Here's a first for Reel Good Time......live blogging. Yup, I'm giving it a shot and what better way to kick off this little experiment than the Oscars. I look forward to this event every year and this year is no different. I'll be blogging live, starting from E's Red Carpet Event till the announcement of Best Picture. I'm sure it will be a day filled with lots of laughs, tears, fears, anxiety, and celebration.....and that's just for the Best Actor category that I'm waiting for. Go Leo!!!! Alrighty then we shall resume back here say around 5.30/4.30 Eastern/Central.
The REd Carpet
We are starting the red carpet RIGHT NOW!!!!
Ryan Seacrest is live and still short.......I guess he's wearing Burberry again......because that's all he ever wears but acts as if it's a surprise. Oooooh he's in white this time. It's raining in sunny California. That ain't nothing compared to Colorado snow people. Now they're talking about taking tents down.....yada yada yada.....where are the celebrities?
Hello Giuliana Ha!!!! He's wearing Burberry!!!! I'm a genius!!!
Well right now they're going through formalities while waiting for celebrities to arrive. I'm contemplating if I should eat my pecan pie right now. Oh now they have a film expert. Let's see what he has to say. Lead actor nominees.......and he says Christian Bale has the least chance to win. He thinks Matthew McConaughey might win (he's stupid that's why). Now on to best actress.....he thinks Amy Adams could cause an upset against Cate Blanchett but it's highly unlikely. Right now Ryan's doing what he does best.....taking us to break.
Chocolate Oscars greet us back!!! I love chocolate. Wonder what those taste like. Does anyone have any idea on which chocolate they use? My favorite chocolate is Cadbury, what's yours?
Awww a little kid is introducing the food. I love how he said "these are some veggies"....the kid is still introducing food while the old guy is talking to Ryan Seacrest. I'd rather listen to the kid.

They're showing an interview with Ellen now (pre-recorded). She's funny as usual. I love her. They are talking about fashion now. Now they're talking about nominee friends of hers. She says she's going to rib them in particular. Giuliana is back and they're talking about the second screen experience on E!Online. So I guess you could head there if you'd like. And YOU can be part of the conversation using the E hashtag. #awesome #whereisLeo #getlostRyan #anotherbreak
My kitty Leo is down here with me, keeping me company during the Oscars. He's hoping the human Leo will win too (I think) or he could be thinking about treats. I'd prefer the former.
That's my Leo, isn't he adorable!!! I love Leonardo DiCaprio but I'd pick this Leo any day.
Oh they're back!!! Hopefully some celebrities are coming up soon. Now they're talking about family members as dates. That's pretty sweet. Now they're playing a game to guess the celeb based on their mommies. LEO!!!!!!! Sorry I got excited for a second. He was one of the celebs to guess. The others were Brad Pitt, Jared Leto, Bradley Cooper, and Ryan Seacrest. So if you're interested in Hollywood's mama's boys.......now you know. Just in time for another break.
Back on E! talking about tents. They're checking in with Ross and Kelly. Social media talk....Leonardo DiCaprio is the most mentioned celeb along with Jennifer Lawrence. Good job America!!! You have marvellous taste. Back to the Fandango movie dude, so now it's the supporting categories. Jared Leto for the win according to this guy. Yeah I agree with that though I'm still hoping for a Fassy upset. Now for actress, between Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita. He thinks Lupita will win, again I agree. Okay you're redeeming yourself movie dude. Now Giuliana is talking fashion with him and he looks so confused. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha and another break.
Welcome back. They're talking about Sandra Bullock's red carpet looks. Prabal Gurung (shout out to you Singapore!!!) outfits mostly. I wasn't a big fan of her Golden Globes dress but hey, to each their own. Now they're showing the SAG dress. That dress makes me want to make sushi and use her dress as the seaweed wrap. Somehow Sandra Bullock can pull off seaweed because she's awesome. Back to Fandango movie dude. Jared Leto interview talk. Jared is focusing on his music career for now.....boo!!! Well yeah I guess, I like 30 Seconds to Mars. Now Bradley Cooper talk. Apparently he and JLaw are going to be in another movie together. I'm predicting another Oscar nom for both since they seem to have some kind of weird juju when they work together. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand break............again
I wonder how many people actually care about the ads being shown. Oh oh oh we're back. I'm hoping for the celebs to start piling in already. Oooooh Viola Davis. She had a gorgeous dress on before.
I see LIZA MINNELI!!!!!!!!!! OMG LIZA!!!!!!!!!!!! And then there's Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis....I like them as a couple. Hope they last. That's a great pregnancy dress from the back....wonder what it'll look like from the front. Ross and Kelly are hyperventilating after seeing Liza, I don't blame them. Now it's a walk down red carpet memory lane for Charlize Theron.
Portia De Rossi's dress is soooooooooooooo pretty. I love lace so I'm kind of obsessed with this dress. Now they're discussing Kristin Chenoweth's dress. Also kinda nice. Still love Portia's dress. Off to break again to watch more boring commercials.
This portion of E! Live at the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards is sponsored by AT&T.....and film dude is back....hello.....best picture talk now.....3 way race between American Hustle, Gravity, and 12 Years a Slave. Ugh American Hustle NO!! But then he adds it's probably between Gravity and 12YAS. Team 12 Years here!!! And now they are talking to Kristin Chenoweth. I hear screams in the background. Someone important or famous must have arrived. Loving the pixie cut on Kristin though. Anna Kendrick arrived. Guess some Pitch Perfect enthusiasts are around. Didn't get a good look at her dress though. Ross and Kelly again. They're talking about Kristen Bell and her cute dress. Oh Amy Adams is all covered up in navy blue-ish outfit I'm horrid with colors sorry. Oh I finally saw the front of Olivia Wilde's dress. Very plain and simple. She looks good. Ryan has Barkhad Abdi. Yeah!!! I like him. He's a good actor. Imagine the whirl wind he's been through, he seems so happy about it though. They're talking about Seinfeld and JayZ. SkyBox again. John Legend and Chrissy Tegan. Her dress is floral and pretty.
Kristen and Dax are being interviewed by Seacrest. They're talking about Frozen and her singing voice. Ryan seems to like Kristen's dress. Break again.....I'm kinda bored by this.
I keep thinking about pecan pie. That's not good. I just want my celebrities. Where are you guys?
Ryan is with Olivia and Jason. Hahahahaha her baby's due date is on my birthday!!! May the 4th be with you. Yeah I'm pretty happy I have a nerdy birthday. He's showing a sheet with names he can't pronounce. Chiwitel!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!! He's such a sweetie. So humble and great. If Leo doesn't win, I really hope he does. As long as McConaughey doesn't win. They're talking about Steve McQueen who should win best director but I know Alfonso Cuaron will win. Boo! There's a video from Chiwitel's sister. How sweet, she works at CNN at I guess. Awesome. He looks so touched. Awwww. Oh Amy Adams is here. I love her. I always feel like singing and controlling animals with my melody whenever I see her. They are discussing the girl on girl kiss with JLaw and Amy. Idina Menzel....wow they're moving fast. Idina is performing "Let It Go" later. I love that song but it's been EVERYWHERE lately. I'm not too tired of it yet though. I'm a Rent Head so I'm always happy to see Idina anywhere. Her necklace is gorgeous!!!
Lupita has arrived and they're discussing her dress. OMG hello Cinderella!!! That's all that comes to mind. I love her dress!!! Ryan's interviewing John and Chrissy now. Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the hiz-house!!! I love JGL. He looks.....
What the actual FUCK????? Pharrell what the hell did you smoke before wearing those pants???? I'd take that ridiculous hat anyday......NO JUST NO!!!!
Bruce Dern is on with his wife and daughter Laura Dern. I still haven't seen Nebraska!!! God damn it I'm pissed I haven't gotten to it yet. I like that this is a family affair right here. And we're headed for another break.......and I'm finally going to devour that pecan pie.
Let's see how well I blog and eat at the same time. Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke, and some other dude are being interviewed now. I'm sorry if I'm not writing down designer names but I know I'm going to butcher the names if I attempt to spell them and another reason is, labels shouldn't matter. Lupita is being interviewed!!! Hello again Cinderella. Awww the headband. I swear she's so smart. I love the way she articulates herself. Lupita, your Yale is showing.
Ryan is with Naomi Watts. Her dress is so pretty. Very Spider-Woman-esque. June Squibb is here now. She reminds me of my grandma, even the outfit! In an outrageous universe where my grandma would make it to the Oscars, she would wear that dress. Jared Leto has arrived in a very Doctor Who inspired outfit. Props for that Jared!!! You're filling my Matt Smith void with that outfit.
So now Jared is dating June Squibb. LOL. Oh Jared you dog. Lupita might not be too happy about that. And we're going off to another break. I finished my pecan pie though, in case anyone is interested.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse me while I get lost in his voice. They're talking about how Benedict wants 12 Years a Slave to be part of the school curriculum. American vs British fan talk. Oh Ben, just wait till you meet me ;)
Kevin Spacey is up now. Now my aunt is getting excited. I'm upset Benedict left. Why Benny why? Stay longer, take over Seacrest's job. Sigh......

Jessica Biel sans Justin Timberlake. She looks nice actually. Mani-cam time. She left. Bette Midler!!!!! I love her dress!!! Reminds me of the one Halle Berry wore before but more age appropriate for Bette here. Can't wait to see her perform. Sally Hawkins is British. I swear the Brits are awesome at American accents!!! Kerry Washington has arrived. Sarah Paulson the bitch from 12 Years a Slave who's a sweetheart in real life. She's such a dork. Have you seen the pictures of her with Benedict Cumberbatch?
Oh the gorgeous Cate Blanchett is here. She's totally going to win tonight. And we're going back to another break.
So now it's the actor that's just alright, alright, alright. He's there with his wife and mom. That was relatively quick. Jennifer Lawrence just tripped on the Oscar Red Carpet!!!! I love that girl!!! She's just awesome. Is Nick Hoult there? I wonder......I like them as a couple.
Fashion talk...........again........I thought I saw Leo arrive earlier. Please interview him instead.
It seems like E! has taken a turn to fashion-ville instead of interview-lane. I'm switching over to abc in hopes that they're still stationed at interview-lane.
Hmmm....I wonder what's going on. abc doesn't seem to be interviewing people either. Oh wait, I spot the 11th Doctor Bow-Tie. It's Jared Leto.
Some guy called Julia Roberts, Jessica Roberts. LMAO. We're looking at fashion again. Where the fuck are the interviews?
Bradley Cooper and Jonah Hill. Aren't they competing against each other? Awkward!! Where's Leo though? Oh they're interviewing Lupita, and now Barkhad Abdi.
I'm just going through this post and I realize this is going to be SUPER long. Sorry guys. I promise the keep the Oscar bit concise especially cause I'll be busy watching more than blogging. Oooooh Jimmy Kimmel!!!!
