Just to let everyone know LB will be a bit late but will be here.

Oh!
Gosh they are slow to get started. What do u think of the dresses so far?
eh. thats all.
Yeah! Not feeling it so far.
There is another link for the red carpet up above if u want to click on #1.
ha ha sneaking energy bars!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Hmm! U are giving people ideas.
what do u think of mila’s dress?
I did not see her?
off the shoulder shimmery white.
its ellie saab.
Ahh! It was o.k.
whats with all the black dresses?
The color will be for the nominees I imagine.
Penelope. I do not like. Do u like her dress?
it was ok…..its the only think i “like” so far.
True! It’s the only real color and beaded gown we’ve seen so far. So that’s understandable.
ok i’m just gonna say it……if you’re gonna be someone’s plus 1 do not look like you just rolled out of bed.
I like penelope miller’s gown.
her makeup needs to be redone though.
LOL! Who are u talking about that looks bad on someone’s arm?
I have no idea who it was but he brought someone who looked like she put no effort into what she wore. if i see her again i’ll let you know.
o.k.
i’m not digging rose byrne’s dress. she looks like she came in latex.
LOL!! Yeah!! ITA!
i like bereniece’s dress.
Beautiful bead work. Very nice. I think the color gets washed out on camera though.
ita. it should have been darker.
i like jane seymour’s red dress.
O.k. I’ve seen Milla and she looks beautiful very twenties.
ok christopher plummer’s date needs to lose her black glove.
i like melissa’s mcarthy’s color
Yes! me too!
i like missy pyle’s dress. love the cut and color.
George Clooney looks great.
i don’t know who that is from the descendants but she looks like she joined the priest hood.
LOL!! I know poor thing. They played it too safe.
she needs to be fired. her stylist.
Yeah!
That’s a bad dress for her age the young girl from the Descendants. Who is her stylist?
i like jessica chastain’s dress.
i didn’t even recognize nick nolte.
He had a loose tooth? What’s up with that?
i have no idea. every time i see him though all i see is a mug shot. its so sad.
I like Clooney and Stacy. They are the best couple so far.
yes me too i like stacy’s dress.
beautiful color and drape. LOVE IT!!
Clooney! That man knows how to pick his suits. Perfect fit, satin peaked lapels. LOVE, LOVE IT!!
i love the blue dress on whoever that is,
Who?
she was part of the couple before george and stacey on the carpet.
Oh! gotcha!
i like viola’s color but not the dress.
Let me see the dress again.
Berenice gown is so elegantly beaded. She’s a nominee she should have had more color. Ahhh!!
Viola looks great!! Love her hair.
i like mya rudolph’s dress alot.
I did not see her.
Oh! I love it!! U have great taste.
thank you!
kenneth branaugh’s date.,…..the color washes her out.
Kenneth Branaugh in a three piece suit. It’s too casual for this. The cut should have been more period.
I love Michelle Williams. LOVE IT!!
i like michelle. its very pretty.
i like rooney’s dress.
Rooney’s dress it’s a nice thirties homage. Yet, thats a not a flattering accent on her breast. It looks like gills or something.
LOL!
Oh! I thought it was a peaked lapel. I was wrong. That’s too bad. I love them he tends to wear them. I’m sad!!
Oops I’m talking about clooney!
LOL i figured you were.
We have this mind reading thing going and I leave out pertinent info. sometimes. LOL!!
i like glenn close’s dress.
Ahh! jean has on a peaked lapel tux. FINALLY!! I was like come on it’s a old HW themed event. NO Peaked Lapels guys?
He’s french he’s and fashionable. If he wasn’t fashionable there would be something wrong. The french always know how to impress.
LOL!! True!
Sean Combs looks great. Peaked lapels wonderful. Ahh! My heart just skipped a beat. LOL!!
I’m going to go for now but i will talk to you later. Have a good night!
O.k. Take Care it was fun. Thanks for joining me.
So for those who come on later. The Oscars u can access on the above link on this page. Click on #3 link to see the Oscars.
I LOVE EMMA STONE!!
J.Lo looks great. Perfect 20’s homage.
If u need to access the actual Oscar ceremony. I’m trying to get another link set up for u that u don’t need to pay for.
Ten min and I will be home!!!!!!
O.k. I’m still here. See u then. LOL!!
Im back! I’m watching it live on TV so I’m probably seeing the red carpet differently. George walked by. Looks good. Octavia looks very pretty. Seems like I haven’t missed a whole lot.
Yeah! I’m watching TV too.
Did u see Brad Pitt?
Gwenyth looks great!
What channel are u watching it on?
Sandra Bullock looks beautiful.
LB
Are u watching the Oscars on TV?
Yes, on ABC? Is that the channel? Havent’ seen anyone else really. I had to feed the kids.
So are some styled in the 20’s/30s because The Artist is going to clean house?
Yes! Its an 20/30’s homage. I’m watching ABC as well.
The ARtist has had quite an impact, huh??? 🙂 Saw it last night. Holy smokes no wonder it’s sweeping the awards circuit! I thought everything was so beautifully detailed: from the crystal drawer handles to the proper filming style of the 30s. Totally off topic: I felt like I was watching a dark version of Singin’ in the Rain and I totally dug it! Slightly different, but many similarities.
Yes!I thought u would like it. LOL!! Have u seen any of Chaplin’s silent films?
Yes! It had a bit of Singin in The Rain feel to it.
No, not many but now I need to!
The one interviewer has a great Art Deco dress design going on. I like it!
Yes! I think I like J. Lo, Emma Stone & Michelle Williams the best.
Hi everyone!
Hi,
Your back!! Did u see the opening number?
Hi!!! Crap, I’m ten minutes behind show schedule, but I am watching!!!
BILLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
Yes! Billy was funny!
I love what he is willing to do for the Oscars and for us.
Ok, I’m jealous of Robert Richardson’s head of hair. haha! Seriously. 🙂
ps. Love the short speeches.
Yeah! Hugo was deserving of the Cinematography. It was beautiful.
Hugo set decor. AWESOME!!
Yes, fantastic!
Did u see Hugo?
Unfortunately I have not.
They did NOT just show the prom scene!! Bleeeeeeeehhh! Although Rob did look good.
LOL!! Did u mean TS?
Do not speak blasphemy!!! hahaha!
Quick OB, who is going to win for costume design????
Woot woot!!! Do you agree with this win? Why or why not?
Oh! I already said either the Artist or W.E. The Artist was really visually stunning. It’s hard to design for Black and White because everything is dependent on the perfect texture and color combination.
I will ask you more about costumes and make up for B&W because it’s always fascinated me. 🙂
No problem. The 20’s and 30’s are my fav. periods. LOL!!
See if I could wear 30s hair, shoes, and dresses everyday, I would. 🙂 We had an article on this…Oh yeah, I think we were talking about Marlena’s costumes.
I like the 40’s for women’s hats actually.
I like your eye for detail LB. Yes! the 30’s hair, shoes and dresses were beautifully draped. Yet, the everyday structured dresses accented women’s figures so nicely. IMO!!
Ahhh! The Artist for Costume Design much deserving. AWESOME!!
ok, like JLo’s dress but I don’t like that much cleavage with the style.
Holy crap! Streep looked just like Thatcher! Good win Iron Lady!
Yes! The Make-Up for Iron Lady was flawless. Too bad Leo DiCaprio did not get the same treatment for J. Edgar.
Ok, your pick for best actor/actress/ supporting actor/actress, and film?
Let see I’m going to say for actress???? Michelle or Viola
For best supporting: any of them!
Who are u choosing for Best Actress?
I changed my mind Bernice for The Artist.
I’m gonna say Octavia will get it. Or Berenice.
HOOOOOOT DOG!!! Go OCTAVIA!!! You rock it sister and cry all you want!!! You deserve that standing O! Woot woot!!!!
Oh! I was completely off I thought Bernice was in Best Actress. Although, Octavia is so deserving. That’s great!! For best Supporting.
i see Brad’s folks there. I wonder if he will get the Oscar. I think Jean should get it. To portray such emotion without words…brilliant! Not everyone can do that even WITH words.
I think Jean should get it too.
I saw The Separation it was really moving.
OMG, I am loving the Christopher Guest and friends sketch!
The Artist for film editing, all the way. Unbelievable! Please win!
Well good for GWDT! I haven’t seen it, but I can only assume that it was very well done. What was it about the editing that was spectacular?
Are u asking about GWDT editing? The opening sequence was nicely edited. Actually beautifully edited. Umm! I saw it awhile ago and only saw it once because I plan on getting the DVD. LOL
who will win for editing? I’m going to say The Artisit or hugo
see above. I like DRIVE for sound editing…or is that mixing???
Well the editing was good for Dragon. Gosh!! I’m striking out tonight. LOL!! Don’t listen to me…LOL!!
Hugo is rocking it tonight!
Yeah! Hugo was great but I think The Artist will get it for Best Picture.
I hope so.
Don’t trust me though. LOL!! I’ve only seen much of the films nominated once.
Wow even commercials are doing the b&w thing. I want TA to win because it gives me hope that there is an audience and group in HW who are willing to think outside the box and give us intelligent films. I’m not saying Hugo is not intelligent. It would just be nice to see a non blockbuster win it. My huband loved it and said he would rather see indie/foreign films because everything now is stupid and lame. Coming from this man, my jaw dropped. I guess I have taught him something in the 9 years of our marriage. hahaha!!!!
Yes! It does give u hope. Does it not? Ahh! I love Mr. LB comment.
Um…wow. You know what Im talking about.
Pina is good
I did not see defeated.
Who for Best Animation?
I didn’t have a pick. I guess Rango since it won. hahaha!!!
I LOVED CIRQUE! I want to see that show.
That’s what my “wow” was for!!!! The girls above the crowd! Holey moley!
Gotcha!!
Love the color of Emma’s dress!!! I just love her.
Hugo for visual effects!
Totally!!!
U have to see hugo 3D it was so tastefully done. Not over the top. Just perfect it highlighted various parts of the plot for clues.
Nick Nolte. He was great in Warrior. But then again, it was nice to see Jonah in a serious role.
Although Christopher Plummer is always wonderful.
Did u see The Beginner’s?
No it didnt make it here.
Quick LB who do u choose?
Good for Christopher Plummer. It shows age shouldnt matter at all!!!
Yes! Yes! Very True….
K, here are my pics for Best pic, actor and actress:
The Artist, Jean Dujardin, and then I can’t decide between Viola, Streep, or Close.
Too many best pic nominations. What is the other criteria for a nomination?
Billy is so funny!!
Friggin POS Carl’s Jr. commercial…
That was a cute skit. I loved the dog……Sooooo cute.
muuuuusci!!!!! aaaaahhhh!!!! TA or either film by Willaims!
Personally i want the Artist to win because that music had to convey EVERYTHING that dialogue could not.
Sooo! True…I’m so conflicted I told u. I’ve seen to many films. LOL!!
Hugo for orig. score.
I’m such flip flopper!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! happy dance! No formal training! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Im getting the soundtrack!
what a sweet man…
Take a bow LB for having the guts to stick by your first choice. LOL!!
MAN OR MUPPET!!! Please!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
i love you Jim Henson! Thank you for Kermie and the gang!
Your so cute!!
Awww thanks. 🙂 They need to come back to TV. My daughter gets so excited seeing them!
Ahhhh! That’s sweet.
Muppets LB!! Muppets LB!! WOOOOOO!!!!
Paris u are missing the snacks.
I saw that! Popcorn!!!
See Paris this was the year to go and get snacks at the Oscars. LOL!!
tell the academy that next year.
I saw it. I about dumped my dinner in my lap when i saw it.
That was my gift to u. LOL!!
Did you go tell the president of the academy that Parisienne demanded snacks????? LOL bless your heart! LOL
LOL!!
Ok, Angelina is deathly skinny. And that does not look natural skinny to me.
yeah! She needs to cut her hair. It’s too long.
ITA
Hey where’s CR????
He could not make it. He has a deadline for work. He might come on later if he finishes in enough time.
Well deadlines are more important. Hi CR! Missed you “live”!
I don’t think so that’s not right. The Descendants
Oringinal screenplay: TA or MiP
Wow! I totally guessed on that one. i think it was the idea that was so great and original!
U are on a roll tonight LB. See I think u have the right idea on how to watch films and predict the win. I applaud your technique.
haha! No Im just lucky tonight. 🙂
Hi Ladies! The Oscars are tooo long for me so i will sit here and talk to you.
haha! Hi paris! 🙂 You missed the popcorn snack they were passing out!
I saw them and i thought of OB!
What are your remaining predictions, Paris?
Jean for Actor
Meryl for Actress
TA for pic.
I like your predictions Paris. I don’t trust myself anymore. I’ve seen way too many films in the last two months. The Artist is the film I saw more recently. Hugo was a month in a half ago.
Thanks. I might go see TA tomorrow.
I think if TA doesn’t win it will go to Hugo. Paris, you need to rent ToL because i want to know what yu think.
ok.
I’m torn for actress: Viola, Streep or Close
So who do u pick for Best Actor? & Actress? Quick
Jinx!!!!
Its tooo long. the skits ran to long. imo.
quick! grab a popcorn!
i’d share my popcorn with AJ. She’s just wayyyy to thin.
Yes we discussed that. That’s not normal skinny to me.
Yeah! She looks scary thin.
I haven’t seen HUGO yet but i thought TA would win more.
U need to see it. It’s really great in 3D it was tastefully done. Very touching and beautiful.
I thought TA would too, but I’m happy they won for costumes and music.
What’s your overall feel about the tone of the oscars this year?
its way to damn long. i would have run out of protein bars.
LOL!! Do u like energy drinks?
yeah i’m thinking of putting an iv in with a bag full of redbull. what do you think?
Love it. Perfect accent…. Get it bedazzled. LOL!! U are crazy!! I can see u dragging it now.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love you OB.
I’ll be administering it Paris, 🙂
ok!
I think it’s been ok, but not exciting. And yes, I agree, it doesn’t need to be this long.
the presenters are running on their gimmicks way to long. they should have one person present each oscar.
the only one I liked was Emma and Ben. OB, I think you are right about Best Pic.
that one drove me nuts. emma and ben
Nut’s in a good way?
well no…i like emma but please cut the crap i just wanna see who wins.
LOL!! Ahh! I love u Paris. Where have u been all my life? Especially, when your out there in the audience it’s not funny its like listening to a faucet dripping.
I feel awful for all the nominees nervously waiting. Paris, I will bring a stress ball for you. 🙂 We can take turns as we wait, and wait, and wait.
I know exactly what type of stress ball to get you!!!!!
Really??? Oh no! I thought she was funny. Better than the documentary style with Downey Jr.
I did not like Downey Jr. & Paltrow doc. thing. That was stupid.
honestly, i didn’t like either of them.
really stooooopid.
Hugo going to get it for Best Picture since The Artist got it for Directing.
michel just won best director.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Best direction for TA!!!!!
if it was up to me the show would be an HOUR tops.
yes.
Paris, If it was an hour. Then the advertisers would be screwed and the production would be put together with card board boxes and tape.
think how much money would be saved doing it in just an hour. Even 30 minutes!
I guess it would be good for recycling. U know set design is one of the biggest waste in filmmaking.
yes. Who pays attention to the sets?
Paris????? U hurt my feelings. LOL!!
i said sets. not costumes. LOL but i love it all.
I was acting??? I was that convincing?
yes you deserve an OSCAR. GO TAKE MERYL”S and then thank me in your speech.
U are hilarious I’m crying from laughter. Stop!!
ok an hour 45
o.k. that’s better.
ok, I don’t care about what the actors think about their first film, blah, blah, blah. These segments are major time fillers.
why isn’t colin firth presenting for actor?
Mr. Bells: is that Billy Joel???
LB: No. That’s Billy Crystal.
hahahahahaha!!!! 🙂
🙂
Come on Jean!!
i thought gary was supberb in immortal beloved.
love that movie!
Jean! jean! Jean! Chant with me everyone!
jean! jean! jean! bonne chance! HE JUST WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! How many happy dances is this for me tonight, OB??? YIPEE!!!! mr. Bells is happy dancing with me.

Yes! I went into shock. Sorry!!
