Tempted to pull an all nighter and watch the oscars as I don't have work tomorrow. Is anyone else or am I a fool who will be sorely disappointed?
I'm up obviously. I've got no idea who has won what since my TV provider (Hippo) doesn't stretch to programs from anywhere outside Malaysia apart from Aus.

why are you missing it?
I am just updating the BBC site at work - will watch it when it comes on TV over here, usually on cable, in a couple of weeks 
We don't have a TV. Usually I stay over and watch it with a friend but had work tonight and a conference with DS's teacher tomorrow.
I guess the whole thing will be online tomorrow but it's just not the same! <wails>

oh, hold on...do you mean you are supposed to actually be there, in Hollywood, and you're missing it because you are preggers and couldn't fit into a frock? 
are you, like, famous? <narrows eyes>
Hahaha! Oh Lord, I would make SUCH a fool of myself if I ever went to the Oscars. I would die.
Jennifer Lawrence (who won, yay!) said that she became such a babbling idiot when she met John Stamos at a party that he asked her if she was on mushrooms.

Silver Linings was overrated IMHO. I'm glad she won though. I've already forgotten who she was up against!

Ooh, I take it back, I actually loved Naomi Watts's dress - slightly weird boob thing but overall but sensational colour and fit.
Anne Hathaway, why would you wear that thing on the night you know you're going to win an Oscar? Very poor choice.
Jennifers Aniston & Garner - lovely choices. Sally Field - magnificent.
Jessica Chastain - not really feeling the colour or the cut. Jessica Lawrence - how many loo rolls was she concealing under there exactly? No wonder she tripped.
Just finished watching loved when Hugh jackman pops up to help Jennifer Lawrence he us such a gent. So pleased Ben affeck won did shed a tear.

i've just taken a long haul flight and was totally bored (dropped off, mouth wide open) by Lincoln. Don't want to watch Pi. Rest was rubbishy shite EXCEPT the most wonderful documentary/film that I so want to watch again on a big screen and I will buy because I don't want to lose it. Searching for Sugarman. What a wonderful story.

Was a bit disappointed Daniel Day Lewis predictably won best actor. Saying that I haven't actually seen the film, but have assumed it's a performance that ticks all the Academy Award boxes.

Always a good idea to watch films not-nominated. Searching for Sugarman is one of those special ones. Another one would be Man on Wire, again, SUCH a special film.

Yes, politics Frogman. Think it's a film that would bore me as well.

Jane Fonda- waa-waa-wee-wuu! Amazing.
Quentin T...just looks more and more odd- has he had a facelift?
Christopher W- Ahem...hello 
Samuel L Jackson- looked like he was going to sit down and read a story on Cbebbies
<<yes...Kelly Osbourne must be quaking in her shoes given my critique>>

I think Jennifer Anniston (although not a fan) is looking stupendous in red. Are those of you decrying her taste just being anti-Anniston?
