Live blogging the Oscars! I'll post scores (maybe) or the winners.
8:27 EST PM: Watching the Amazing Race. And can't believe that the Cowboys made it past the last roadblock.
8:28 EST PM: You could also follow my tweets here!
8:32 EST PM: Opening monologue/movie. Are you laughing yet.
8:37 EST PM: What the hell does Back to the Future have to do with anything tonight?
8:41 EST PM: Switched over to The Amazing Race again. The teams are in kangaroo suits!
8:42 EST PM: This is boring me. How much longer? 4 hours!?!?!
8:44 EST PM: Art Direction: Alice in Wonderland. Lots of people made this choice!
8:48 EST PM: Cimematography: Inception. Only 1 hit!
8:52 EST PM: CapitolSwell's in the lead with 13 points. Everyone else is going backwards. Trying to catch the end of the Amazing Race. Come on asian dudes!
8:59 EST PM: It was the engaged couple who got the uturn in the first episode that were philiminated. And Melissa Leo wins the Supporting Actress. I'm going backwards.
9:07 EST PM: Animated short: The Lost Thing. Only CapitolSwell and Marge get that one. Animated Feature: Toy Story 3. Only Angeli missed that one! That was the shoo-in of the week! I mean that category is the annual Pixar Oscar!
9:13 EST PM: White tie!
9:17 EST PM: Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network. And this guy talks alot. I thought he could speak faster!
9:21 EST PM: Original Screenplay: The King's Speech. I thought Inception. Akeshia in the lead with 19 points.
9:35 EST PM: Supporting Actor: Christian Bale. Foreign Film: In Better World. I should've made the scoring more dynamic. Everyone in the hunt is bunched. And it looks as if it will come down to the Best picture.
9:42 EST PM: Sci Tech Awards! Marissa Tomei was the presenter? The couldn't find another young hottie to have hosted this one? What? Where was the Black Swan girl? No, the other one?
9:44 EST PM: Oscar winner Trent Reznor? Wha!?
9:53 EST PM: I am bored. Let's hurry up and finish this?! Wait! The SciTech awards!
10:01 EST PM: Makeup: The Wolfman. Costume: Alice in Wonderland. James Franco is dying on stage. Anyone tweet that out to him?
10:03 EST PM: I've never been so relieved to see them singing the nominated songs on the telecast. It brings something to this boring show. I'm too busy updating the numbers. Here's something hilarious: Marge has 3 points, but has guessed 6 correctly! Hi hi!
10:28 EST PM: Billy Crystal. Bring this guy back.
10:30 EST PM: Bob Hope. Bring this guy back.
10:37 EST PM: Worst show in a while.
10:44 EST PM: Wait. That song was nominated? Was it really longer than that?
10:53 EST PM: I noticed that I haven't posted winners in awhile. Meanwhile Brian and Eleanor tied for the lead.
10:58 EST PM: @jamesfranco's twitter feed more interesting than his hosting capabilities. Bring back the ghost of Bob Hope!
11:01 EST PM: Congratulations, nerds! is making the google rounds!
11:05 EST PM: It's a tie! Brian and Eleanor have it from here on out. Unless The Social Network makes a run... doubtful... We're gonna have to go to the tie breakers!
11:17 EST PM: At least this was a short telecast. Directing: Tobe Hooper, The King's Speech. Actress: Natalie Portman.
11:25 EST PM: Colin Firth. The King's Speech.
11:30 EST PM: Preliminary winner of the 4th Annual BrowserMetrics' Oscar Pool is Brian if the numbers holds up. (and if it's The King's Speech)
11:38 EST PM: The King's Speech! Wins 4 Oscars! Finally we're done!
11:41 EST PM: Welp. We're done for another year. Congratulations to all winners, both at the Academy and in the BrowserMetrics' Oscar Pool. (I think it's Brian as he gets the first tie breaker correct). I got to go add up the numbers and check all things we'll see.
Thanks for playing!

Dude what up with James Franco? i felt his nervousness but he had a couple of moments (congrats, nerds! Ann was great though.)
it was a lot less toned down as I thought it would be. But yay for Kirk Douglas - legendary! and the In Memorium and Lena Horne tribute. I liked the youtube remix of the songs - that was hilarious (Ron & Hermione)
