So is anyone allowed to participate in this? I want to share my Oscar angst, too.
by kristinalustig at 3/8/2010 12:13:31 AM
@kristinalustig Sure, why not. The more angst the better!
by keyanastevens at 3/8/2010 12:14:44 AM
We'll be moderating comments, though.

Barbara Walters is sick of her oscars specials. Me too.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:15:14 AM
At least she has a sense of humor about it. Babwa Wawa

It's a shame, I would have loved to watch Pavarati's Oscar Special.

I think Brahbrah is doing a Brahbrah Wahtahs impression.

Quote from Niel Diamond, "Most people like my songs"

Still have 22 years to be recapped.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:19:57 AM
You know, if I'd been covering the Oscars as long as Barbara Walters has been, I'd be sick of them too.

Whoopi Gowlbewg is a wife wong fwend

Does Tom Cruise really find EVERYTHING funny?
by danrickmers at 3/8/2010 12:25:14 AM
@danrickmers Hahaha, good question!
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:27:19 AM
Just so the viewers all know: you should probably still be watching the Oscars even if you're looking at the liveblog, cause otherwise none of these comments are going to make sense.

@keyanastevens I'm not going to say I hate you, but I won't rule out the possibility
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:29:41 AM
before I depart for a different liveblog, I'd like to say that kathryn bigelow is really hot.
by kristinalustig at 3/8/2010 12:31:01 AM
@kristinalustig HOW DARE YOU
by danrickmers at 3/8/2010 12:31:13 AM
@kristinalustig I'm not going to say I hate you, but I won't rule out the possibility.

@Andy Heriaud @danrickmers GUYS, DON'T TROLL OUR READERS.
by keyanastevens at 3/8/2010 12:31:48 AM
Guys, seriously? Google image her. That's the only reason I want her to win for Best Director.

That's Kathryn Bigelow, future oscar winner
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:33:14 AM
@kristinalustig I was referring to you leaving. She's definitely hotter than James Cameron.
by danrickmers at 3/8/2010 12:33:21 AM
Also, director of Point Break
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:33:31 AM

and K-19: The Widowmaker
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:34:06 AM
That's Bruce Campbell, future Oscar winner.

Nic Cage frightens me

True Fact: after the collapse of his career, Mike Myers has begun to believe he IS Shrek
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:37:01 AM
True Fact: Jennifer Hudson conducts all of her interviews in song.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:38:27 AM
It's kind of awkward to belt when you're two feet away from someone.
by danrickmers at 3/8/2010 12:38:41 AM
It's maddening.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:38:43 AM
I just want to point out that my favorite author, Neil Gaiman, is at the Oscars. He wrote the book Coraline, later made into an animated movie. A photo from his twitter feed:

Andy says he's shocked we have even 12 viewers. We were expecting like 4.

Speed 2: Cruise Control
by danrickmers at 3/8/2010 12:44:15 AM
14!
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:44:27 AM
This is the largest audience I've ever had. My Bar Mitzvah was considered a failure.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:45:00 AM
You'd have more if we got to participate live with you... that's what makes it fun for us peasants
by kristinalustig at 3/8/2010 12:45:04 AM
Especially since I'm not Jewish.
by Andy Heriaud at 3/8/2010 12:45:06 AM
have we already made suggestive jokes about this "we're doing it live!" tag?
