"Every time you go to the movies, it's a blind date" - Guillermo del Toro

6:40 I didn't like Ellen Degeneres cause I thought she was just neurotic. Once I realized she was a neurotic asshole I warmed right up to her.

6:41 Poor Peter O'Toole, he's turned into a grinning rictus caricature of himself - Has he had a stroke?

6:49 Maggie Gyllenhal was the best visual effect at the sci-tech awards.

6:52 Neutrogena skin care: Save the cheerleader's skin, save the world?

6:54 Dueling comedians?

6:58 Pan's Labyrinth won another award, gee, maybe it should have been nominated for best picture.

7:04 West Bank Story is inspired. The director wants a job!

7:11 The Hollywood Film Effects Choir - it's like Stomp without the dancing!

7:23 Alan Arkin wins Best Supporting Actor. If my grandpa was a cocaine-using lecherous womanizer, he'd have gotten an Oscar too.

7:25 Martin Scorsese's eyebrows are actually alien parasites.

7:35 Energy saving tips during Melissa Etheridge's song. Nice touch, though there was some American-centric touches that rang a little odd.

7:38 Al Gore gets kicked off the stage - that's comedy gold right there folks.

7:43 Poor Cameron Diaz, she's turned into a grinning rictus caricature of herself - Has she had a stroke?

7:45 And the award for best Animated Feature goes to the bastard love child of Truman Capote and Mr. Magoo.

7:57 Walmart becomes even more creepy - and I didn't think that was possible.

8:00 Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt have come out on stage holding hands. I like where this is going. Giggidy Giggity!

8:01 Meryl Streep annihilates them both.

8:02 Anne Hathaway: The Marie Antoinette costumes make a delicious dessert.
nosariousAnd the filling isn't fattening at all.

8:08 Holy cow is that woman tall. No wait, she's just standing next to Tom Cruise

8:14 Oh look, another award for Pan's Labyrinth. You'd think it should have been nominated for Best Picture or something.

8:29 Clive Owen, even all cleaned up, still looks scruffy.

8:36 Jennifer Hudson wins Best Supporting Actress. Take that Simon Cowell.

8:47 "Soda-welded" is my new favorite term.

9:15 The silhouette mimes are really starting to impress me.

9:30 Melissa Etheridge has four kids?!? Damn.

9:44 The march of the dead :(

9:55 "The Biggest and brightest gold star"

10:05 Forest Whittaker knocks 'em dead with a powerful acceptance speech.

10:08 Scorsese wins an Oscar. All is right with the universe once again.

10:15 No surprise after Scorsese's win, his Film, The Departed, wins.

And I'm going to bed.
