Okay, here we go

First Caroline will be commenting on the fashions and then Peter takes over at 8:30. All this after the jump:



7:11–She’s wearing a dress that looks like it’s made of ice.


7:20–Kerry Washington’s dress looks like pieces of cloth clipped together with a jewel.


7:52–Love Jamie Foxx’s daughter’s dress. Very flowing. Complements her waist.


7:55–There’s a lot of glitter tonight. Hermoine looks great!


8:16–Sandra Bullock’s dress reminds me of a video game called Star Girl.


8:30–Okay, here we go. Ellen looking nice in a tux. Please, no Woody Allen jokes.


8:32–I love that the woman from “Nebraska” was one of the strippers in “Gypsy.”


8:35–Yeah, but Meryl usually doesn’t win.


8:39–”Possibility number 2, you’re all racist.” THAT was good. And stings slightly since I’m rooting for “Gravity.” “12 Years” was wonderful but watching “Gravity” was like seeing nothing I’ve ever seen before. It was purest movie making.


8:42–Jared Leto. Knew it.


8:44–If this speech were being given later in the evening they’d have played him off a minute and a half ago.


8:47–I still can’t believe Carrey wasn’t nominated for either “The Truman Show” or “Man on the Moon.”


8:51–They should have Steve Carrell in his full Gru outfit come out and dance along.


9:00–Kath thinks Dallas Buyer’s Club


9:00- And she was right.


9:12–Kath predicted Mr. Hublot as well, although Caroline was pulling for “Get a Horse.”


9:14–We’re pulling for Frozen, obviously.


9:15–Oh thank God. Now winter can end.


9:17–Sally Field, we still really like you.


9:21–Gravity has to win.


9:21–Bingo. No way Gravity doesn’t win.


9:28–Did everyone see that bizarre Muppets commercial? Kath said she knew half the puppeteers in it.


9:39–Please, seriously–stop singing.


9:43–Ever since I’ve started seeing the “Maleficent” ads, Angelina Jolie scares the crap out of me.


9:51–I remember the days when they used to run a scene from a nominated movie instead of just edited down trailers.


9:58–That song is apparently the main competition for “Let it Go.”


10:06–Wow, Chris Hemsworth is way less beefed up than when he was Thor.


10:07–Gravity may well win every technical award there is.


10:09–See?


10:11–I’m hoping for Jennifer because I want to see if she’ll fall again. But it should really be the 12 years a Slave actress.


10:14–Excellent.


10:17–What a great speech.


10:17–Damn, I thought they were about to bring out Gene Wilder because of the music they were playing.


10:22–I ordered in pizza once at a Chicago Comic Con when I had a panel at noon. It was much appreciated.


10:25–Now those are two actors I’d love to see in a film together: Amy Adams and Bill Murray.


10:27–Great shout out to Ramis.


10:27–Of course it’s Gravity. As I said, every tech award.


10:30–Another tech award. Who’s going to win, I wonder.


10:30–Oh my God, I did NOT see that coming.


10:34–So lemme get this straight: They have Liza right there and Rainbow is being sung by Pink?!? That makes sense.


10:44–Oh my God. How did THAT happen?


10:46–Wow, first Thor, then Captain America. I wonder if Iron Man is showing up?


10:48–There were a LOT of shots from “Man of Steel” in there, and none of Chris Reeve. That’s annoying.


10:53–Is this dead people? Yup. I wonder if Sarah Jones will be there.


10:58–Would someone tell me why Bette wasn’t singing this during the presentation? I’m not trying to be a dick about this, but that’s just odd.


11:02–The hell?!? Sarah’s name was stuck in at the end as if they forgot and shoved it in at the last minute! THAT was weird.


11:06–I dunno if she just had a lot of plastic surgery or if she’s simply aged well, but Goldie Hawn looks great.


11:13–Well, she had NO reason to be nervous. Idina just belted that one out of the park.


11:13–Hey, music from “How to Train Your Dragon.” That was nice.


11:13–Oh, that’d be nice. “Saving Mr. Banks” had a great score.


11:14–But of course, Gravity again.


11:15–I’m figuring this will go until at least what? 11:45? Midnight?


11:16–YES! And little girls all over the country cheer.


11:23–Great. 11:23 at night and now I want pizza. Damn you, Ellen.


11:24–12 years of course


11:25–Yeah, that wasn’t hard to predict.


11:26–Is Gravity up for this? No! Apparently not.


11:34–I knew it. I just KNEW it.


11:42–Gotta be Sandra. Gotta be.


11:44–SON OF A BITCH!


11:48–Yay, she didn’t trip.


11:49–I’d love it if Dern won. He won’t, but the speech would be worth it.


11:51–I’ll be damned. I thought sure the guy from 12 Years had it wrapped up.


11:55–Cool! Will’s doing best picture!


11:57–SERIOUSLY? Gravity wins almost every technical award and best director and “12 Years a Slave” is the best picture? Jesus. I mean, there’s no denying it’s an incredible movie, but in terms of pure filmic experience “Gravity” is simply better.
