Feb. 22nd, 2009 08:45 pm8:30 The opening musical number is, um, special. Remember when Billy Crystal hosted? I do, because he would have done EXACTLY THIS NUMBER. (Except he probably couldn't have lifted Anne Hathaway).
8:42 Former Supporting Actress Oscar Winners come out to praise this year's nominees: Ohmigod, this is tedious. Will we be getting this for each of the nominees? (Frankly, I'd be a lot more entertained if they did it for the technical categories--5 sound engineers on stage talking about why this year's nominees were good would be fascinating).
Comment from the couch: "Did you see Tilda had a drink while she walked offstage? How did she get it? She must've had it in her pocket!"
8:52. "Writers don't only write screenplays---they write MOVIES." Oooookay...
8:53 Tina Fey just has to mention her name to get applause. Well, yes.
8:54 Steve Martin and Tina Fey must have written this themselves. Wow. Couch: "Man, I never want these two to go away."
9:01 First win for Slumdog! I celebrate; Couch critiques my inept shaving this morning.
9:03 Jack Black and Jennifer Aniston are bringingsexy cue card reading back.
9:05 'Space Chimps' has just officially had more screen time tonight than it actually did in theaters.
9:28 Nearly an hour and still no Bollywood numbers? Displeased Cat is Displeased.
9:33 I just KNOW my parents think Ben Stiller's doing a Bob Dylan impersonation.
9:34 Second win for Slumdog! Gawrsh, maybe at some point one of the Indian folks who worked on this movie will get a moment on stage. Maybe? Hopefully?
9:47 Couch is getting increasingly fascinated by the Awards Guides, those women in white who shoo folks offstage. How do you apply for this job? Is there special training?
9:52 Hugh Jackman's first re-appearance since the opening. And it's for...a montage of show tunes? With a...a drumline???
10:09 Heath Ledger's family is on stage getting the Best Supporting Actor award. If there was ever an acceptance speech that could go on as long as they fucking wanted without having to worry about the orchestra playing them off...
