"Live"-blogging the 2009 Academy Awards

[Editor's Note: I was totally late to the party, so the first half of this is just Eddie's running commentary on the Awards.]

8:30

I AM BLINDED BY THE GLITTER BLINDED BY THE GLITTER ON THE STAGE.

The opening number: This is really adorable in the way that it reminds me of favorite awards show, THE TONYS (wow I am really gay) The middle school sets are amazing. Also Anne Hathaway changed from her horrid mermaid dress. Jazz must be weeping the sadness of the mermaid dress gone away. http://tinyurl.com/djxc6a.

I am watching the show with a Vassar grad that can’t stand Anne Hathaway’s guts so every time she's on the screen we get some awesome insights into Anne’s college life. (Also Meryl Streep and her daughter went to Vassar so go VC)

8:44

I want to steal Viola's dress, build a time machine and dance the night away at studio 54.

DEAR Ms. CRUZ find a dress that fits your tits.

Amy Adams shows me the theme this year seems to be “giant overwhelming pieces of jewelry that look like things my Great Aunt Moe would have owned.” True story, my great aunt Moe loved jewelry and used to give it out to the young girls by the toy pram full and always have more. My grandpa called it “Moe’s junk” and some of her junk I still rock. BUT I WOULD NOT ROCK IT AT THE OSCARS that’s the difference. Granted Moe's stuff came from Avon in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s but still even if it was real NOT OSCAR WORTHY.

GO AU/GOLDIE!

TILDA sometimes you are one of the hottest people ever (see photo shoot where she wore old timey suits) sometimes you look awkward.

OH Ms. Cruz tells us about her childhood and I fear that her right tit is going to fall out. DON’T FALL DON’T FALL OUT! (or maybe do it will amp up the show)

8:50-?

Tina Fey and Steve Martin…for those that don’t know Meg’s dad looks like Steve Martin. This is kind of adorable but TINA FEY is totes posing in a way that seems not her and her eye is saggy in a botox way.

And the screen play winner is…MILK awww one tiny victory and the writer is hot and gay and amazing (he also writes for Big Love which is awesome.)

So Slumdog won for best adapted which isn’t shocking.

9:04

Blah blah animation Jack Black being forced funny. Jennifer Aniston’s hair looks as about put together as my hair…the home viewer should not be more put together then the star.

9:10

ANIMATION GUY GOES “domo arigato Mr. Roboto!” and it was the most adorable thing I have seen at the Oscars.

9:15

Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress looks a bit like it was designed by a wedding Barbie obsessed 6 year old. It's way more wedding dress then Oscar dress and it just does not ‘sit’ well with me/the entire room. Once a Square Peg my dear, always a Square Peg.

9:25

OMG AMANDA IS WEARING A DRESS THAT IS PRETTY MUCH A GIANT BOW and I loves me some bows so I am all for this dress. Plus it is very young in a good way; it is 100% age spot on. The banter is very force and awkward and just high school drama club.

9:32

Joaquin Phoenix joke…and Natalie Portman looks adorable but like an anorexic Barbie doll. You look like you are from a Hasidic Meth Lab is the new YOUR MOM joke. There was a guy coming back to his seat in the front row after a bathroom break BET HE FEELS LIKE A JERK.

9:38

On Jessica Biel: “that dress is very unfortunate” says the queer male in the room. I say and her hair looks like something you rock on a walk of shame. BAD CALL draping gone wrong, I’ve seen better draping on frat boys on their way to a toga party.

9:44

4 screwmosas in and we made popcorn in ye old popcorn maker and the pop corn is hitting my head. Also I am so tipsy I have no clue what is going on with the show

9:52

TOP HATS UNDERREPSENTIED OF OUR SOCIETY this OMG TOP HATS CANES SINGING IN THE RAIN. [editor's note: I didn't edit anything from here on out, drunk-blogging is something I can get behind.]

BEYONCE in a musical medley OMG MY HEART IS DYING IN A RED HOT UNITARD WITH GLOVES. IN MY DREAMS DREAMS THIS IS IDEAL. THEY ARE MAKING THE OSCARS THE TONY’S WHICH IS PROBS THE BEST THING IN THW WORLD. A TOP HAT WITH A CRYSTICAL PLUME SINGING ABBA. THIS IS A GAYS DREAM MAMA MIA WITH TOP HATS ALL THE GAYS IN THE ROOM ARE SCREAMING SCREAMING I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS!!

10:00pm

JOLE GREY (everyone else is freaking out about Cuba)

PHILIP SEYMORE HOFFMAN A ROCHESTER NATIVE GO RA CAH CAH play weird people dress with oddness I love my hometown.

JOLE GREY IS AMAZING and presenting for the GLTB movie which fits

Cuba uhh for Robert Downy Jr. which is pretty funny.

Awww Heath Ledger won. SHOCK SHOCK his daughter will get it when she is 18 which is adorbs.

meg: may it be a lesson to the gays.
Eddie: we need to swim in shit?
meg: it's adam and eve Eddie, not adam and steve
10:37 PM WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH

10:38 PM Eddie: he is alive
according to wiki
DID HE JUST DIE
wait now i have to check to see if Larry Hagman is alive
10:39 PM meg: i don't think he's dead. if he did die it would have to have been like 15 minutes ago. in which case this tribute should be interesting.

10:56 PM Eddie: Indian dancing with white people!
10:57 PM meg: indian dancing is so ridiculously cool to me. also there are asian people on the drums. this feels like the pure racial harmony of something like the olympics
Eddie: RAINBOW CHILDREN
MIA, Angelina
meg: for a hot second i thought kanye west was singing
10:58 PM Eddie: THIS IS WHAT YOU AIM FOR
this sounds like we shall overcome
and looks like it's a small world
meg: BORING
11:00 PM Eddie: the other musical numbers were 100% better
meg: it sort of sounds like they were signing "giant ho"
and that makes me laugh
11:01 PM Eddie: he is rocking a whole bottle of LA style
meg: ok seriously. zac efron's hair. it looks like alicia just gave him a cat bath with her tongue
giant ho wins.
aint that always the way?
11:02 PM Eddie: in beauty competitions
11:03 PM have you seen all these JC pennys ads?
meg: about "stepping up their style"?
Eddie: I am all about shopping on the cheap
but JC Penny is never the way to do that
11:04 PM it is the way to look like a styling meth addict
meg: "pennys" is where you to go buy your girl scout uniform and buy cheap basics for high school musical productions.
Eddie: TRUE
meg: don't try to make a ho a houswife pennys
Eddie: I have mixed feelings about Freida Pinto’s dress
I love the color, love the lace

11:07 PM Eddie: she is also 4 days younger then me
it makes me feel very "I have done nothing in my life"
11:08 PM meg: somebody keeps clapping slightly too long in the audience and it's annoying. and i'm 89% sure it's efron.
Eddie: DAMN EFRON
11:11 PM WOOO A LESBIAN!

I CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT HOW I MISSED TIM GUNN HOSTING THE RED CARPET. I LITERALLY CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

i was at a family function. my mother would have slapped me in the face if i left the table to go live blog the red carpet pre-show. i'm not even kidding...i'm scared of her.

and we love you too rivka! it may have taken a while, but i'm certainly glad you found us! <3

I just found your blog the other day - Love it!

My fave part was the mr. Roboto guy - so adorable!

aaah you girls crack me up. all of us errolers have blogcrushes on you. especially now that I know eddie loves paul newman as much as I do. how can you not love a beautiful man who makes sauce?

meanwhile my oscar complaint is ... not gay enough. I would be happy if they turned the whole thing into the tonys. when hugh sat in frank langella's lap and made a boner joke he got my hopes all up, and from there it was kinda downhill.

dear oscars: more hugh, more glitter, and more goldie hawn next year pls.

or, hugh could just host the whole thing as peter allen. with maracas. either way.

Re-reading this days later I realized I was about 45times drunker then I thought I was at the time.
@abby- Not only was that guy cute but everyone around him looked a bit shocked.
@Sassy- I had so much tonys love as a child I would tape on my VHS and rewatch it to memorize the musical numbers. I should be ashamed of this fact but for some reason I am not.

ps why did I just find out JOAN COLLINS WAS AT THE OSCARS after party???

http://hipcelebrity.blogspot.com/2009/02/joan-collins-arrives-at-2009-vanity.html

that woman never ages and will always have my heart.
