Academy Awards 2013 - Live Tweets

5:30 – Seth McFarlane … 5:36 already edgy with the Chris Brown joke. The crowd is turning. LOVED we saw your boobs, but I’ll bet the old lady from Amour is feeling a little left out. Was that Channing Tatum? Didn’t recognize him with clothes on. LOVED the Flight sock puppet bit. Awesome. Okay, the opening segment was actually really good. Time for an award. 5:47 – Best supp actor: So happy Christoph Waltz wins for his great performance in Django Unchained. He carried the first half of that movie and was well deserving of the win even though Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Deniro were the favorites. 5:55 – Paul Rudd and Melissa McCarthy good bit. Best anim short film: Paperman Oops. I am 0 for 2. Not a good start. I need a drink! 5:59 – Best animated feature film: YAYYY! Brave wins. I’m 1 for 3! Time to get on a roll. 6:05 – The Avengers reunion was a bust. Best Cinematography: Life Of Pi!!! YAYYY! 2 for 4! If this movie didn’t win for Cinematography, I’m not sure it would win anything. 6:08 – Awkward moment between Samuel Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. Shit’s about to get real, Yo! Best Visual Effects: Life Of Pi!! WOOHOO!!!! 3 for 5! 6:12 – Pretty sure that Oscar winner just got eaten by a shark. Good thing they cut to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just in time. 6:17 – Best Costume Design: Anna Karnina. Guessed right on that one. 4 for 6! 6:19 – Best makeup and hair: Les Miserables!! Yayy! Okay, now I’m on a roll. 5 for 7. 6:21 – Halle Berry. Celebrating 50 years of Bond. ’50 years? Holy cow. That’s almost your whole life!’ – Shit Ryan says. Pretty cool montage, but all the songs they have to choose from to perform live and they choose Goldfinger?! The crowd stands but probably only to stretch their legs. A few more hours to go. 6:33 – Jamie Foxx and Kerri Washington Best Live Action Short: Curfew. Damn. And Death Of A Shadow was such a great title! How did it not win? 5 for 8. 6:35 – Best Doc Short: Inocente wins. Damn. 5 for 9. Waiter! More Tequila por favor!! 6:41 – Seth McFarlane gets booed for a Lincoln joke. It’s okay. It was a good joke. Worth it. 6:42 – Ben Affleck. Best Documentary Feature: Yes! Searching For Sugar Man!! Great movie, and the only one I’ve seen in this category. Too bad Rodriguez isn’t there to give a speech. 6 for 10. 6:50 – Best Foreign Language Film: Amour. The most obvious pick of the night. A VERY slow movie. Well done well acted but SLOW. 7 for 11. 6:52 – John Travolta. What? Seth McFarlane couldn’t come up with a massage therapist joke? Catherine Zeta Jones went sharp while lip synching. How does this happen? Jennifer Hudson is telling us she’s not going. She should really get together with Jamie Lee Curtis for Activia. Now for the Les Mis reunion. I hope it’s good. Okay, that was awesome! Very cool. 7:08 – Chris Pine and Zoe Salanda. I said that I loved her in Avatar, which really would only be funny if she WASN’T in Avatar. Oops. Here’s the big Ted moment. Not bad. 7:11 – Best Sound Mixing: Les Mis. Oops. I picked Skyfall. Seriously. What was I thinking? That’s the last time I sniff glue while making my predictions! 7 for 12. 7:14 – Best Sound Editing: It’s a tie. Zero Dark Thirty! (Yes!!! 8 for 13 BABY!!) and Skyfall. The two that accepted the award for Skyfall look like Bond villians. Or Dawg the Bounty Hunter and his wife. 7:20 – Christopher Plummer. Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams just looked at the camera and tugged her ear. Pretty sure she was saying hi to Carol Burnett. Glad they showed a clip of Helen Hunt with clothes on. There weren’t many in The Sessions. And the winner is: Anne Hathaway. No surprise here. 9 for 14! Nice heartfelt speech from Anne. The shows been on for just about 2 hours and I’m guessing the most comfortable person in the crowd is Emmanuelle Riva from Amour. She’s probably pretty content sitting there with her diaper on. 7:29 – The President of the Academy is speaking. Time to go to the kitchen for snacks. 7:32 – Sandra Bullock. Best Film Editing: Argo. Whoops. I picked Zero Dark Thirty. You know what I think about that. (Argo fuck yourself!) 9 for 15. 7:34 – Adele singing Skyfall. Still waiting for this song to grow on me. And I LOVE Adele. Okay that makes me picture Adele having her period. (Too much?) Okay that was pretty cool. 7:45 – Best Production Design: Lincoln. YAYYY! 10 for 16. 7:50 – Salma Hayak. That dress makes her look like a Giraffe. Is she intentionally trying to sound like Gloria from Modern Family? 7:57 – The in memoriam. Not liking this song choice. Why not I’m Walking On Sunshine or Miley Ray Cyrus singing Party In the USA? I don’t recognize many names. This is making me feel young. For Tony Scott they should have played Bridge Over Troubled Water. What? Too soon? Cool. Barbra Streisand singing The Way We Were. Barbra still sounds great. One of the best moments of the night. 8:07 – The cast of Chicago along with an alien. Oops. That’s Rene Zellweiger with yet another new face. Well this is awkward. Best Original Score: Life Of Pi!! WOOHOO! Right again. I felt pretty strongly about this one. Well deserved. 11 for 17. 8:12 – Best Original Song: It’s not very fair that only two of them were sung live tonight. And the winner is: Adele with Skyfall. I’m starting to hate being right all the time. 12 for 18. Now I’m expecting a really funny speech from Adele. A nice, sincere and emotional moment from Adele but sadly, no F bombs. 8:22 – Dustin Hoffman and Charlize Theron. Pretty sure Dustin is in the suit. Best Adapted Screenplay: Argo. Damn. I picked Silver Linings Playbook which has yet to win anything. I’m a little concerned about picking it for Best Picture. 12 for 19. 8:26 – Best Original Screenplay: A little bit of a surprise but Quentin Tarantino wins for his amazing Django Unchained. This is a rare occasion when I am happy to be wrong for picking Zero Dark Thirty. 12 for 20. I got BOTH screenplays wrong. Shit! Any more wrong and I’m going to start dropping ‘F’ bombs! 8:33 – Michael Douglas and Big Bird, sorry Jane Fonda. Best Director: Ang Lee!!!!!! YAYYY! So glad that he won. Well deserved! Life Of Pi is a GREAT movie! 13 for 21. 8:40 – Jean Dujeldean (?) Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence. Well deserved and not surpising. Whoops. That’s what you get when you combine a bulky dress with gravity. She should really be wearing a helmet. Right again! 14 for 22. 8:45 – Meryl Streep Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis. No surprise here. I would have been happy with Joaquin Phoenix but Day-Lewis was also brilliant. Yep. Right again. 15 for 23. Awesome Margaret Thatcher joke. Not bad. He should do a comedy. ‘There Will Be Blood On My Left Foot After I’m Assassinated.’ And now it’s time for Jack. 8:52 – Jack Nicholson. Michelle Obama with one of the big surprises of the night. She looks great as always. Here we go. Argo wins. Not quite sure how a movie that directs itself wins best pic but there you go. Actually moments before Michelle Obama’s announcement I had a feeling it was going to win. Nevertheless I did pick Silver Linings Playbook so I would be wrong. I ended the night going 15 for 24 which is not too bad. You can’t really blame the Academy for only getting 9 of them wrong. (See what I did there?) Ben Affleck could become an Auctioneer if acting and directing doesn’t work out for him. SOLD! Argo was a great movie and this is a well deserved win. All in all a pretty good night. Seth McFarlane was somewhere between Billy Crystal and James Franco. Probably a little closer to Billy Crystal actually. 9:01 – Kristin Chenoweth and Seth McFarlane sing Here’s To The Losers. Nice touch, but good Lord. Will this ever end?! 9:05 – It ended! (Whew!)
