[7:57:45 PM] Laremy says: It’s the final page! Who else is ready to start predicting the 2014 Academy Awards?
[8:05:03 PM] Brad says: Commercial break and Original Score and Song are up next.
[8:07:21 PM] Laremy says: These ABC ads are punishing.
[8:08:07 PM] Laremy says: Rex Reed joke!
[8:08:51 PM] Brad says: The Chicago crew (I’m not naming them all) will now present Score and Song. First up score.
[8:09:21 PM] Laremy says: I loved Richard Gere in Hachi.
[8:09:47 PM] Laremy says: This is going to be a big slice of Pi.
[8:10:48 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Original Score is
[8:11:30 PM] Brad says: Any doubt about “Skyfall” winning for Song?
[8:13:37 PM] Laremy says: The rest of this should be chalky. Only Original Screenplay still holds some intrigue, I might just end up at 18 yet.
[8:15:06 PM] Laremy says: So they are singing three out five Best Songs? Does that make any sense to anyone?
[8:16:21 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Original Song is
[8:16:46 PM] Brad says: First Bond song to ever win an Oscar.
[8:16:55 PM] Laremy says: For those wondering, they are actually about two minutes ahead of schedule. Kind of an upset.
[8:17:52 PM] Brad says: It only took the first Bond to cross $1 billion worldwide for it to win Best Song.
[8:18:16 PM] Laremy says: Adele now has an Oscar and a Grammy, and a Tony is extremely doable. Which leads to the inevitable question, who is going to get this lady an Emmy? We need a new EGOT!
[8:18:47 PM] Brad says: The Screenplay Oscars are up next, I’ve got Argo and Amour, but nervous about Lincoln and Django Unchained… rightly so eh?
[8:20:30 PM] Laremy says: Yes. Django is taking that baby.
[8:23:09 PM] Brad says: Dustin Hoffman and Charlize Theron are your next presenters… Is it Argo or Lincoln time?
[8:23:11 PM] Laremy says: Dustin Hoffman is running game on Charlize Theron.
[8:23:30 PM] Laremy says: If Argo doesn’t win here it could be sign.
[8:24:38 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Adapted Screenplay is
[8:25:40 PM] Laremy says: He might be riding the dragon.
[8:26:02 PM] Brad says: Now we move to Original… I love Django, will the screenplay take me down? I’m 16-19 on my predictions…. Keep the streak alive Haneke!
[8:26:22 PM] Laremy says: Here comes sad Brad when Django Unchained takes Original Screenplay.
[8:26:47 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Original Screenplay is
[8:27:49 PM] Laremy says: Looks like Brad will end up 20-4, I’ll get 18 out of 24. Not too shabby. Unless something goes haywire with Director or Best Actress …
[8:28:03 PM] Laremy says: I really love Quentin Tarantino.
[8:28:22 PM] Brad says: Tarantino played the orchestra. I’m done, no I’m not. Ha ha!
[8:28:30 PM] Laremy says: Okay, how did he go through being played off? I’ve never seen that!
[8:29:09 PM] Brad says: Best Director is next, excited?
[8:33:06 PM] Laremy says: I wonder if Ang Lee could take this? Could Ang Lee take this? No, Ang Lee can’t take this. It’s Steven Spielberg or bust.
[8:33:13 PM] Brad says: Best Director time, where the win for Steven Spielberg feels like a much safer bet than it was this morning, though I’m still not counting Ang Lee out.
[8:34:29 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Director is
[8:35:11 PM] Brad says: Any chance there is a Best Picture upset at this point?
[8:35:12 PM] Laremy says: Wowsers. Ang Lee picks up his second and Steven Spielberg just misses his third. A legit shocker.
[8:35:43 PM] Brad says: It’s a wild and crazy night folks.
[8:36:50 PM] Laremy says: Brad’s 20 just went down in flames. Sorry bro, but we’ll always have that chicken dinner.
[8:37:41 PM] Brad says: Man, another commercial before Best Actress and Actor are handed out.
[8:39:32 PM] Brad says: The Academy just said a surprise presenter will present Best Picture. Who could it be?
[8:41:03 PM] Brad says: Jean Dujardin will present Best Actress. Remember him? He was in The Artist, last year’s Best Picture winner. I like him.
[8:41:27 PM] Laremy says: I am getting scared about this whole thing after that Ang Lee win.
[8:43:35 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Actress is
[8:44:25 PM] Brad says: Oops, took a little tumble. Still an Oscar winner.
[8:44:40 PM] Laremy says: Happy for Jennifer Lawrence, she seems like a solid person.
[8:45:32 PM] Brad says: Meryl Streep will now tell us that Daniel Day-Lewis wins for Best Actor.
[8:46:18 PM] Laremy says: I think Daniel Day-Lewis has a legit shot here.
[8:48:27 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Actor is
[8:48:46 PM] Brad says: I’m not even sure Meryl Streep opened the envelope.
[8:49:35 PM] Laremy says: DDL now has three Best Actor statues. Any chance at a fourth?
[8:50:25 PM] Laremy says: Day-Lewis has jokes!
[8:50:40 PM] Brad says: All that’s left is Best Picture and now I’m not so sure it’s a lock for Argo. Interesting night with evenly balanced awards.
[8:51:56 PM] Laremy says: We’re basically going to finish on time! Whoot whoot!
[8:52:12 PM] Brad says: Jack Nicholson is the surprise? He was announced as a presenter.
[8:53:10 PM] Brad says: Oh, it’s Michelle Obama that will announce Best Picture.
[8:53:24 PM] Laremy says: Lady Obama about to give some love to Argo.
[8:53:40 PM] Brad says: Or is she only going to list the nominees, which have already been listed? Is this a hint toward Lincoln? Couldn’t be… Could it?
[8:54:46 PM] Brad says: Okay, so she was just talking… Now Jack will do the rest.
[8:55:53 PM] Brad says: Winner for Best Picture is
[8:57:00 PM] Brad says: Interesting considering there is a RopeofSilicon commenter out there that said he would never comment again if Argo won. Uh oh!
[8:57:06 PM] Laremy says: There you have it. Argo swept through the season and captured the gold. Brad ends at 19 correct and I managed 17. If you beat us, hats off, I salute you.
[8:57:41 PM] Brad says: Well, another year and 19-24 on my predictions. Would have really loved to hit at least 20, but that’s life.
[8:58:51 PM] Brad says: They are giving them a lot of time to chat. Ben gets his chance after Heslov, will Clooney get a chance?
[9:01:01 PM] Brad says: Here comes the Seth MacFarlane and Kristin Chenoweth performance. Unless they cut it. Will they cut it?
[9:01:44 PM] Laremy says: One more Chenoweth bit to survive.
[9:02:20 PM] Laremy says: This is a very odd way to end the show. But I give MacFarlane a solid A- overall.
[9:02:24 PM] Brad says: Okay, I’ve had enough of this… Enjoy your evening! And by the way, congrats to the readers! 20-24 with their predictions. Beat me, I was 19-24 and Laremy was 17-24. Have a great night!
