth
Rataouille, no major surprise. It's a very good film and very deserving of this award.
Oh, well then. :) The Oscar was deserved for Elizabeth. Man, you had us GOING, Jerry! LOL
I'm glad Ratatouille won. It was obviously going to win, but still.
To Jerry: Lmfao. That was funny.
2)Hahaha! Dreamers voting for a rat who dreams. Lol.
3) Heigl looks good.
4) IF Norbit wins I'm giving up all hope on No Country for Old Men for Best Picture
cool for edith piaf
Get Smart looks very interesting. Saw the trailer for the film before Michael Clayton.
You had me convinced Jerry lol. It's hard to detect sarchasm through the computer.
Now how do I know when to believe you? lol
I literally cheered loudly and applauded when "La Vie En Rose" won for Makeup. Jeff said that I look like the Packers just scored a touchdown. LOL
Thankfully, Norbit didn't win
This song is WAY too cheesy for me... I think my cheeks hurt...
Amen, Anthony.. Lol
Who is this singing? Does anyone know? (No smart ass answers Jerry)
She isn't too good.
Hey guys ... good stuff so far
Amy Adams was in Enchanted. She played Esabelle. or however you spell it.
Amen tripp. Supporting Actor coming up... I sware fucking Bardem better win or I'm gonna have the reaction that Jerry did when Burns won for costuming.
I will try to be on best behavior.
Was that Amy Adams?
Hi Tripp
Hahaha Jerry.
Yes
Amy Adams played Giselle, the princess in "Enchanted". That's kind of the point of the song, it's supposed to be cheesy.
Jeff - Why was that song nominated and not "You've got the Touch" from the Transformers animated movie?
Regardless of how much she needed to be a big cheese, Adams still annoyed the hell outta me.
Thanks for the info. Jenny.
if they can me-- i am in deep shit
Where did I get esabelle from?
Oh, and hi Tripp!
That's what I'm here for. :)
Hi Tripp!
see me that is
Actually he's not that bad of an actor. Now Hulk Hogan I agree with you
wow-- that is a surprise-- but the film did have cool fx-- but that caught me offguard.
I like the Rock, too.
I didn't see that one coming, for The Golden Compass. I picked Pirates.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Sweeney wins!
LMAO! Cate was the pitbull. John Stewart is great.
Come on Bardem...
same here
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best performance of 2007 is recognized
Now that was a great speech.
Some of my hope was just restored.
=D
Yay! He totally deserved it. And now randy's shit can resume its normal behavior. ;-)
I meant that Randy.
He thanked the rest of the cast.
Class act.
Bardem performance in No Country for Old Men will be noticed for years to come
Im staying FAR away from the comments for now on.
Jerry, I agree with you 100%... I was just busting your chops. That was honorable to thank the cast. That was amazing....
Jenny, LMFAO!!! That was funny as anything. Yes, I felt it harden up a bit.
I love this song. It's not going to win, but I love this song.
These guys can sing!
I thought this was a wonderful film.
damn that girl was 11??? She was amazing.
OWEN WILSON!!! IS this his 1st appearence since he tried to kill himself? I heard he has a film coming out...
I need to make some short films with some friends.
I wonder how long Wilson had to practice those names to pronounce them right...
I would have fucked up every last one!
Jerry-- I'll be in it. lol.
Bee Movie was such SHIT. I don't want to talk about it.
Why are they showing this? It is giving me gas.
Very cool.
We are interviewing them on WED!!
Why didn't the bee hand then their statue? lol
Cool Jerry.
looks like Jamey is going to get his wish on Wednesday night
I'm going with the underdog: Marion Cotillard
It's a shot. So far I'm 1 for 1.
Why is Cotillard the underdog? I think Ellen Page is the underdog. IMO, she has no chance of winning tonight.
...now watch her win tonight.
Supporting actress. Not Best Actress.
Sorry wrong catagorie. I meant Saoirse Ronan
I'm happy about that!!!
Tilda Swinton? I didn't see that coming.
Wow, a major shock but she's very deserving of it
I didn't think Michale Clayton would win any awards tonight.
THat's very cool
I didn't either.
Whoops... 1 for 2.
Very deserving though.
I didn't see that one coming...
Hi Rub!!
The Rub!! What's up, guys? Thanks for joining us!
Hello kids. How is everyone tonight?
Hi Rub!!! How ya doin?
Jump right into the chat, feel free.
Leave the gun, take the canoli.
Good advice.
Hahaha!!! Nicholson looked PISSED.
Not surprised by that. Wicked script.
That is a sure thing. Very nice.
Beginning of a big night for the Coen Brothers
I'm so glad the Coen brothers won!!
Yeah Coens...
Hopefully we'll see more of them later.
That comment about Nicholson...classic!! He did look pissed.
http://www.digg.com/movies/LIVE_OSCAR_BLOG_AT_FILMARCADE_NET
Can every one please Digg this for more readers and people to come talk about it with? Thanks!!!
dugg
Hey everyone, TonyD just posted this on digg. If you can, will you digg it please?
http://digg.com/movies/LIVE_OSCAR_BLOG_AT_FILMARCADE_NET
Hey Jeremy!
Sure Tony!!
Can everyone digg please?

Thanks
Hannah Montana sounds like she's been smoking for 20 years.
And why is she there again...?
That's my girl, Kristin Chenoweth!!! Shhhh, everyone. LOL
God I love her.
Isn't it past Miley's bedtime? Lol
Yeah, why is Miley there?
Haha Rub... maybe Hannah Montana smokes!!! Hows that for ratings?
I hate to admit it, but...um...Amy Adams sings that song better than Kristin Chenoweth.
It hurts to say that.
Miley's there for good looks.
Hannah Montana-- when is she going to shave her head?
Haha Jerry...
Haha.
1)Shave her head.
2)Go to rehab.
3)Check out of Rehab.
4) Repeat 2 and 3 four times.
5) Lose kids.
6) Make a comeback album
Then her little sister can get pregnant.
The new Hannah Montana REVEALED!!!!
Angelina Jolie... that bit was funny.
Lmao.
I think there's a creepy Jessica/Joe Simpson thing going on with Miley and Billy Ray.
Any of them would have been good.
Haha Jenny... Anyone surprised about the Bourne Ultimatum?
I was a bit disapointed to say so myself.
I voted There Will Be Blood. Jeff really wanted Transformers to win something.
Will the Bourne U take 2 in a row???
I'm starting to be kinda done with Seth Rogen.
I'm very much all the way done with Jonah whats-his-face already.
I'm hoping for 3:10 To Yuma...
I can't complain.
I was hoping 3:10 to Yuma as well.
Haha Rub they're annoying as hell...
Did I call the back to back Bourne U or what???
No applause necessary.
I love the Bourne and every up in both of these categories.
Aw, the Rub. You're done already? I'd like to forget Superbad, but other than that, I still dig those two.
I like Rogen... I don't like whatshisface...
Lol
This is it everyone. My girl's about to win her Oscar.
GOOO Marion Cotillard!!
Marion Cotillard is my guess.
I think she has a shot.
Marion Cotillard is my guess.
I think she has a shot.
Very cool.
I JUST SCREAMED SO LOUD, THE NEIGHBORS ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it was Ellen Page I was going to be sick.
I never saw La vie en Rose but I heard excellent things.
Amen.
I'm not surprised, Still haven't seen it yet but have it at home. I've heard good things about her performance in that film
I just love her, period. I don't care what she's in. It was just exciting to see her nominated and finally getting exposure.
I rented La Vie En Rose three times. I watched it zero
haha
I really like sharing this with all of you.
And thank you to Tony for making a great site and team to belong on.
I really like this song. A lot.
Good song.
I agree Jerry. This is way cool.
TonyD, you're the man!
This is a ton of fun. I'm so glad everyone could be here.
I fucking love this song. It gets stuck in my head and I find myself singing it at work.
I really hoping that Falling Slowly from Once wins for Best original song. Great song, great movie.
I really need to watch this again.
This was a great song to do live.
Amen Jerry. Thanks Tony...
Guys I unfortunately have to now. I have work in the morning, and shouldn't be on the laptop much later.
It has been fun. I will be commenting back tomorrow about the rest of the show and my record and such.
Until then, see y'all!
Randyy
It's was in my head after watching the film for the first time.
Bye Randy! It's been fun!
Now I love that!!!
God, what a lot of great movies. (quite a few turds too though).
Good night Randy!!
Nice tribute. That was fun to see all the past winners.
Bye guys. =D
I loved that montage. Loved it.
I love Renee Zellweger's dress too.
They really love Bourne!!
Greengrass has a great team.
How many is that for Bourne now? I still haven't seen it.
This has been fun. Thanks guys! I think the site's been viewed about 900 times today. The most we ever gotten. It was probably all of us hitting refresh, but who cares?
900 times!!
That's great!!!
LOL I'm sure that's what it is. All of us hitting refresh all of the time. But you're right, who cares?
Yeah - who cares LOL. I was wrong - near 700, but we can make 900 by tonight with more refreshes haha.
Who cares, This is fun
A lot of fun!
Was anyone else bored by the Robert Boyle speech? I got up for a potty break and to start with the alcoholic beverages. And I think it's time for more wings!
REFRESH!!!!!!!!!!
THat was the favorite to win this one!!
mmmm... wings... I will be staying away from the beverages tonight. Rough night at the hockey game last night. But wings would hit the spot.
Jeff - The guy dancing with Amy Adams looks like Frankenstein's monster.
I too was bored by the speech. At least it was a good time to take my medication.
They were great!!
HOORAY!!! "Falling Slowly" won!! Bravo!!
The Once DUo that is
That was awesome!
Jeff - How much did Glen Hansard say they made "Once" for? Under a grand? A thousand grand?
Jenny - Yeah, I couldn't understand him either...
Falling slowlyis very well deserving for best original song.
Now this is cool of Jon.
THAT is very fucking cool to bring her back out there. Class!
Great speech too. Wow. That was awesome!!
HOT DAMN!!!!
DRAINAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
