Kajal is out of town and likes my live-blogging, so Kajal... this is for you! I'm out of practice blogging- I should really start up again. Maybe the Oscars are the right time to get back on the proverbial horse! And straight off, from every news source I borrowed red carpet pictures from, I apologize. I just need the visual.
The Red Carpet...
Got a little bit of a late start here. Sorry. I probably missed all the good stuff.
1) TIM GUNN is doing the red carpet! That's amazing. Give whoever decided to do this a raise!
2) So is this lady I don't know at all. She's probably famous or something, but I don't know.
3) The cast of Slumdog Milllionaire is adorable.
4) Mikey Rourke is crazy looking. And wearing a ton of makeup.
5)I didn't realize that Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron were "America's sweethearts"... I haven't ever seen one High School Musical movie, and barely know who these kids are.
6) I love Viola Davis' dress. I don't know who she is, but she worked with Meryl Streep, and the gold dress is so pretty.
7) I love Tim Gunn.
8) Miley Cyrus' dress is a little age-inappropriate. What's with all the tweens anyway? I want grown-up actors!
Plus, when she starts talking, she's annoying. Plus, it just makes me think of that clip from a junket during Bolt! that The Soup always uses for her. I'm sure that's part of the fact that I just can't listen to her.
9) Ahhh... Anne Hathaway. Beautiful dress. Not to mention... LOVE Tim Gunn. Seriously, her dress is amazing. Like a disco ball, but pretty.
10) Amy Adams looks pretty good too. Or was that Inga Whats-her-name. They look a lot alike.
Okay, maybe not so much there.(Ilsa Fisher's picture is not from the Oscars, but is the only red carpet picture I could find where she had similar hair.)
11) There go the dorky guys with the winners. Tim is telling us about their outfits, but really, they're just boring tuxes.
12) Meryl looks good, but the dress is a little boring. Her daughter is striking though. I think Meryl should have worn a necklace.
13) Penelope Cruz is wearing a pretty cool dress, though it's a littlebridal. I love the fact that it's vintage however. Not sure how I feel about the bangs.
14) Jack Black has a SEXY wife. Though I wish her dress was a little more formal.
15) Marissa Tomei- Her dress is kind of like something Leanne from last season's PR would have made with all the pleating.
16) Did Seth Rogan lose weight? He looks pretty good. Maybe he was just heavy during Pineapple Express.
The Oscars!!
8:30: Starting right on time. Good job Oscar-people! Lets see if we can stay on schedule!
8:31:See how much I follow this stuff. I had no idea that Hugh Jackman was the host. That's a little strange right? He's not a comedian or anything...
Kate Winslet looks pretty.
8:32: My sound keeps knocking out. This will piss me off before long. Hopefully it will fix itself.
8:33: Kate Winslet's hair doesn't look all that great. The front does, but the back is strange.
8:34: Craigslist dancers? AH! funny...
8:35: Anne Hathaway is wearing a different dress already? This one looks kind of like an ice-skater's costume.
8:36: A Frost/Nixon romantic drama might have been nice...
8:37: Okay, The Reader part was super funny. "I didn't see the reader...I meant to see it"
8:38: I'm Wolverine. Okay, maybe Hugh wasn't a bad choice. Still a weird choice, but at least he's funny.
8:39: Meryl Streep's daughter is afraid that Hugh Jackman is going to do something crazy to her, you just know it.
8:40: Love Angelina's green ring.
Is Meryl Streep the Susan Lucci of the Oscars? No, she won in 1979. Nevermind.
8:41: Whoops. The curtain isn't opening for the montage! Kind of a dull montage, so just as well.
8:42: Tilda Swinton is kind of adorable. I love that she doesn't wear makeup. Or at least lipstick and eye shadow. It's adorable. Did I say that already? Well, she's wearing lipstick now, but she wasn't the year that she won. Unless she ate it all off.
8:44: Uh, what are they doing to Viola Davis? Oh, she's nominated for best actress.
8:45: Whoopi, that was funny "It's not easy being a nun." And Amy Adams is adorable. And I LOVE her necklace. Though I better watch out- J thinks she's pretty cute too! Did two of those women who got nominated come from Doubt? Amy and Viola? Hmmm... I don't think I even heard of that
film!
8:47: Huh? This is only best supporting Actress. Really? Hmmm... That's quite a set up! Yay Penelope! Joe and I didn't see this film yet.
8:49: Uh, why is Penelope still talking? Isn't there a time limit? And anyone want to give me the Spanish?
8:53: Tina Fey looks beauty-ful! Steve Martin looks dashing too! Love her earrings!
8:54: They're pretty funny.
8:58: Sorry, I was in the kitchen beginning to heat up some Trader Joe's Coconut Shrimp to nosh on. J and I ate dinner at like, 4. We're a little hungry. Hopefully the deep-fried aspect won't make me sick so
I'll miss the rest of the Oscars, and dead-blog (uh, regular blog) the Oscars later. Fingers crossed.
9:03: Team Jen! and Team Jack! (He doesn't necessarily need a team, but he deserves one). I kind of like her hair.
9:04: What's with the closeup on Brad and Angie? For what it's worth, they're laughing and look fine. Of course, they're friends with Jack Black. Right? Damn, I'm behind on my celebrity gossip- I haven't read an US
Weekly in a month!
9:07: Is anyone surprised that Wall-e beat Kung Fu Panda?
I watched Mamma Mia on Friday, and might I just say that I am thrilled to get to see Meryl not wearing overalls.
9:26: What's with Robert Pattinson's sketchy facial hair?
9:32:That's an interesting color for Natalie Portman's dress. Kind of Barbie-pink. Don't know how I feel about it. Hmmm... Ben Stiller is doing a kick ass Joaquin Phoenix though.
9:34: The camera man is more interested in the clips than in Ben Stiller's being funny. People
are laughing and I don't know why. Good. He caught up.
9:35: Who was that who was returning to their seat? Aren't there ushers to stop this kind of thing?
9:57: I'm a huge musical fan. Why is homage to the musical number leaving me cold?
10:01: My puppy is fast asleep. Adorable.
10:08: I didn't even see The Dark Knight, but I'm glad Heath Ledger won for Best Supporting Actor.
10:10: Stupid E! Online won't let me copy their pictures.
10:13: Did the documentary lady just curse because she cursed? Funny.
10:27: I haven't heard any songs. Are they not doing that this year? Usually at this point I've heard like, 5 songs that are up for an Oscar. I didn't miss it, did I?
10:29: The Dark Knight is doing well. I still can't believe I haven't seen it yet.
10:40: I'm bored.
10:43:Aw. I want to give Jerry Lewis a hug.
10:46: Seal is hot. How do Heidi Klum and Seal even exist in the world without it imploding from their combined beauty?
10:51: Ah, here's the music.
10:54: Zac Efron has gross looking hair
Slumdog Millionaire is doing pretty good too! Another one I haven't seen. I barely watch movies. It's embarrassing.
11:01: Oh, I just realized, another Barbie-Pink dress. Is this in honor of her 50th Birthday?
11:05: Uh, are we really living in an age where a commercial where a woman is looking at vacuum cleaners as her love is appropriate (Woman lusting after Hoover Platinum while "At Last (my love has come along)"
plays- I couldn't find a video)? Is feminism really dead?
11:18: Reese Witherspoon is wearing an interesting dress. I don't know how I feel about it exactly. and the whole HD thing is making it so I can see all the flesh-colored supports that are supposed to blend from
this distance. Well, I suppose that answers a lot of my questions about celebrity clothing. But in general, I'm pro-Reese, so I won't get too picky.
11:26: Ah, here we are, the money awards... or as they say, the "highly anticipated" ones. Sophia Loren is still alive?
11:27: Halle Berry is so cute.
Anne Hathaway is back in her beautiful dress. Whew.
11:30: We are officially over time now. Meryl looks amazing. Sophia Loren should lay off the plastic surgery. Wowzers.
Sophia Loren then 
Sophia Loren now.
11:31: Maybe I'm just a sucker for Nicole Kidman, but I love her sparkly feathers and her adorable hair.
11:32: Anne Hathaway had the most joyus and genuine reaction for Kate Winslet. That was sweet.
11:34: The whistle thing was adorable.
11:35: "I think we all can't believe we were in a category with Meryl Streep at all!" ADORABLE!!
11:40: What happened to Adrian Brody's hair?
11:41: Anthony Hopkins is super awesome.
11:43: Sean Penn won for Milk. Which I assume he was great in. Give yourself a cookie if you realize by now that I haven't seen it either. Sigh.
11:44: "You commie, homo-loving, sons of guns." Love it!
11:46: REPEAL PROP 8!
11:47: Steven? Stephen? Spielberg. I'm still a little bitter with him over Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Yes, I've seen that. Sigh. I'm an embarrassment.
11:53: Slumdog Millionaire won best picture. Excellent!
11:56: Done. Not too shabby! G'night!

Love it. And I think I will contract you to live blog all sorts of things when I am out of town. Admit it - the only reason you threw in the slumdog cast was to pander to my indian-ness...or to pander to your neighbors...
