5:39pm: Jon Stewart pissed off Dennis Hopper, I’m pretty sure. And before that, I’m pretty sure George Clooney was irritated for Jon to be talking to him. His political jokes about the Iraqi war was typical and, because of those jokes, I wish he wasn’t hosting. He was definitely pushing the Democratic thing and it was sort of funny but mostly annoying because the Oscars are about movies, not politics.

5:42pm: Jennifer Garner is the first presenter. She is presenting the award for Achievement in Costume Design. The winner is Alexandra Burn for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. She was previously nominated in the same category for her work on the film Hamlet. BORING! Let’s get to the good jokes, the good awards, and the good celebrities!

The first commercial break. The first of many, I’m sure. I wonder what those losers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing right now? Besides getting snubbed.

5:46pm: George “I’ve got an attitude problem” Clooney is on-stage. He needs to learn how to read. Seems like he stumbled a bit. He is announcing the whole”80 Years of Oscar” bit. Seeing Julia Roberts winning reminded me how glad I am that she’s out of the spotlight. Charlie Chaplin sure looked different as an old guy but seeing the clip of him getting his Honorary Oscar was pretty neat.

5:51pm: Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell (who was funny AS USUAL!) are presenting for Best Animated Feature Film now. They came out to Get Smart music because of their new movie, Get Smart, coming out in June 2008. The winner is Brad Bird and his feature Ratatouille. This is Bird’s 2nd Academy Award.

5:55pm: Katherine Heigl is on-stage presenting the award for Achievement in Make Up. She was incredibly nervous and shaking, which I found endearing. The winner is La Vie En Rose. Now Amy Adams is singing some gay song from Enchanted. This is the time where I get up and eat and pee cause I hate this type of crap.

Second commercial break of the night. Hope everyone is watching these at home so you guys can relate to my comments!

6:06pm: And we’re back! Thank goodness that Amy Adams performance ended. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is now on-stage. He looks like a monkey! He’s presenting the award for Best Visual Effect. The winner is Michael Fink for The Golden Compass.

6:09pm: Cate Blanchett, who is a double-nominee this year, is presenting the award for Art Direction. The winner is the people for Sweeney Todd.

Okay so I was just reminded how little people care about all these awards as opposed to the big, main awards. So I will slow it down and update just for the really good stuff so that you guys aren’t reading a crap load of stuff.

6:16pm: Best Supporting Actor awards being presented by Jennifer Hudson. The winner is.. Javier Bardem for his role in No Country For Old Men.

6:34pm: Best Supporting Actress award being presented by last years Best Supporting Actor winner Alan Arkin. The winner is (I’m totally gunning for Cate but I’m waiting to see who actually wins it!) Tilda Swinton for her role in Michael Clayton.

Third commercial break

6:54pm: Kristen Chenoweth performing some horrible song from Enchanted. I’m so glad I never saw that movie!

Fourth commercial break but after that performance, we all need a break!

7:02pm: Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill presenting and they are hilarious. I wish all the presenters could have as much life and happiness as these two. Everyone else is boring. They presented their award to two hippies (seriously) for The Borne Ultimatum and they were totally lost the whole time. Classic.

7:09pm: Forest Whittaker presenting the award for Best Actress In A Leading Role. This one will be tough but I am still rooting for Cate B. The winner is (drumroll!) Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose.

Okay it’s 8:05pm and its been through seven commercials and I’m so tired of watching this! They just did the tribute to all the people who have passed away and seeing Heath Ledger’s name up there just wasn’t right. It’s so sad that he’s gone. Let’s hope the BEST ACTOR award is next!!

8:14pm: Tom Hanks just spoke and I wish there was more of him in this show. He’s beyond awesome. In fact, from seeing him I’m getting tempted to turn off this show and watch Forrest Gump. Seriously.

8:30pm: Best Actor award finally being given out by Helen Mirren after frickin 3 hours of waiting. The winner is Daniel Day Lewis for his role in There Will Be Blood. DAMN! I really wanted Viggo Mortensen to win. He did an excellent job in Eastern Promises.

8:45pm: Best Motion picture being presented by Denzel Washington. I wanted 3:10 to Yuma to win but it wasn’t nominated. No Country For Old Men was the winner. Hooray. The 3rd Oscar for them (the Cohen brothers) in one night.

FINALLY! They are over! What did you think of the results?

5:07pm:    Javier Bardem, who is nominated as Best Actor for his role in No Country For Old Men, is there with a hair cut looking very good! He gave a shout out to his sister in Spain and then spoke some Spanish.. it sounded good!

5:14pm:     Daniel Day Lewis talks about his role in There Will Be Blood. He sounds good with his accent and even though his hair is totally grayed out, he looks good. His wife has got a hideous dress on.  Regis is talking to the oldest Oscar fan, some lady in a bright yellow sweatshirt with an Oscar on the front. The show is starting in 11 minutes! Get ready!

5:23pm:     Ellen Page had a nice blurb to say about her nomination for Best Actress in the movie Juno. I hope she wins because she is so genuine and she is still so young she hasn’t been affected by all the dram and bitchiness!  Regis is talking to all the chicks who are performing the 3rd song of the night; a song from the Disney movie Enchanted. Should be gay.
