Ben Stiller looks cute with more hair. More hair for Ben Stiller. Steve Coogan starts out pointing it really bothers Ben Stiller that he is only the third biggest star in the world. Already better than last year's endless Rainn Wilson and Dennis Hopper weirdness.
James Franco, sigh.
Nice one: Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" brought a new category, "Best Girl on Girl Action Disguised as Art."
"Man on Wire" would have been better if he had fallen at the end.
Cut to Lucy Lui with a giant bottle of Jameson in front of her. Party!
Funny bit about Steve Coogan running into Jonathan Demme in Whole Foods and imitating Hannibal Lecter. I bet that happens to him all the time.
People are seriously more dressed up this year. They used wear jeans and stuff.
More James Franco. Could he be nominated in every category? He is so cute! OK, that kid is "Ballast" was awesome, but I am still glad Franco won.
Best supporting actor: James Franco "Milk"
Ben Kingsley and Mary Kate Olsen could have used a screenplay - and some acting lessons - for their best first screenplay award presentation. They were not believeable as humans. And could this be the last time we hear of the existance of "The Wackness"? People said "Milk" was "awfully gay"? Come on!
Best first screenplay: Dustin Lance Black "Milk"
That "Afterschool" movie looked seriously messed up.
Does anyone get the feeling Aaron Eckhart could have worn a bathrobe and looked as good?
Best first feature: "Synedoche, New York" Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Kaufman is a hilariously strange person who would probably be awful to know in real life.
I would think the Independent Spirit Awards is the one place we wouldn't have to see Jessica Alba. Chiwetel Ejiofor, there's a tall drink of water, though.
Best supporting female: Penelope Cruz "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"
"They told me to swear a lot." You do that, Penelope. She then told an awesome story about Woody Allen going to the dermatologist the day she was kissing Scarlett Johansson.
Ugh, they brought back the parody songs from last year. I was really hoping they would not. I rememeber vividly the "Diving Bell and the Butterfly" song from last year. "I can't feel my toes and I can't feel my nose..." FAIL.
Ack! Mickey Rourke just flipped off the camera!
John Cassavates Award: "In Search of a Midnight Kiss"
Nice hooker outfit, Sandra Oh
First f-bombs, 50 minutes in. Six in one speech.
Phew, "Rachel Getting Married" got to have a real song, by Robyn Hitchcock no less. Lucky them. Note to 2009 films, always have music.
Note to anyone who hasn't seen "Rachel Getting Married," it features the coolest wedding ever. Everyone's wedding is lame next to this film.
Oh dear, we appear to have another attempt at a joke. "Joaquin Phoenix" and "Christian Bale." Decent line: "You look like a homeless munchkin!"
Best documentary: "Man on Wire." The documentary winner did not look amused at the intro team.
Jason Bateman and Ellen Page should go out on the road because they are just so damn cute together.
Tarra Riggs looks GORGEOUS.
Best female lead: Melissa Leo "Frozen River"
Melissa Leo's hairstyle and outfit had better be totally different at the Oscars tomorrow or the fashionistas are going to eat her alive. OH MY GOD THOSE GLASSES! IS SHE A SHUT IN? WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH HER? Her speech was sweet and all, but still THOSE GLASSES! MY EYES!
These parody songs are just so undignified. During the one for "Wendy and Lucy," Michelle Williams just looks confused. You aren't the only one, Michelle.
Claire Danes looks mean. Be honest. She looks mean. I bet she yelled at John C. Reilly backstage.
Who is this douche next to the winner of the Someone to Watch Award?
Producers Award: "Frozen River"
Truer Than Fiction Award: "The Order of Myths"
Man, Bradley Cooper is handsome.
Best Screenplay Award: Woody Allen, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"
Rosie Perez just said "I just want to say I hate Penelope Cruz." She then called what she had to read corny. I love these dresses with pockets. They rock.
Best foreign film: "The Class"
Best cinematography: "The Wrestler"
Darren Aronofsky is suck a loveable dork.
Robert Altman Award: "Synedoche, New York"
During "The Wrestler" parody song, they did not get anywhere near Mickey Rourke. I am just trying to imagine the threats. Earlier they showed him writing the name of his dog who just died on the wall.
Best male lead: Mickey Rourke "The Wrestler"
Hey Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the hat, not working. However Mickey is a snappy dresser. His speech starts out talking about how Eric Roberts deserves a second chance, then said he's going to beat Rainn Wilson's ass, and then he finally gets to his speech. The audience yelled to him to thank Marisa Tomei. "Thanks to the wrestling community. We exposed some issues, like bangin' the girl in the a** in the bathroom ..."
Ugh. Then right after John Waters and Zooey Deschanel came on and did stupid banter they were WAY TOO INTO.
Best directing award: Tom McCarthy "The Visitor"
Kudos, Alec Baldwin. "I want back into the movie business so bad. I'm going to get a dog, start working out, and I want to second, whatever Eric Roberts did 15 years ago, let it go!"
Best feature: "The Wrestler"
Hopefully, Mickey Rourke, who is so happy he just picked up Darren Aronofsky, is too happy to beat up Alec Baldwin later.

OMG, Wendy!!! Your comments were priceless. It's like I was sitting in your living room with you and watching it. I didn't even watch the award show, and your play-by-play was all I needed. Can't wait to hear what you think about the Oscars!
