Blogging On Oscar Night With Music

We didn't plan on blogging during this year's Oscars but we'll see how long we last until we lose interest.

"Sit your asses down!'

First thing we noticed is that Chris Rock isn't funny. It's not exactly a snoozefest but his jokes were okay but not funny.

The Incredibles won. It was the only animation film that had us in tears with laughter. Aeki Tuesday will be reliving that experience when it comes out on DVD.

What was that song Beyonce sang? First we thought she was singing in Chinese but after reading the closed-captioning we saw that it was French. Someone should have coached her on proper pronunciations. That song was gravely butchered.

Morgan Freeman & Cate Blanchett win for Best Supporting Actor & Actress respectively. Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor win for Best Adapted Screenplay for Sideways.

9:42PM - Aviator count: 4 wins
