Robert Downey J.- slowest clap in the world
I’m playing Jai Ho on my computer every time Slumdog wins. Dorky? Yes! But I’m doing it anyway.
wc: Inspiration Cafe commercial, most inspirational part of the Oscars
wc: SMILE Pinky! YES! 1 point for me in the Oscar pool
jt - for some reason, when I saw that wide shot, I thought: remember - the Oscars are in the Kodak Theater, which is in a mall.
jt - wow, Academy - way to put the Ledgers WAY in the nose bleeds.
jt - Cuba Gooding Jr says ‘working actor’ with such disdain. Sorry pal, at least you got a statue before it all went south.
jt - and everyone thinks: we are afraid of the Walken.
If you haven’t seen Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAQ4×7rgS6I
“There should have been a spoiler alert for that montage. Now I know what happens in Mamma Mia”- Danny
Love montage takes an ugly turn.
JT: “Now this is more like my dating life”
Mamma Mia! Not going to lie, I saw it twice
They are plowing through these awards; I love this.
6:18pm Montreal shout out!! WHOO HOO!
6:05pm - “We’re gonna have a montage!”
JT - OMFG! Will you sign my yearbook?!
JT - Frost/Nixon got a little robbed - Slumdog was incredible, but still. It had Nixon! It was jowltastic! Ok. I loved Milk Ill keep watching…..
JT- Tina Fey is on my shortlist of women who should marry me
If Wall-E doesn’t win, I’m not watching the rest of the show
jt - …and I’ve already blown my chances of winning the Oscar pool.
wc - Sarah Jessica Parker 2nd row center? Why? Those are prime seats.
jt - Anjelica Huston is so gorgeous and graceful, and she’s looking like she’s wearing and outfit from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Cool way to give out the first award but Tilda, what are you wearing?!?!
That’s a whole lotta ladies - WOW!
5:40pm - listen Hugh, hands off the Hathaway.
5:38pm - jt - while I appreciate the gesture, does anyone else find it insulting that they’re making millions a picture and ridiculing the economy.

Richard Jenkins should have been sitting up front on row 1 where the other “best actors” were sitting. What an insult to Mr. Jenkins.
