2012 Academy Awards: Live Blog!


Thank you for joining The Hollywood Gossip for our first-ever live Oscars blog. And, as the stately voice of Morgan Freeman introduces us to the broadcast and we prepare for Billy Crystal to insert himself into all the Best Picture nominees for his typical opening... we're off!

8:32 - George Clooney just kissed Crystal on the lips. And Rick Santorum just turned off the 84th annual Academy Awards.

8:35 - A Justin Bieber sighing, a Crystal impression of Sammy Davis Jr., a joke about the Holocaust AND a reference to The Princes Bride?!? Wow.

8:38 -  Two things guaranteed to run long tonight: the Oscars program and Billy Crystal's tuxedo jacket.

8:46 - Robert Richardson wins Best Cinematographer for Hugo and says what we're all thinking: This category was first?!?

8:47 - Hugo also wins for Art Direction. One more win by the guy and he's going to be the favorite in the Michigan primary.

2012 Oscars

8:54 - They started a Great Movies of Our Time montage with Forest Gump, immediately followed by Breaking Dawn. The Oscars really are like a box of chocolates, apparently. Didn't see that one making the cut. Meanwhile... Was that an ad for movies during the Oscars? Pretty sure the audience is already sold.

(NOTE: We may be silent for the next 10 minutes while we try to determine if a nipple is sticking out of J. Lo's dress.)

8:58 - Mark Bridges of The Artist wins Best Costume Design.

9:00 - Mark Coulier and Jay Helland win Best Makeup for The Iron Lady. No, really. Turning a middle-aged white woman into a different middle-aged white woman beat the work done on Harry Potter.

9:02 - Clips of stars talking about their love for movies just went straight from Morgan Freeman to Adam Sandler. The Twilight Saga following Forest Gump suddenly seems logical by comparison.

9:04 - We were just told that Moneyball is the first baseball movie to receive an Oscar nomination since Field of Dreams. It's also like, the third baseball movie even made since Field of Dreams. So, really, this was just a random Rookie of the Year diss.

9:08 - Sandra Bullock speaks German? She has so much in common with Jesse James, who loves impersonating Germans. We should introduce them.

9:09 - A Separation wins Best Foreign Language Film. (NOTE: Israel is terrified of Iran's Oscar capabilities.)

9:14: Octavia Spencer wins for Best Supporting Actress. Darn her for delivering a legitimately emotional, heartfelt speech we can't mock in any way.

WHICH NOMINEE WILL WIN BEST PICTURE?
