Live blogging the Oscars...with a bottle of Arbor Mist

7:13 The Jonas Brothers. I never knew how out of the loop I was about them...not that it matters because they're like, little kids basically, but still. That middle one is cute. And unfortunately I do like their SOS song. I'm so ashamed. Thank God we're moving on to Anne Hathaway after the commercial.

I have cranberry twist Arbor Mist white merlot. It's perfectly great for the price 3.99

7:15 I can't wait until I don't have to mute the TV every time a preview for He's Just Not That Into You comes on. We're seeing it next weekend so then all will be good and right in the world.

7:19 I've officially added Rachel Getting Married to the top of my Netflix list. Yay! (the list is getting too short...)

7:22 Anne is my hero. She wants to have kids but not necessarily get married. I love her!

7:23 "I have been known to drink a whole 1/2 bottle of wine in one sitting." (A.H.) *looks at my 3/4 remaining wine bottle* Hmmm....

7:25 JULIA ROBERT and CLIVE OWEN!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I know what I'll be watching March 20th...

7:27 The younger Mickey Rourke reminds me of a Bruce Willis with way better hair. Now he's so ugly...

7:42 I'm such a bad woman: I love that T-mobile commercial with the wife who tells her commitment-phobe husband she switch phone providers and he says "I love you. And this time I mean it." I snicker every time I see it. That and the "We've had eleven bulldogs, all named Steve" part.

7:43 But I am a woman: I cry every time I see the Mutual of Omaha commercials...

7:44 Ahhhh, X-men Origins: Wolverine. Can't wait. I love X-men.

7:45 I hate Oklahoma! but I wish I owned the Hugh Jakcman version

7:46 Rarely can I call a man sexy...in fact I don't think I ever have ("hott" "smoking" "cute" yes, but never sexy) but Hugh Jackman is totally sexy.

7:48 I want to marry an Australian. I love their accents... Maybe I'll move there.

8:01 Oscars drinking game: You have to drink every time they ask "who are you wearing?", or someone cries during their speech, You have to chug if someone accidentally gets up to receive an award they actually didn't win.

8:04 Oooh Taraji Henson's dress!

8:06 What is Miley Cyrus wearing? Ick.

8:10 The little kids from SM are soooooooo cute. They're clinging to Dev's hand. Awwwwww. They're the one's I'd most like to meet if I was on the red carpet.

8:13 Oh, I'd like to see Robert Downey Jr. too

8:20 What the heck is up with the accountant montage?

8:23 I love it when the actors heckle the interviewer. "Ok, we'll wrap it up" (reporter) "Oh I get it, someone more famous is walking in aren't they?" (Jack Black)

8:26 Boring conversation with the Oscar producer is on so I found the actual Oscar's drinking game for this year:

For every joke about Obama and black presidents in disaster movies, take a drink.
For any joke involving both Bush and Nixon, or W. and Frost/Nixon, take a drink.
If Hugh Jackman sings, take a drink.
If he performs part of X-Men: The Musical, take another.
If Jackman somehow manages to ram his crotch into the camera, take a drink.
For any interpretative dancing, take a drink.
If any dance or musical number involves a dancing cockroach or orphans on crutches, take a drink.
If The Dark Knight not being nominated for Best Picture is referenced, take a drink.
For any Christian Bale/eye-line gags, take a drink.
If the nomination counts for Kate Winslet or Meryl Streep are mentioned, take a drink.
If Jack Nicholson is shown grinning, take a drink.
If Jack is sitting with an actress 24 years old or younger (one-third his age), take three drinks.
If the Weinsteins have taken hostage a gorgeous actress to sit with them, take a drink (and say a prayer for the poor dear).
If one of the presenters can’t pronounce a nominee’s name or can’t read the teleprompter, take a drink.
For every lame joke that bombs — drink some water, you need to pace yourself.
If anyone thanks God, the almighty, etc. take a drink.
If they thank Ganesha, Xenu or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, finish your drink.
If anyone thanks his or her agent, take a sip of someone else's drink.
If anyone says he or she is “humbled” or “blessed,” take a drink.
If the music starts before the winner is finished, take a drink.
If not all the winners in a group get to speak, take a drink.
If someone forgets to thank their significant other, take a drink.
If anyone cries, whether onstage or in the audience, take a drink.
If a winner says, “Gosh, I don’t know who to thank,” only to begin thanking people, take a drink.
If anyone is caught snoozing in the audience, take a drink.
For any award presented by adorable moppets, adorable muppets, or animated characters, take a drink of soda or something sweet.
If a live actor awkwardly banters with an animated character, take another drink of the same.
For every plea to stamp out movie piracy, take a drink.
For every seemingly purposeless montage, take a drink.
This has already happened.
If the montage or a presenter in some way plugs seeing movies in the theater, take another drink.
Ditto.
If anyone climbs over Steven Spielberg and says they want to make love to the audience in the firmament, finish your drink.
Ditto if anyone says they're the king of the world and starts whooping.
Two sips for "You like me, you really like me."
And hit the bathroom if someone announces on stage their need to pee.
OSCAR PRE-SHOW
If Billy Bush makes a bad pun, take a drink.
If the red carpet crew get breathless over an arrival but can't name someone, take a drink.
If any of the red carpet arrivals snub the entertainment reporters, take a drink. (Three if it's Oprah.)

8:30 Finally! Ooooh, pretty stage.

8:35 OMH this is hilarious

8:28 What the heck. They reinvented it alright...

8:40 Is it just me or does Angelina look irritated every time someone talks to her? "I'm just contractually obligated to mention them five times during the show" Priceless.

8:41 Awesome. You could actually hear the stage techs freaking out "OPEN THE CURTAINS!!!"

8:54 "A writer once said 'He who writes a movie lives forever.'" "The man who said that is now dead."

8:56 Best Original Screenplay: Well, I called that one.

8:57 OMG that guy is like, 20! Wth? How did he write an Oscar worthy screenplay? I feel like a complete failure. Gee thanks random kid who wrote Milk, a super boring but politically on fire film.

8:58 Oh damn, I can't hate him, he just told all the GLBTs that God loves them, which is more than any Christian has ever done on a national stage. Dangit. I really wanted to harbor bitter hatred for him and his accomplishment. Dang dang dang.

8:59 Come on Slumdog!!!!!!!!!!

9:00 Oh, wait, that "kid" who wrote Milk is actually 35.

9:01 SLUMDOG WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! We're 1/1.

9:04 "Every year I do one Dreamworks film, take all the money to the Oscars and bet it on Pixar." (Jack Black)

9:06 I wish they'd had an animation category all along. Wow. WALL-E wins. Was anyone shocked? I thought not.

9:09 How the heck did La Maison en Petite Cubes win? o.O I was thinking....that bunny one from the beginning of WALL-E or the octopus one. But only bc Sarah hates octopi and I wanted to text her that it won.

9:14 Uh oh, black screen. Are my local retards f-ing with my Oscars viewing or did they have to activate their 17 sec delay?

9:15 Trip counter: 1, SJP If I wore a dress that long and had to walk across a floor that slick, I' put tennis shoes on right before I went out

9:20 I'm rooting for Benjamin Button. As they said, it had to span 7 decades and change design every 20 minutes.

9:21 Bah, The Duchess. Period pieces always win. How hard is it to do a period piece? It's only been done a thousand times.

9:24 Random thought (it's gotten boring): I want another Oscars where someone sweeps the top 5. We haven't had that since I started watching.

9:25 Twilight!?

9:26 We need more Hugh!

9:27 Hey, a montage worth watching! I love me my Rom-Coms.

9:33 Slumdog! Slumdog! Slumdog!

9:35 YES! 2/2

9:38 Ewww to Jessica Biel's dress.

9:40 They're promising more Hugh and it sounds like maybe the Slumdog kids.

9:45 Ok, that was a good montage too.

9:46 Whoa, Seth Rogan has lost a lot of weight!

9:52 Yay musicals!

9:57 I love musicals. I want to see them do the Slumdog Millionaire dance. I want to learn that dance. I'm going to learn. Tonight.

9:58 I think I'm a little tipsy.

10:05 Cuba is so great.

10:06 Yeah, because we all have noooooooooooo idea who is winning Best Supporting Actor.

10:07 I think I might cry

10:09 They better not try to play his family off the stage if they take a while, that's all I have to say.

10:10 His mum and sister have awesome dresses.

10:14 Seriously? We're going to tote idealogical beliefs at the Oscars? Again? Boooooooooo! It's about movies you idiot, and yours wasn't even nominated. Ugh, it so irritates me when people ruin my perfect escapes from reality with their reality. Makes me want to punch him.

10:16 I'm googling this presenter dude to see if he's in any movies where I could watch him get hit by a train or eaten by an alien or anything. See what happens when you ruin my shows?!?!?!

10:17 Oh my gosh get him off the stage already, now he's being mean to the poor guys who just won. What a sore loser he is!

10:18 Yay Smile Pinky!

10:19 Ooooh, action film montage next. I'm already forgetting Mr. Rude Presenter Man.

10:25 Man I love my action films. I've actually seen all of those. And I love Will Smith. He is a hot man.

10:26 Booo, I really wanted Ironman to win. I loved Ironman. Benjamin Button looks like one of those movies I'd really look forward to seeing, just to be disappointed and bored for two hours wishing it would end.

10:28 Man this one is hard, but I'm all for a Slumdog Millionaire sweep so SLUMDOG SLUMDOG!!!

10:29 Ah, alright, Dark Knight was good. 2/3 there goes my sweep

10:30 I really don't understand the sound awards.

10:31 YAY SLUMDOG!!! 3/4

10:34 Ok, I understand film editing, and Slumdog Millionaire definitely DESERVES this award. Come on SM!

10:35 YAY!!!!!!! 4/5

10:44 I really like the Academy Humanitarian Awards.

10:52 I went and trimmed my hair in that interlude

10:53 Ok, SM's music makes me happy and sad all at the same time whe I hear it.

10:54 *claps madly* YAYAYAAYAYAYAYA!!!! 5/6

10:55 Oh, I hate it when they try to turn into stand up comedians while accepting their awards. I just wind up feeling bad when no one laughs.

10:56 SM has a 2/3 chance of winning original song...I hope it holds

10:59 Oh I want the third song to win. I love that dance!!!

11:00 I'm going to go buy this off of iTunes

11:01 I love it when my team wins like this. Yes, my team. The Oscars are my sport of choice. And we're 6/7

11:02 If we win all these awards and lose best picture I will be so sad.

11:14 I watched this goodbye montage and realized that even though I don't particularly remember most of them, it won't be too long before that screen is composed completely of actors and directors and producers I grew up watching.

11:19 Come on Danny Boyle.... I'm tired of Ron Howard.

11:20 Of course, my boy, Danny Boyle. 7/8

11:31 Man, I really want Anne Hathaway to win but she's up against such tough competition. I can only hope the voters were divided over Meryl and Angelina. I love Angie but come on, she already has an Oscar.

11:32 Ok, Kate's a good win too. She's deserved it so many times before. So many good performances this year.

11:43 Weren't they expecting Mickey Rourke to win this? Is this an upset?

11:46 Ok, see I'm fine with Sean Penn's plea for homosexual marriage because it has to do with his movie. If he was up there talking about torture or something unrelated to his film, I'd throw a shoe at him.

11:47 BEST PICTURE TIME!!! ...is Steven Australian? I don't get that joke...

11:50 Ok I want to see The Reader now.

11:52 SLUMDOG!!!!!!! We're so close!!!!!!

11:53 YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to buy my copy and see "Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture"

11:58 Ooooh, I'm excited for this year's movies already!
