[b]7:32 Jessica[/b]: Where does one view shorts in Albuquerque? 7:32 Comment From pleaides: not on Chance 7:32 Comment From JD: Yay! Animated shorts! The red headed step-child of the Academy Awards.

Close. 7:39 Comment From pleaides: time wasting 7:39 Comment From Hank: he sounds like michael jackson 7:39 Comment From pleaides: why are people laughing [b]7:39 Devin[/b]: Trivia: Sacha Baron Cohen was supposed to do this. But his bit (pregnant and accusing Cameron of fathering the child) was considered too rude. 7:40 Comment From Noz: I want less Stiller 7:41 Comment From Dan: I concur, but I want even less Cohen. 7:41 Comment From Summer: Did anyone else see Young Victoria? That movie was THE WORST….worse than this Stiller bit. [b]7:41 Laura[/b]: I didn’t even like Zoolander, save for the Bowie walk-off. [b]7:42 Laura[/b]: Yay for eccentric makeup artists. [b]7:43 Devin[/b]: See. Some fat makeup dude shows up in a beret. It’s not working. Jackson’s the only living man who can rock it. [b]7:44 Laura[/b]: K.

[b]7:49 Laura[/b]: Where’s your party at? An old west boarding house? [b]7:50 Laura[/b]: Sorry, I missed it. What’s the catfood line from? [b]7:50 Devin[/b]: District 9 7:51 Comment From Summer: Oops, you looked at too many, and you saw my Old West Boarding house photos…. [b]7:51 Laura[/b]: This guy is the definition of earnest. [b]7:51 Devin[/b]: Best adapted screenplay wins for most humble acceptance speech. 7:52 Comment From pleaides: good one steve [b]7:52 Devin[/b]: Aaand cut to all the black people in the audience.

Line produced by a local. Music written by a guy from Hobbs. 8:00 Comment From Noz: Yup Alton Walpole was the Line Producer. He’s awesome. [b]8:00 Laura[/b]: Summer: You’re an actor. What are your thoughts on the "Actress" awards in the Oscars? 8:00 Comment From JD: Cool! There’s been so many I can’t keep track. [b]8:02 Devin[/b]: Not quite getting the "Podium in the middle of the audience" thing. Why not a catwalk? 8:02 Comment From Summer: Until the roles are all mixed up, and we’ve got women playing men and men playing women, and lots more homosexual couples in films, and all that jazz, there’s no use in combining the categories. 8:03 Comment From Summer: All 5 pro actresses in the room feel like the categories should be second. 8:03 Comment From Noz: Tyler Perry and Sarah Jessica Parker. That’s what we’re supposed to be excited to look forward to. 8:03 Comment From Summer: Uh, separate. 8:03 Comment From Dan: They showed Jackson & his beret [b]8:03 Devin[/b]: Spirit Awards hands awards to Male Performer and Female Performer. [b]8:04 Jessica[/b]: I don’t think that beret is so tough. 8:04 Comment From pleaides: huh, i never had a beef with seperate categories. they bring different attributes/ 8:04 Comment From Summer: The consensus in the room seems to be that until roles available fore women are as awesome, plentiful, strong and excellent as they are for men, the Best Actress category should stay. [b]8:05 Devin[/b]: Combining actor and actress categories would result in half as many nominations and statues. I don’t know too many people in Hollwood who would be down for that. 8:05 Comment From Summer: Totally agree. [b]8:06 Jessica[/b]: What kind of name is Sigourney? 8:06 Comment From pleaides: men and women can be as different as documentary and animation. [b]8:07 Devin[/b]: Avatar gets it’s first statue of the night. Expect more. 8:07 Comment From Laura: Argh, Internet Explorer kicked me. 8:08 Comment From Laura: I was thinking of the Spirit Awards … having seperate categories without the "Actress" wording. 8:08 Comment From pleaides: uh oh, self indulgent [b]8:08 Jessica[/b]: Of course you ask a semantical question, Laura. 8:09 Comment From pleaides: sara looks awful by the way. 8:10 Comment From Dan: And she looked good when? 8:10 Comment From Noz: Speaking on the Spirit Awards. The director of "Easier with Practice", Kyle Alvarez, shot in Albuquerque, won the award for best upcoming director. 8:10 Comment From pleaides: true. but she has on so much fake tan. ugh 8:10 Comment From JD: SJP’s ancestor was a witch! [b]8:10 Devin[/b]: Hosts make a horse joke, Sarah Jessica Parker shows up. Coincidence? 8:10 Comment From pleaides: put some meat on your bones, woman 8:10 Comment From Dan: I think not! [b]8:11 Jessica[/b]: Now THAT’S a tough beret! 8:11 Comment From Summer: That’s the best dress I’ve seen tonight! 8:11 Comment From JD: She has Spock hair. 8:11 Comment From Summer: Sandy Powell, not Sarah JP. 8:11 Comment From pleaides: i love how parisian (sp) she looks 8:12 Comment From pleaides: wtf is that dress?! 8:12 Comment From Laura: Best Actor in a Female Role 8:13 Comment From pleaides: go gaby bo 8:13 Comment From pleaides: go.

[b]8:17 Jessica[/b]: I made popcorn with truffle oil, garlic and Panola. 8:17 Comment From pleaides: what’s panola? 8:17 Comment From Summer: I’m drinking Sofia out of a tiny can with a straw. 8:17 Comment From Dan: White or black truffle oil? 8:18 Comment From pleaides: that was awesome! [b]8:18 Marisa[/b]: So where are the Oscars streaming live online? 8:18 Comment From pleaides: are you trying to one up my cornbread and miller lite? 8:18 Comment From JD: When are Steve and Alec doing a movie? [b]8:18 Marisa[/b]: And who is sporting the most cleavage? [b]8:18 nick brown[/b]: omg, the twilight girl. [b]8:18 Devin[/b]: Should be live on our website. [b]8:18 Laura[/b]: Who’s the dude? [b]8:19 Devin[/b]: Taylor Lautner’s face is made of Silly Putty. 8:19 Comment From pleaides: she means the actual show. if you don’t have a tv [b]8:19 nick brown[/b]: I’m streaming them live off the computer and piping them to my tv – they show up on channel 7. [b]8:20 Jessica[/b]: Oh, sorry, I was eating. White truffle oil, but I have some unopened black too. Which is better? Panola is a hot sauce made in Lake Providence, Louisiana, where my Mom grew up. And yes, I am trying to one up you. I am also drinking my boyfriend’s Shiner Bock. [b]8:20 Laura[/b]: Spoiler alert for all horror movies ever. [b]8:21 Laura[/b]: White truf oil is usually synthetic [b]8:21 Laura[/b]: I mean, oftentimes 8:21 Comment From pleaides: what horror movie was jen aniston in? [b]8:21 Laura[/b]: Leprechaun! 8:22 Comment From Noz: Edward Scissorhands was a horror movie? [b]8:22 Jessica[/b]: I thought it was all synthetic. [b]8:22 Devin[/b]: Troll 2 = Aniston 8:22 Comment From Marisa: I think I’m seeing it, is Chris Harrison talking? 8:22 Comment From pleaides: i dare anyone to stump devin [b]8:23 Laura[/b]: No way, it was leprech… How the hell do you spell it? short scary Irish gold-hoarder. 8:23 Comment From Dan: Not synthetic, mlostly truffle oil + olive oil. [b]8:23 Devin[/b]: Sorry. You are correct. Some tiny creature was trying to kill her. Troll, Leprechaun, whatever. 8:24 Comment From pleaides: hah! devin screwed up! [b]8:24 Devin[/b]: Already. [b]8:24 Marisa[/b]: I think I found it! Are we looking at Kate Winslet? [b]8:25 Laura[/b]: Dan, Jessica can’t afford the kush stuff you blaze up with. [b]8:25 Devin[/b]: You’re watching the Oscars from 1998 [b]8:25 nick brown[/b]: I was looking for troll 2 on netflix – can’t stream it [b]8:25 Marisa[/b]: Really? It’s not red carpet shots? [b]8:25 Laura[/b]: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/464601 8:25 Comment From JD: Was this guy in one of the Matrix movies? 8:26 Comment From Noz: no he trains tigers 8:26 Comment From pleaides: hahaha [b]8:26 nick brown[/b]: that’s exactly what we were saying (matrix 2) 8:27 Comment From pleaides: sigfried again [b]8:27 Jessica[/b]: Yeah, I can’t afford it.

Now the argument in the room is: who can wear gray? Just blondes, or everyone? 8:29 Comment From Noz: Black chicks look great in grey [b]8:29 Devin[/b]: Aaand here are all the nerds we wouldn’t allow in the room.

[b]8:32 Marisa[/b]: I think so. 8:32 Comment From Noz: It’s a Yaz commercial now [b]8:33 Marisa[/b]: Dude, ABC’s not live streaming the event on their site. [b]8:33 Laura[/b]: Lame. Why the heck wouldn’t they? [b]8:33 Marisa[/b]: Seems like it’s actually kind of hard to find a live stream, which is so 90s business model. [b]8:33 Jessica[/b]: I wonder how the artist Yaz feels about the birth control Yaz. [b]8:34 Marisa[/b]: I think they want you to watch it on TV. [b]8:34 Laura[/b]: Any ScoJo sightings yet? who was watching the red carpet portion? [b]8:35 Marisa[/b]: They just introduced Sandra Bullock, right? Or am I still watching Oscars from 10 years ago? 8:35 Comment From Noz: That dress would have been great for last years gay pride float [b]8:35 Jessica[/b]: Haven’t seen her, but I was only half paying attention to it.

[b]8:41 Marisa[/b]: hahaha 8:41 Comment From JD: michael jackson died? [b]8:42 Jessica[/b]: She and Michael Jackson both died of Hollywooditis. 8:42 Comment From Noz: Michael Jackson is the best card to have in your hand when you’re playing Apples to Apples and "Dead" is the green card drawn. 8:43 Comment From rob: I’d much rather hear James Taylor than Michael Jackson. 8:44 Comment From pleaides: apples to apples. i’m lost [b]8:45 Jessica[/b]: Yeah, I think I could go for the rest of my life without hearing Michael Jackson after the post-mortem inundation. 8:45 Comment From Noz: Ladies and Gentleman, Jennifer Lopez and her ass [b]8:45 Marisa[/b]: That’s a serious side poof. [b]8:45 Laura[/b]: Pleaides: A2A = word card game. For kids and stoned adults. [b]8:45 Jessica[/b]: Apples to Apples is one of the best boxed party games. 8:46 Comment From Summer: JLo’s dress is so big, that guy is leaning over to get in the frame. 8:46 Comment From Noz: What first J. Taylor now this shit [b]8:46 Laura[/b]: It’s totally the night of the Barbie Dream Wedding Princess Dress.[b]8:46 Jessica[/b]: Why have there been so few performances tonight? 8:47 Comment From JD: this feels weird 8:48 Comment From Bill M: I’m afraid BAD things will be said about this dance number tomorrow… [b]8:48 Devin[/b]: Aaaaan the interpretive dance of "The Hurt LOcker" begins. [b]8:48 Laura[/b]: A dance crew? Poppin and locking to a melodramatic score? 8:48 Comment From Dan: This is EXACTLY why…..there have been so few. 8:49 Comment From Summer: The idea is to have choreography that causes you to feel the same way the film did, while you sit and listen to the score. So if you felt bad during the Hurt Locker choreo, it’s working. [b]8:49 Jessica[/b]: I wish popping and locking would go the way of the madison. [b]8:49 Laura[/b]: As winner of America’s Best Dance Crew, you get to do all the dance numbers at the Oscars. 8:49 Comment From JD: I’m ready for a review from 3 judges sitting off camera. [b]8:49 Devin[/b]: Overheard at Academy meeting two months ago: "The kids love that breakdancing stuff. How can we get that in to the show?" 8:50 Comment From rob: hey – James Taylor didn’t dance , This crap is Michael Jackson’s fault 8:50 Comment From Bill M: It’s getting even stranger… 8:50 Comment From Noz: This has lasted 5 minutes too long 8:50 Comment From Summer: Breakdancing moves have been worked into every piece, whether it belongs or not! Good call Devin. 8:51 Comment From pleaides: what is the madison? [b]8:51 Jessica[/b]: Those red shirts clash with everything. [b]8:51 Devin[/b]: We gave up a Best Song medley for this? [b]8:51 Laura[/b]: Alright Devin: Is it too early to call worst Oscar production value ever? [b]8:52 Laura[/b]: Clooney thought it was ass. [b]8:52 Jessica[/b]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MiMrtI3aQ4Actually, I wish the madison would come back. 8:53 Comment From pleaides: oh , oh! i like the madison! [b]8:53 Laura[/b]: Ach. Bubble of tinitus ring around the mics all night. Terrible. [b]8:54 Devin[/b]: All these Hollywood people think you need to lean into the mics to be heard. [b]8:54 Devin[/b]: THIS IS TECHNICAL EDITING!!! 8:55 Comment From pleaides: what does the MEAN? [b]8:55 Laura[/b]: These presenters went twinsies 8:55 Comment From Noz: I’ve been bored by this for about 30 minutes [b]8:55 Jessica[/b]: Last night’s OUTstanding Awards were way better than this. [b]8:55 Marisa[/b]: Yeah! Where’s Kanye West when you need him? [b]8:56 Marisa[/b]: He should jump up on stage and take the technical editors’ Oscars away. [b]8:56 Jessica[/b]: No, where’s that drunk lady in the purple windbreaker? 8:56 Comment From pleaides: we only want to see pretty people. get off the stage 8:57 Comment From JD: did anyone just hear thunder? [b]8:57 Laura[/b]: lol, Jessica [b]8:57 Marisa[/b]: I did! [b]8:57 Laura[/b]: Yes! Thunder in the Valley! 8:57 Comment From pleaides: i did too. big sky, we all live in different places [b]8:58 Marisa[/b]: First female director in history? [b]8:58 Marisa[/b]: Didn’t Sophia Coppola win not that long ago? [b]8:58 Devin[/b]: Could be the first. 8:58 Comment From Noz: I hope not she’s terrible [b]8:58 Marisa[/b]: No! Didn’t she win for Lost in Translation? [b]8:59 Devin[/b]: No on Sophia. Though she was nominated. [b]8:59 Marisa[/b]: Does it amaze anyone else that it’s 2010 and it could be the first Oscar win for a female director? 9:00 Comment From JD: Modern Family is a great show – you should try it. 9:00 Comment From Summer: It’s amazing, and it won’t be "that big of a deal" 9:00 Comment From Summer: But it is a pretty big deal. [b]9:00 Marisa[/b]: I don’t think Avatar should win best pic because it’s a ripoff of many other films. [b]9:00 Laura[/b]: Clearly, they need a Best Directress category 9:00 Comment From pleaides: what do you think that means, marisa? [b]9:00 Devin[/b]: Copolla won Best Original Screenplay. [b]9:01 Marisa[/b]: Shot for shot, sometimes, it’s FernGully [b]9:01 Laura[/b]: That’s low 9:01 Comment From Hank: Lost in translation was pretentious as hell [b]9:01 Marisa[/b]: I’m pretty sure it means Hollywood is horrifically sexist. 9:02 Comment From pleaides: do you have some favorite female directors? 9:02 Comment From Noz: Nice FernGully joke Marisa. Occasionally I author FernGully jokes of my own. [b]9:03 Devin[/b]: Bigelow has actually done some great stuff: Near Dark, Dark Blue, Point Break [b]9:03 Jessica[/b]: Penelope Spheeris! [b]9:03 Marisa[/b]: What you got, Noz? Let’s hear some FernGully. And actually, it was one Amy Dalness who brought that initial FernGully comparison to my attention. 9:03 Comment From Noz: If you throw out a Troll In Central Park joke you’ll have my heart [b]9:04 Devin[/b]: Spheeris until she directed Little Rascals. [b]9:04 Marisa[/b]: I thought Lost in Translation was boring except for the occasional moment when Bill Murray was being awkwardly funny. [b]9:05 Jessica[/b]: Aside from The Virgin Suicides, Coppola’s films are about being a poor little rich girl, which is really irritating. [b]9:05 Devin[/b]: The Cove was a mindblower. You should see it. [b]9:05 Marisa[/b]: Did The Cove just win best doc feature? [b]9:05 Devin[/b]: Yes. [b]9:07 Devin[/b]: Snuggie! 9:07 Comment From pleaides: i feel like the hosts haven’t done anything [b]9:07 Jessica[/b]: Snuggies! [b]9:07 Jessica[/b]: Except cuddle and wear snuggies? [b]9:08 Marisa[/b]: Wow. Feature Documentaries comes before Film Editing. 9:08 Comment From romaine: dolphins win! [b]9:08 Jessica[/b]: Those gloves are weird. The whole look is weird. 9:08 Comment From Laura: Penny Marshall! … Just kidding! 9:08 Comment From romaine: dolphins win! 9:08 Comment From Laura: SNL moment … Baldwin and Martin in matching slankets on the coach [b]9:09 Marisa[/b]: Wow. I just looked up some stuff on female directors. Did you know Mary Harron directed American Psycho? That movie is messed up. [b]9:09 Laura[/b]: couch [b]9:10 Marisa[/b]: Monster was directed by Patty Jenkins [b]9:10 Devin[/b]: Harron also directed Pet Semetery. [b]9:10 Laura[/b]: Creepy women directors 9:10 Comment From Noz: That stage looks like the BART Station at SFO [b]9:11 Marisa[/b]: Awesome. [b]9:11 Devin[/b]: Good call, Noz [b]9:11 Marisa[/b]: There’s lots of cute ones, too. I’m only picking out the stuff I liked. [b]9:11 Marisa[/b]: Looks like Kathryn Bigelow, who’s up this year for Hurt Locker, also did Point Break in 1991. 9:12 Comment From pleaides: if there are plenty of great women authors, there have to plenty of great women directors 9:12 Comment From pleaides: what’s up with the ladies doing surfing movies? [b]9:12 Marisa[/b]: Penny Marshall did A League of Their Own, which I really like. [b]9:13 Marisa[/b]: Boys Don’t Cry was directed by Kimberly Peirce. [b]9:13 Devin[/b]: One of my fave female B-movie directors is Katt Shea Ruben: Stripped to Kill, Poison Ivy, The Rage: Carrie 2. She starred in Barbarian Queen and Psycho III too! [b]9:14 Marisa[/b]: Nice. [b]9:14 Marisa[/b]: Looks like Kathryn Bigelow is also a painter. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000941/bio [b]9:15 Laura[/b]: Pedro Almodovar and Quinten Tarrentino co-presenting! [b]9:15 Marisa[/b]: Tarantino is a douche. [b]9:15 Jessica[/b]: Didn’t realize Almodovar spoke English. 9:15 Comment From JD: Pedro looks kinda like Fred Armison from SNL [b]9:16 Marisa[/b]: Someone should make a poll question about who is better (Almadovar or Tarantino).[b]9:17 Jessica[/b]: Almodovar, duh! 9:17 Comment From pleaides: duh! [b]9:17 Marisa[/b]: Totes. 9:17 Comment From Summer: Agreed. 9:17 Comment From Summer: Someone at this party just applauded Almodovar for pronouncing the title correctly…. 9:17 Comment From pleaides: i do like all of there movies, though [b]9:18 Laura[/b]: Anyone seen any of the foriegn films up for noms? 9:18 Comment From Romaine: uhhh I’m not a fan of Tarantino, but almodovar is ugh…all hysterical women. god. 9:19 Comment From Noz: I was peeing… what award was just handed out 9:19 Comment From pleaides: ya piss ya miss, noz [b]9:19 Laura[/b]: Films That Hate America 9:20 Comment From pleaides: avatar was soooo annoying. 9:20 Comment From Noz: Is there anything grosser than two aliens making out? [b]9:20 Jessica[/b]: Two aliens having sex. [b]9:21 Laura[/b]: Breakdance-ballet to film scores 9:22 Comment From Noz: Two aliens pop, lock and droppin’ to a movies score while having alien sex [b]9:22 Jessica[/b]: Oh my god. Sea Ray song from almost ten years ago in a Coke commercial! 9:22 Comment From Summer: Damn, that was the joke I was about to break out, but I was distracted. [b]9:22 Laura[/b]: And the casts of all John Hughes’ movies combined in 2010 9:23 Comment From Summer: So, like what we saw earlier? 9:23 Comment From pleaides: i’m having fun adding to my netflix during all of this. strange days is now on my queue [b]9:23 Laura[/b]: precisely 9:23 Comment From Noz: Dude local commercials are so much weirder in SoTex [b]9:23 Marisa[/b]: Strange Days was great! One of my favorite movies. [b]9:24 Jessica[/b]: I think music in commercials is proof that radio is totally irrelevant. [b]9:24 Marisa[/b]: Not only because of Juliet Lewis’ cover of that PJ Harvey song. [b]9:24 Laura[/b]: Noz — Is it all Crystal Lard and Lone Star? 9:24 Comment From Noz: Michelle Pheifer is still alive [b]9:24 Laura[/b]: Pfeiffer! She’s back from the dead. [b]9:25 Laura[/b]: Jinx 9:25 Comment From pleaides: that lady in the middle looks 20 years older tonight [b]9:25 Jessica[/b]: Do the local commercials talk about how, in Texas, everything is big? 9:25 Comment From Noz: you owe me a lone star 9:25 Comment From pleaides: like the stars at night [b]9:26 Laura[/b]: All Jeff Bridges is missing is a Col. Sanders tie [b]9:26 Marisa[/b]: Whoa! They just took my live stream off the air! 9:26 Comment From pleaides: LOL! 9:26 Comment From rob: Michelle Pfiefer was so hot with Jeff Bridges in Fabulous Baker Boys and still hot [b]9:26 Marisa[/b]: Network bastards. 9:26 Comment From pleaides: colnel angus 9:26 Comment From Summer: I’m not sure about this "I worked with this person and can vouch for what a good person they are" stuff. It has nothing to do with their acting skills in the film. [b]9:26 Laura[/b]: Pfieffer just made Bridges teary eyed
