The day is finally here! The Oscars have finally arrived after months of awards season. I'm ready to find out who's going to win these awards. Here we go!
-Red carpet stuff right now. Not too much going on. We're half an hour away from the show.
-Really idiotic skit with Jimmy Kimmel. Don't know what they were thinking with that one.
-Wonder if they'll ask Will Smith about the Razzies. Jaden and Will Smith both won (or lost) Razzies last night.
-About twelve minutes until the start of the show. I've heard that the first award that will be presented is Best Supporting Actress. I have JLaw, but Nyong'o is the favorite. We shall see.
-Love these commercials for the new ABC show Resurrection. "Everyone on Twitter agrees....." Hilarious.
-My upset watches for the night:
-Barkhad Abdi over Jared Leto
-Amy Adams over Cate Blanchett
-Leonardo DiCaprio over Matthew McConaughey
-Not that any of these will actually happen, but I'm looking for those upsets.
-The Red Carpet pre-show has ended and the show is about to begin. I'm so excited.
-The OSCARS have begun! Love the Hooray for Hollywood intro!
-Ellen comes out with her opening monologue. Let's see how this goes.
-Jokes are coming fast now and this monologue is picking up steam.
-Is is Best Supporting Actor or Best Supporting Actress? We shall find out.
-And it's Best Supporting Actor, one of the most predictable awards of the night.
-And the Oscar goes to Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club.
-Leto is truly deserving of this award. He's the standout in Dallas Buyers Club.
-Ellen is really on a roll now. Love Carrey's blue suit.
-Looks like the Academy is getting all of the predictable awards out of the way now. Best Animated Feature is up now.
-Never mind. It's some part of the Hero Celebration that the academy is doing this year.
-Kerry Washington is our next presenter and she is now introducing Pharrell.
-"Happy" has actually grown on me.
-Good performance from Pharrell but this show is moving really slow.
-Next up is Costume Design. I've got American Hustle. Could be wrong.
-And it's Catherine Martin for The Great Gatsby. Way to give an award to a crappy film.
-Now we're jumping right into Makeup and Hairstyling. Good, let's get this thing going.
-I'm two for three so far. Only got American Hustle wrong. Very disappointed in the choice of The Great Gatsby there.
-Why is Harrison Ford introducing three movies? And why do they do this anyways?
-It has been a half hour and there have been three awards handed out. This thing is moving very slow.
-No surprises so far. Let's hope that this night gets more interesting.
-Ellen is doing a fantastic job hosting so far. Really digging this show.
-Really hoping for Get A Horse! here.
-And the Oscar goes to Mr. Hublot. First real surprise of the night here.
-Frozen is going to win this category. Would be shocked if anything else won.
-And the Oscar goes to Frozen! Little shock there. Very happy though.
-And the next category is not even a category. It's another one of these hero things.
-Actually liked that whole hero montage. Emma Watson and JGL are up to present now.
-Once again, we have a category where we know that outcome: Gravity will win Visual Effects.
-And Gravity wins its first award of the night. Best Visual Effects goes to Gravity.
-Zac Efron is now introducing something. But it isn't a category.
-Poor Efron butchered that intro. Karen O is now performing.
-Sorry for the slight delay. 20 Feet From Stardom just won Best Documentary Feature.
-Wow. The show is moving a little faster now, but it's still a slow show. Kevin Spacey is on stage now.
-The Honorary Oscars are being handed out now. Apparently, they already handed out these awards, but they announce them anyways. That doesn't make much sense.
-Good, concise montage. Congrats to the winners.
-Spacey decided to stay in character as Francis Underwood and present the awards. Genius.
-Ewan McGregor and Viola Davis are here to present.
-Best Foreign Language Film is up next. This is a toss up, but I have The Great Beauty.
-And The Movie Guru prevails again! The Great Beauty wins Best Foreign Language Film.
-Tyler Perry presents the next three Best Picture contenders: Her, Nebraska and Gravity.
-Brad Pitt is now on stage introducing U2. Like the hair. I assume that's for Fury, but who knows.
-If the Oscars just presented the awards, I can't even imagine how much shorter the show would be.
-An hour and a half in and I'm still waiting on the supporting actress award. Very interested to see how that turns out.
-"An Open Letter to the Armpit" is a great way to start a commercial. Nice job, Dove.
-And we're back. We're getting near the big awards now. I hope.
-Now we have Michael B. Jordan and Kristen Bell presenting.....nothing. Great. Let's see if Ellen's photo gets the most retweets ever.
-Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth are now presenting the sound categories. These are always very tough.
-Gravity wins Best Sound Mixing, its second Oscar of the night.
-Gravity wins Best Sound Editing as well, its third Oscar of the night.
-Best Supporting Actress is up next. Can't wait. Let's see if JLaw can win. I've got my money on her.
-And the Oscar goes to....Lupita Nyong'o for 12 Years A Slave. Good performance. Not terribly surprised. But a little disappointed.
-And this also means that my pick of American Hustle is not going to happen. There's a real chance that Hustle goes 0/10 tonight.
-Hearing "Pure Imagination" puts a smile to my face.
-I'm putting my money on 12 Years A Slave at this point. It seems to have all of the momentum.
-And now Ellen is passing out pizza. This is quite entertaining.
-Cheryl Boone Isaacs is now on stage. She's the president of the academy. This is the time when everyone leaves to go to the bathroom.
-Not even kidding.
-"This is a state of the art motion picture destination that is set to open by the end of 2017."
-Wow. I have to wait until 2017 to see that. Great.
-Cinematography is next and that means another award for Gravity.
-And the Oscar goes to....Emmanuel Lubezki for Gravity.
-It's film editing now and the Oscar goes to Gravity. This is quite incredible. Gravity could go on a clean sweep here if Bullock can pull off a shocking upset.
-Pink is performing now? She's not even nominated for anything! I love the Wizard of Oz but this is corny.
-This actually is going pretty well. Liking this performance. I would like it even more if the show wasn't so long.
-Beautiful tribute to The Wizard of Oz. Really enjoyed it.
-Loved that Godzilla Snickers commercial. That was fantastic.
-And now, Ellen is dressed up as Glinda. Hoping that these next categories are screenplay related.
-Nope. Best Production Design is the next category. Visual effects driven The Great Gatsby is going to take this one.
-Catherine Martin wins her second Oscar of the night for The Great Gatsby. Groan.
-And now Chris Evans is going to do the hero thing again. Enjoyable, but too drawn out.
-Love seeing Casablanca in the hero montage! I don't love seeing Jaden Smith as The Karate Kid.
-Another good montage. I really liked the theme of the show. It's running pretty long though. They're going to have to sped it up fast.
-That was the best Pepsi commercial I've ever seen.
-Will American Hustle get shut out? Or will it take Best Original Screenplay?
-Looks like Glenn Close is on stage for the In Memoriam section.
-We lost a lot of people this year. RIP to Roger Ebert, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Harold Ramis, Paul Walker, James Gandolfini and so many others.
-And we have probably gone thirty minutes without an award being presented. This is pretty sad.
-Best Original Song is next, but first, we must listen to "Let it Go" again. Great.
-Great song, but it's overplayed at this point. Menzel really can sing.
-Who's ready to give "Let It Go" the Oscar?
-Best Original Song and Best Original Score are pretty obvious categories. Score is slightly closer than Song. But I've still got Gravity. Would like to see Philomena win.
-And.....Gravity takes the Oscar again. If Bullock manages to pull off an upset, a clean sweep could happen.
-Gravity wins its sixth Oscar of the night. Frozen will very soon win its second.
-Frozen wins the Oscar. And the Lopez' give the single best speech of the night.
-The big awards are up next and there hasn't been a single surprise. This is wonderful.
-Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay are interesting categories. I'm feeling a win for Spike Jonze in the original category.
-Ellen is actually doing a good job hosting this thing.
-Love the typewriters in the background. That's quite the interesting set.
-I've got 12 Years A Slave winning its second Oscar of the night for adapted screenplay. We'll see.
-And Ridley wins the Oscar for 12 Years A Slave!
-If Hustle loses here, there's a zero percent chance that the film wins Best Picture.
-And the Oscar goes to......Spike Jonze for Her. Hustle is now out of the Best Picture race completely and will probably go 0 for 10 for the evening.
-With four awards left, there are practically no surprises left.
-Sidney Poitier and Angelina Jolie are now here to present an award.
-And the award is Best Director. I've got Cuaron here. I don't think that there will be any surprises on this one.
-Cuaron wins the Oscar for Best Director, his first Oscar and the seventh of the night for Gravity.
-Cuaron is such a charismatic guy. He's a lot of fun to watch.
-Wow, it is pretty amazing how long this film took to make. Will it win Best Picture as well? We shall see.
-ANOTHER COMMERCIAL BREAK!
-And the Oscar goes to Cate Blanchett! Oh wait, they didn't announce it yet. Never mind.
-Did anyone notice that there was virtually no applause for Sandra Bullock?
-And there was very little applause for Judi Dench as well.
-Cate Blanchett wins the Oscar for Best Actress for Blue Jasmine.
-So that means no clean sweep for Gravity. Too bad. It still could win Best Picture.
-Alright, this speech is going on way too long. Wrap it up.
-Jennifer Lawarence will now be presenting Best Actor to either Matthew McConaughey or Leonardo DiCaprio or Chiwetel Ejiofor.
-DiCaprio is going to get his Oscar. I feel it. I could be wrong, but I feel it.
-And I was wrong. McConaughey wins for Dallas Buyers Club. Best Picture is up next and it is either going to be 12 Years A Slave or Gravity.
-Even though I didn't love McConaughey's performance, he is probably the most awesome person in the world. Well deserved win.
-"Alright, alright, alright!"
-This has been an incredibly predictable Oscars. Kind of disappointed.
-Finally, Best Picture is here!
-Will Smith is presenting for Best Picture? No Jack Nicholson this year?
-And Best Picture goes to 12 Years A Slave!
-This is Josh Martin signing off the live blog! Thanks for tuning in! See you soon.
-Red carpet stuff right now. Not too much going on. We're half an hour away from the show.
