Well, that will clearly be the highlight of the night.

And by "that", I mean Christopher Guest and company. Hell yes.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for Best Film Editing....

Holy fffffffffffffuck.

Did anyone predict Girl With the Dragon Tattoo winning?

I feel like the only people who would have predicted it were those with a personal interest in GWTDT winning as much as it could.

I mean fuck, they won last year.

Glad I switched my Sound picks to Hugo a couple days back.

I can tell you it won't be a good night for my Beat Berardinelli contest since I gave it once a over and found out I'm 0 for whatever.

Yeah, that looks like it is going to be one of the biggest shocks of tonight. A huge surprise considering, as you said, they did win it last year. Hugo sweeping the technical awards is much less of a surprise obviously. My ballot is looking a lot better ATM.

Agreed. I normally think the show is bloated enough already, but that was quick and very funny. Doubt I'll see anything better tonight.



Nope. I think people underrate the Editing category too. That's a pretty major award right there.

Again: Hugo is really cleaning up the technical categories. Anyone see an upset in a major category. Scorsese for Director??

I don't think Scorsese taking director constitutes a major upset because it could happen. Now Allen taking directing....

How are things going, guys? I'm 6 for 9.

Shit, for some reason I changed my guess for Best Documentary. Should've stuck with my first impression...

I've only got 5 right...

I have missed three so far. I got documentary correct, I'm not sure if that's 6/9 or 7/10.

Has anyone seen Undefeated? The Weinstein Company distributed. I'm wondering if this is another win for lobbyists over quality?

Make that 8 of 11. Do we still think that tonight will be for The Artist?

I really liked Undefeated. I liked all of the nominated documentaries actually.

Wow, Emma Stone is really tall.

So, 9 out of 12.

Emma Stone on stage just made this the best Oscarcast ever. I would do unspeakable things to that girl.

Chris Plummer was a lock to win. How about that score for Beginners though? They played a bit when he walked onto the stage. Simple, piano melody, but I really liked it. Made my Reelviews ballot.

Christopher Plummer wins, thats nice. Not surprising though.

I got one right...go me
