[6:02:58 PM] Laremy says: Next up, Life of Pi will be winning some awards.
[6:03:17 PM] Brad says: I guess they are just previewing the three nominees as Best Picture nominees.
[6:04:22 PM] Laremy says: Should be two in a row with Cinematography and Visual Effects for Ang Lee’s little adaptation that could.
[6:04:50 PM] Brad says: Quvenzhane is showing us her guns. Cute little kid and now she’s getting an ovation as the youngest Best Actress nominee ever.
[6:05:47 PM] Brad says: “The Avengers was the most popular film of the year, which is why it was only nominated once.” MacFarlane
[6:06:02 PM] Laremy says: Why was Scar-Jo not included in this Avengers presentation? Too much of a lady?
[6:06:16 PM] Brad says: Now the members of The Avengers will announce Best Cinematography.
[6:06:56 PM] Laremy says: Sam Jackson’s suit is amazing. I want.
[6:07:26 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Cinematography is
[6:08:13 PM] Brad says: Claudio looks a little like Gandalf, but I won’t say that because it’s not appropriate.
[6:08:47 PM] Laremy says: This is the definition of a rambling acceptance speech.
[6:09:40 PM] Brad says: Now they’re going to do the Best Visual Effects Oscar and they seem to be making fun of the protest that’s going on outside the theatre.
[6:10:13 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Visual Effects is
[6:10:29 PM] Laremy says: Is Life of Pi gaining momentum towards a Best Picture win?!! Nah, I’m just screwing with you.
[6:11:40 PM] Laremy says: We’re 4-1, but only 50 percent on the non-chalk ones.
[6:12:07 PM] Brad says: The Jaws theme is playing the Visual Effects winners off the stage.
[6:12:12 PM] Laremy says: That was awesome.
[6:12:42 PM] Brad says: Wow, and turned the volume up, up, up, up. Get your politics out of our Oscars! Politics are for the campaign!
[6:13:05 PM] Laremy says: They should all be played off with either that or “The Imperial March”.
[6:14:07 PM] Brad says: Next awards up include Costume, Makeup then Short Film (Live Action)… Commercials for now.
[6:16:32 PM] Brad says: Next presenters are Channing Tatum and Jennifer Aniston, their duties begin with Best Costume.
[6:17:03 PM] Laremy says: Costume Design is one the Brad/Laremy splits. I need Les Miserables.
[6:17:11 PM] Brad says: Before the award we’re talking waxing.
[6:18:00 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Costume Design is
[6:18:41 PM] Laremy says: Ugh. Puffy dresses win once again.
[6:18:48 PM] Brad says: Laremy is mad he missed that one. I told him it’s okay, but just remember the importance of puffy dresses in this category for next year.
[6:19:55 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Makeup & Hairstyling is
[6:20:25 PM] Brad says: Now he’s smiling again.
[6:21:04 PM] Laremy says: Gooooooaaaal! The Hobbit winning there would have upset me. Everything they did was done in The LOTR franchise. Plus, did you hear, Anne Hathaway cut her hair!
[6:22:12 PM] Brad says: You can take a break from refreshing for a bit, Halle Berry is coming out to introduce the 50 Years of James Bond segment. Get a drink, watch the montage, just relax.
[6:22:35 PM] Laremy says: Musical tribute time means break time. Union rules.
[6:25:43 PM] Brad says: Shirley Bassey is out to perform “Goldfinger” and there is no way this doesn’t end with Adele’s “Skyfall”
[6:28:06 PM] Brad says: A standing ovation and no Adele, commercials for now.
[6:31:28 PM] Brad says: Why would you do a Bond tribute, have a Bond song nominated and not perform the nominated Bond song during the Bond tribute? Am I crazy with this?
[6:32:44 PM] Brad says: Kerry Washington and Jamie Foxx are the next presenters and they will present Short Film (Live Action).
[6:33:33 PM] Laremy says: Looking for Curfew here.
[6:33:43 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Short Film (Live Action) is
[6:34:14 PM] Brad says: That had to win, it was really the only truly good film of the nominees. Henry especially was intolerable.
[6:34:57 PM] Laremy says: For a short film, this is a long acceptance speech.
[6:35:20 PM] Brad says: Now for Best Documentary (Short Subject)
[6:35:45 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Documentary (Short) is
[6:37:09 PM] Laremy says: I didn’t see Innocente. Any good?
[6:37:10 PM] Brad says: Tough one to predict when you didn’t see them. I went with the wind and it took me to Innocente. I’d like to thank Laremy for predicting Open Heart for now allowing me a two point lead in the prediction game. And thanks to you dear reader…
[6:37:43 PM] Laremy says: Yeah, I’m 6-3 and on life support.
[6:38:29 PM] Laremy says: Liam Neesons!
[6:38:45 PM] Brad says: Liam Neeson now gets to present another Best Picture montage, including Argo, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty. Interesting, isn’t it, he was originally going to star in Lincoln.
[6:40:39 PM] Laremy says: You guys remember when Lincoln was the Best Picture favorite? That was a nice month.
[6:41:00 PM] Brad says: Just seeing the Zero Dark Thirty clips again reminds me of how great it is.
[6:41:05 PM] Laremy says: You guys remember when Zero Dark Thirty got sabotaged? That was a fun weekend.
[6:42:51 PM] Brad says: The jokes in the middle of the show seem a bit out of place.
[6:43:13 PM] Brad says: Ben Affleck takes the stage to present Best Documentary.
[6:43:38 PM] Brad says: And Affleck takes a stab at MacFarlane, brief, but I don’t think he was joking.
[6:43:57 PM] Laremy says: This is going to be my favorite documentary of the year, Searching for Sugar Man. I picked against it just to win either way. #psyops
[6:44:20 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Documentary is
[6:45:10 PM] Brad says: Pretty chalky ceremony so far. Only the Supporting Actor category is likely causing any divides at this point, but there are a lot of awards to come.
[6:45:45 PM] Laremy says: Happy for Searching for Sugar Man, although The Gatekeepers was also very well done.
[6:46:05 PM] Laremy says: Amour is the next sure thing.
[6:46:28 PM] Laremy says: Brad is a quality 9 of 10. He’s very giddy about it too.
[6:46:29 PM] Brad says: Foreign Language Film is next, which means Amour is about to win.
[6:50:15 PM] Brad says: Jennifer Garner and Jessica Chastain have earned the right to present for Best Foreign Language. I wonder how they come up with these teamings and how they decide who will present what award.
[6:50:56 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Foreign Film is
[6:51:38 PM] Laremy says: This guy is zanking people left and right.
[6:52:56 PM] Brad says: The orchestra is getting a shout out and it turns out the orchestra isn’t even in the theatre. That’s crazy.
[6:53:19 PM] Laremy says: Only at The Oscars would they thank a satellite orchestra.
[6:53:54 PM] Brad says: John Travolta will now give us a “big treat”. It’s gonna be the musical tribute and I bet it will be long. Bathroom break, get a drink, have some food or just stretch your legs.
[6:54:08 PM] Laremy says: Travolta is listing so many names. So MANY.
[6:54:34 PM] Brad says: Oh yeah, that’s why Zellweger is here.
[6:56:25 PM] Laremy says: Why do this live if you’re going to lip synch? Just montage us to jail and be done with it.
[6:58:52 PM] Laremy says: Jennifer Hudson is singing for reals. Thatta girl.
[6:59:32 PM] Brad says: I will say, it seems a little odd to pay tribute to movies that aren’t actually old. I understand getting the Chicago, Dreamgirls and Les Mis peeps together, but how about an actual tribute to musicals?
[7:00:02 PM] Brad says: And now that we’ve hit the 7 o’clock hour we are going to do a page break. Join us on yet another page.
