    Liveblogging The Oscars: Zzzzzz Country For Boring Montages

    The show is on! Maybe you're in an Oscar pool at work? Maybe you have all your money on No Country For Old Men? Maybe you didn't see a single nominated film but you just want to check out the speeches? Tracie and I discuss the biggest night in Hollywood (and Moe chimes in!), after the jump.

    dodai: i was like really? this is how it ends?
    dodai: but in terms of tension
    dodai: and not knowing what the fuck was going to happen

    tracie: ok. jack nicholson is such a stoner
    tracie: look at his eyes

    10:20
    moe: God fucking Cate Blanchett is so beautiful. That pregnancy bullshit is for realz. It's a good thing pregnancy makes you feel so rotten or else hot pregnant women would be running the streets getting taken advantage of in their vulnerable state. Or something. BTW that was not a great acceptance speech. "Thank you life, thank you love".... Speak English lady!
    dodai: oh i liked it!
    dodai: it seemed unpretentious
    dodai: and just excited and not too thought-out
    dodai: spontaneous
    dodai: this show is so BORING
    moe: There is unpretentious and there is illiterate. Not that it matters because she looked so hot she might be pregnant herself.

    tracie: hahaha
    tracie: thank you life thank you love

    dodai: i like when people are excited
    tracie: me too
