*If you would like to see the list of 2008 Oscar nominations, CLICK HERE* I will be live-blogging through the whole ceremony and will post the winners later this evening, as they are announced. Enjoy the commentary and pictures! TIP: refresh your page frequently! I will continue to add pictures every thirty minutes or so! Enjoy the 80th annual Academy Awards!*

3:20pm:     Okay, I’m starting my live-blogging of the 2008 Oscars right now. I don’t want to start this early but it’s either this or reading about the Cold War and, well, we all know watching stuck-up famous people give each other fake hugs and dirty looks is wayy better than reading about any war. Heidi Klum and Seal were just interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Heidi Klum is annoying. Anytime people ask her if she’s looking forward to seeing anyone famous she’s says no. Girlfriend thinks she’s too famous to get star-struck or something.

3:30pm:     I’m watching the pre-Academy Awards red carpet thing on the E! channel with Ryan Seacrest, Guiliana Rancic, and Kimora Lee Simmons. I found it totally hilarious when George Clooney (with girlfriend Sarah Larson) totally shot down every possible joke or conversation piece from Ryan Seacrest. I actually found him to be a little rude, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. Jason Bateman was funny when he insinuated that George Clooney wears a wig. I bet George heard him say that and was pissed! No one calls George out… no one! (Well, except Fabio, huh?) I’m totally already getting tired of watching this and the awards haven’t even started yet! To make it worse, I definitely don’t think Jon Stewart is neither cute or funny… so it’s going to be rough!

3:56pm:     Ryan is interviewing Saoirse Ronan of Atonement and I’m loving her cute little accent and her emerald green dress. I just learned from the text band at the bottom of the television screen that Kristen Chenoweth will be singing (eh, performing) a song tonight. And if you saw her on Leno then you know she’s the adorable blonde actress from Pushing Daisies.

4:00pm:     Steve Carell and his wife are being interviewed by Ryan right now and Steve is funny. I love The Office and I love all his movies so I’m happy to see he’s a funny, cute guy in real life. He’s starring in Get Smart with Anne Hathaway coming out in June. I love that Steve and his wife just said happy birthday to his wife’s sister… so cute! Patrick Dempsey and his wife are talking to Ryan. They’re boring and plain, I hate to say it.

4:05pm:     John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston are looking old and they weren’t very friendly with Ryan. Travolta’s wig is shaved off so that’s a plus. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on the red carpet and is presenting tonight, which is a total joke because he’s like, the worst actor ever. I used to love him like 10 years ago but that fizzled out a long time ago! Atonement star James McAvoy and Anne Marie Scott are both so cute. I love James’ accent, as always.

4:12pm:     Charlie Wilson’s War actress Amy Adams just got interviewed on the red carpet by Ryan and she was cute and charming as always.  Adams was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2005 Academy Awards for her role as Ashley Johnston in Junebug.

4:18pm:    Gary Busey just awkwardly hugged Jennifer Garner (who looks gorgeous with a huge diamond necklace on) and then kissed her. It was HILARIOUS and she handled it pretty well, aside from the fact she was beyond freaked out. She said she needed her man Ben Affleck around and I think she was right! Laura Linney was at Jennifer Garner’s side. Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are looking like twins with pubic hair beards and black glasses.. but they are so hilarious. I love them. Miley Cyrus is wearing a red Valentino dress (and I’m wondering why she’s even there) and Ryan Seacrest is just feeding her ego.. it’s sick!

4:30pm:     Ryan Seacrest cannot let go of the whole “Gary Busey busting in” moment. It was, however, quite hilarious. Keri Russell is now talking to Ryan Seacrest. She is wearing a gold strapless dress and she is with her husband, Shane. She is a presenter for some sort of song. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are being interviewed by Ryan and they’re totally stuck-up. Her face is looking fat now that she’s in her third-trimester. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is talking to Ryan promoting his movie A Raisin In The Sun on ABC tomorrow night. Cameron Diaz had to ask her assistant what brand of jewels she was wearing. She is presenting at the Oscars again this year, the same as she did last year. Tilda Swinton talked about her role in Michael Clayton. That’s some red hair!

4:45pm:     Still on the red carpet with Ryan.  Lisa Rinna walked by in the background and I’m not sure why her and her big lips are there but whatever. Colin Farrell was there with his mommy and he said Nicole Kidman had nothing to do with why he became an actor, contrary to rumors.  Casey Affleck, who is being nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Assassination of Jesse James, was friendly with Ryan. Hilary Swank is wearing a black Versace dress. It’s pretty but somewhat plain.

4:58pm:    Katherine Heigl wearing a bright red dress with bright red lipstick. A bit intense for me but whatever.

5:01pm:    Now I’m watching the Red Carpet Countdown to the Oscars with Regis Philbin on ABC.  The Reeg is talking to George (been there, done that) about his Best Actor nomination for Michael Clayton. The Reeg couldn’t hear a damn word that George said and he made a fool outta himself. Funny, though. Marion Cotillard is wearing a white dress and is there for her nomination for Best Actress.

*This post is getting long so I will continue on the next post.. keep refreshing your page for updates! Thanks!*

Ever since I saw that boxing movie, I looked a Hilary Swank with a bit of admiration like, ‘Damn, she must work out really hard and have a great diet.’ But now that Hilary Swank is in W Magazine, talking about how she takes 45 supplements everyday, I’m beginning to wonder if she isn’t the chick doing everything humanly possibly before she actually has to eat. I hope she’s just coming off as a freak and she’s really just a health fanatic (we need a famous normal person to look up to when it comes to body image, don’t we?) that goes a bit overboard. What’s worse is she also takes vitamin injections. Weird!

 A devotee of celebrity nutritionist Oz Garcia for the past seven years, Swank sees her regimen as one of the secrets to her success. “Oz has changed my life. The Longevity Pak is so awesome,” she says, eyes shining. (And later, as if the sack of supplements wasn’t enough, she excuses herself so that a visiting nurse can give her a vitamin injection.)

Madonna gives herself vitamin injections and we all know how messed up her arms are! With all this money, why don’t these ladies just hire a cook to always cook them healthy stuff and hire a personal trainer to work them out good?! Why do they have to be soo skinny that they need to get jacked up on vitamins (yes, vitamins do jack you up) and shots? I think it’s all gone a bit too far. I wish this wasn’t true about Hilary Swank!
