[7:49:14 PM] Laremy says: Last page guys! Started from the bottom now we here!
[7:49:37 PM] Brad says: Let’s hope this last hour or so is the best hour… or so.
[7:50:05 PM] Brad says: Best Documentary will be presented by Jennifer Aniston and David Oyelowo.
[7:50:17 PM] Brad says: Citizenfour or Last Days in Vietnam?
[7:50:55 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Citizenfour
[7:51:33 PM] Brad says: Solid doc, but seeing most of it in news broadcasts diminished its effect a little bit. No fault of the movie’s, just saying.
[7:52:11 PM] Laremy says: 13 for 16 and got a strong spleen.
[7:55:37 PM] Laremy says: It’s getting harder and harder to Oscar as this night rolls on. But Imma keep it strong for you, the adoring public.
[7:56:24 PM] Laremy says: Brad just suggested we do a drum circle. Weird.
[7:57:53 PM] Brad says: They must already regret starting this locked box of Oscar predictions. They could cut it and save time, why don’t they do that? Right now!
[7:58:18 PM] Laremy says: Even the seat warmers are tall, blonde, and whiter than the driven snow.
[7:58:31 PM] Laremy says: This NPH joke is amazingly bad and it’s been going on for our entire lives.
[7:58:33 PM] Brad says: Octavia Spencer will now introduce Common and John Legend’s performance of soon-to-be Oscar winning song “Glory” from Selma.
[8:02:56 PM] Brad says: David Oyelowo clearly felt that one.
[8:04:47 PM] Brad says: Idina Menzel and John Travolta now join the stage and wow, he’s getting awfully touchy.
[8:05:12 PM] Brad says: They’re awarding Best Original Song… we know this….
[8:05:35 PM] Laremy says: I’m counting Glory already. 14-17.
[8:06:26 PM] Brad says:
“Glory” for Selma takes Best Original Song
[8:10:24 PM] Brad says: Good move not to play Legend and Common off the stage Academy.
[8:10:47 PM] Laremy says: What is Lady Gaga going to sing? “Poker Face”?
[8:12:12 PM] Laremy says: Is “The Slap” going to win anything?
[8:13:00 PM] Brad says: Scarlett Johnasson, I’m assuming will introduce Lady Gah-Gah
[8:15:29 PM] Brad says: Does Sound of Music need an homage from Lady Gah-Gah? Cut this and no one would have noticed.
[8:17:10 PM] Laremy says: About time The Oscars got around to homaging The Sound of Music.
[8:19:45 PM] Laremy says: The only way this could be more relevant is if they played it through a gramophone.
[8:20:48 PM] Brad says: Julie Andrews arrives to give Lady Gah-Gah a hug.
[8:22:09 PM] Brad says: They should play off some of these intros.
[8:22:35 PM] Brad says: Here comes Best Original Score… Budapest or Theory of Everything?
[8:23:45 PM] Brad says: And the winner is Alexandre Desplat for The Grand Budapest Hotel, happy to get that one wrong.
[8:24:05 PM] Laremy says: 15-18 and with all the chalk left on the board this is shaping up to be a nice night.
[8:25:20 PM] Brad says: Sort of surprising that’s Desplat’s first win, a lot of great scores under his belt.
[8:26:10 PM] Brad says: On a side note, this is my worst year predicting the Oscars… ever.
[8:26:15 PM] Brad says: Kudos to me!
[8:27:07 PM] Laremy says: That Inside Out movie looks kinda good.
[8:27:34 PM] Brad says: I think Budapest is even more likely to win Original Screenplay now, but any chance it swoops in and takes Picture? Hard to imagine without acting noms, but wow that would be fun.
[8:28:00 PM] Brad says: Boyhood, Birdman or Budapest… I would take either of those three to win Picture and go away happy.
[8:29:59 PM] Brad says: Eddie Murphy, out to present some screenplay awards.
[8:30:19 PM] Brad says: First up, Original Screenplay…
[8:31:25 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Birdman written by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo
[8:31:39 PM] Brad says: Hey, look, I actually got that one right.
[8:32:03 PM] Laremy says: That’s that, Birdman looking solid for a Director / Picture sweeparooni.
[8:33:23 PM] Laremy says: Happy to see a dog named Larry get a thanks!
[8:34:17 PM] Brad says: Now Oprah(?) will present Adapted Screenplay…
[8:35:15 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is The Imitation Game written by Graham Moore
[8:35:30 PM] Brad says: Look at that, I’m getting a few of these correct. A bit of a shocker.
[8:35:34 PM] Laremy says: 16 for 20, but I really need Keaton to come through.
[8:36:08 PM] Brad says: Oprah’s intro to this category was very, very weird.
[8:37:02 PM] Brad says: I interviewed Graham Moore, read it here, I think it’s pretty good. Good guy, good speech.
[8:37:04 PM] Laremy says: Good speech. Save the terrible jokes if at all possible NPH.
[8:39:57 PM] Laremy says: I can see the finish line and my delicious bed. Brad is basically injecting coffee into my veins at this point.
[8:40:11 PM] Brad says: I think I’m 14/20 so far… but I guess if I get all the biggies correct (including screenplay awards) that’s something of a silver lining. Right? Hello?
[8:41:39 PM] Brad says: Next presenter is Ben Affleck to present Best Director
[8:41:49 PM] Brad says: Linklater? Inarritu?
[8:42:35 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman)
[8:44:00 PM] Laremy says: Ball jokes are the new black.
[8:44:48 PM] Laremy says: I liked this speech better when it was called NyQuil.
[8:46:15 PM] Laremy says: Nice to see one Best Director winner, Ben Affleck for Argo, present to another. Hmmm? What’s that?
[8:48:17 PM] Brad says: Best Actor is next and they aren’t even asking NPH to introduce it… Cate Blanchett will announce our winner though. Redmayne or Keaton? Oh man.
[8:48:27 PM] Laremy says: This is the toughest call of the evening …
[8:51:06 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything)
[8:51:29 PM] Laremy says: HOW DO YOU GIVE THAT TO EDDIE REDMAYNE??!!!
[8:51:36 PM] Laremy says: Ok, whatever.
[8:51:42 PM] Brad says: I’m actually mad I got that one right.
[8:53:21 PM] Brad says: Look at that, I even put the wrong picture in there!
[8:53:32 PM] Brad says: Shhhhh… just let me cool down.
[8:54:07 PM] Brad says: Next up Julianne Moore’s Best Actress win, with Matthew McConaughey presenting and, of course, saying “alright”.
[8:55:28 PM] Laremy says: That really took the wind out of my sails.
[8:56:33 PM] Laremy says: Here’s the Julianne Moore win she’s been owed for about a decade.
[8:57:03 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Julianne Moore (Still Alice)… but is she still Alice?
[8:57:14 PM] Brad says: Matty McC sure looks like Shia LaBeouf
[8:57:36 PM] Brad says: Poor Rosamund Pike, she deserved that award and I’m pretty sure everyone knows it. Even Moore.
[9:00:26 PM] Laremy says: It’s gotta be odd being in a category you know you can’t win.
[9:00:45 PM] Brad says: The show is running over and this joke continues.
[9:00:47 PM] Laremy says: How are we still doing this joke? It seems impossible.
[9:01:00 PM] Laremy says: We were so young when this joke started.
[9:01:04 PM] Brad says: Even the Price Waterhouse guy wants this to end.
[9:01:20 PM] Brad says: Stop asking NPH! Just stop!
[9:02:27 PM] Brad says: Wow, a joke about the equal pay for women portion of Patricia Arquette’s speech. Impressive.
[9:02:27 PM] Laremy says: Magic, you guys. Magic. Nothing like a recap of nonsense so that the nonsense doesn’t stop.
[9:03:09 PM] Brad says: Great, an insulting recap of a forgetable night. We all applaud.
[9:03:16 PM] Laremy says: That joke/magic trick could only have gone worse if they actually murdered a puppy on stage.
[9:03:20 PM] Brad says: And now Sean Penn will present Best Picture? What is going on?
[9:03:37 PM] Brad says: Take yourself a little more seriously bruh.
[9:03:46 PM] Brad says: Wake up Sean!!!
[9:04:56 PM] Brad says:
And the winner is Birdman
[9:05:27 PM] Brad says: “Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?” Sean Penn said that and it meant? What? Help me understand most everything that happened tonight.
[9:05:28 PM] Laremy says: Well, all’s well that ends well I suppose. Happy to see a Birdman win, even though it took a very strange route to get there.
[9:06:15 PM] Laremy says: I finished with 19, Brad with 18, but he’s still much taller.
[9:06:43 PM] Laremy says: See you next year, provided NPH isn’t hosting.
[9:09:22 PM] Brad says: Okay ladies and gentlemen, that’s it for us. Enjoy your evenings and watch it again, because you know you want to.
