by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 01:31

Ok Seth, already nailed it. He made Tommy Lee Jones laugh!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 01:33

One thing I heard - ALL of the actors who have played James Bond are supposed to be at the show tonight - that's mind boggling! Looking forward to that and Adele singing tonight!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 01:51

Ok I guess it's all me...

Christoph Watlz just won for Best Supporting Actor!

by melbert Mon 25 Feb 2013, 01:52

I'm here Lorna! Great idea! Wow, Christoph sure was choked up.

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 01:55

Im here too,
Im enjoying Seth and Charlize/Channing dancing.

Have you noticed that George/Stacy are sitting front row, center.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:01

Ooo, Brave won for best animated movie.

And look - it's another guy in a kilt!

(Seth's father is also wearing a kilt tonight).

if Sean Connery comes out in a kilt it will be a threesome! Brahahaha!

Oh wait, maybe I should have said a three-peat.

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:04

If Sean comes out in a kilt, I will faint, being Scottish love a man in a kilt, also hes my favourite Bond.

Another favourite moment re Oscars

Right after their big moment #oscars instagr.am/p/WIuTGkyULz/

"Only 16 years till she's too old for Clooney" - who I noticed opened up the mini-bottle!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:09

He's a good sport I think, can take a joke.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:11

I laughed really loudly at that one!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:13

OMG laughing my ass off on the music when you go over in your speech.

First JAWS then the Magnificent Seven. This show is really hysterical for anyone who is into old time Hollywood films! Which most of the Academy is considering many are in their 70 and 80s!

Me, I'm not that old but I watched so many old films as a kid that this is just so much fun right now!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:20

Im with you - I must have watched every old movie there is when I was young - this is entertaining!!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:26

Okay - now Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger, now that's Class!!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:26

Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger LIVE HOLYSHIT!

Shirley is 76!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

I've just gotten chills!!!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:27

Exactly - how are they going to beat that?

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:29

Well both Barbra Streisand and Adele are scheduled to perform so this is going to be one hell of a night!!!

I'm so glad I'm taping this!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:33

Oh bite me, knew I forgot to do something, shall set the recorder when its repeated on TV tonight.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:39

LOL!

by silly girl Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:41

I loved Shirley Bassey

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:44

Shirley is a classic, looking forward to Barbara Streisand too

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:47

I think I could fry ants in the golden reflection of the glow of George Clooney.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:53

Well Amour just one Best Foreign Film so I'm thinking they won't be winning Best Picture.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:53

Ok and now I'm really impressed that they said that the orchestra is performing live at a different venue! I thought they were at the same venue and they're not!

Fascinating!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:57

Just started getting chills again with the intro to Dreamgirl's And I Am Telling You - which obviously Jennifer Hudson is going to sing! Yup there she is!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 02:59

Now that lady can sing,

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:05

Okay if the Les Miserable ensemble didn't give you goose gumps, you must be sleeping!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:07

Trivia about Jennifer Hudson - she was a contestant on Season 6 American Idol.

What's he reaching for? hmmmn

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:09

I've been just one mass of goose bumps all night - I don't think this is healthy tho.

Hope I don't have a massive OMG! related heart-attack!

Evening news promos would be - "Seth MacFarlane and the Oscars kill a woman. Details at 11."

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:14

Now I'm laughing out loud!!!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:36

Adele - Skyfall - She's just so beautiful and she's shimmering like a night sky full of stars!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:37

Her voice is incredible and yep she's shimmering, totally appropriate

Trivia: Adele took only 1 take to record that song for the movie - done in under 10 minutes.

by melbert Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:39

just wonderful!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:41

Wow that's awesome - one take for Adele!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:41

Is it me - does it seem like there is a spread of awards? Not one film is getting the lion's share of awards and I think that shows how many great films were nominated this year!

by Pink Ice 1990 Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:51

Love Nicole. Not my favorite dress but she herself is particularly pretty tonight.

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:53

Yeah I think you are right, some years its as if one film dominates, that's not happening yet. So hoping Argo gets best picture, if only to see the guys up on stage.

Also hoping I get back from school in time to watch it unfold.

Bugger - just heard that George Clooney is coming up, well hope my kiddies know their way home....

Damn theminis - one mention of George and (as they say here) you kicked your kids to the curb.

I'm still laughing at this one!

Can only imagine if George showed up in OZ!

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 03:59

George in Oz - kids, what kids, I don't have kids!!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 04:02

Weren't we just speaking about Memories earlier today?

And now here's Barbra singing it live on the Oscars.

What an amazing show!

by silly girl Mon 25 Feb 2013, 04:05

Song is beautiful!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 04:08

Oh I was also wracking my brain trying to think of the music that played during In Memorium - finally someone tweeted it "Somewhere In Time" that film had the most beautiful music too!

Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves starred!

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 04:36

PerezHilton has the Bond section including Shirley Bassey online. Hopefully, this embed works! Fingers crossed!

Again, Shirley Bassey is 76 years old and she nails Goldfinger as if she were singing 40+ years ago!

by Katiedot Mon 25 Feb 2013, 04:37

Did you think so? I thought she sounded a little flat.

Anyway, this is what they were eating:

Curious about what the a-listers have been eating tonight at the ceremony? Sure you are. The hors d'oeuvres include Smoked Salmon Oscars, Duck Wontons, Mini Kobe-Style Burgers or Assorted Pizzas. Among main dishes are Baked Potato and Caviar, Steamed Red Snapper with Thai Spice, and Truffle Macaroni and Cheese. Desserts include Mango Crumble, Huckleberry Macarons, and Bon Bons. There are also Concord Grape Lollipops, Violet Velvet Truffles, and Everyone's Oscar Favorite Peanut Butter Chocolate Pop Rock Pop, which is vegetarian.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 05:04

Well I'm bummed a bit - thought the James Bonds were going to be there! Phooey!!

And sorry about the Bond tribute video clip have no idea how to stop the auto start.

Nevermind - I checked the embed code and fixed it. I didn't know it but I think I've got a little tech in me after all!

How adorable was Hugh Jackman immediately getting out of his seat to help Jennifer Lawrence when she tripped going up the steps? Hard camera angle but no-one else came into shot to help her up.

by LornaDoone Mon 25 Feb 2013, 05:30

Katiedot wrote:Did you think so? I thought she sounded a little flat.

Here's an earlier version. I think she sounds pretty much the same to me. Maybe my ears are flat! HA!

by Katiedot Mon 25 Feb 2013, 06:15

No, probably my ears. I wasn't watching, just getting dressed and doing my make up.

by theminis Mon 25 Feb 2013, 07:40

On a side note, many hours ago, when the Oscars Red Carpet just began, my husband walked into the room and changed the channel to the Nascars, apparently there was some car crash he wanted to see. Yeah well, he's limping but he'll live....
