So far, so good. Then again, they haven't started yet.
MWAHAHAHAHA! Anyone have their best snark on? Heh!
Is it me, or is the red carpet more of a burnt umber?
I'm ready in NYC!
Do you realize that the cost of the clothing and jewelry alone could feed a small third world country for a year. But, what the heck, don't they look good, looking down at the rest of the little people who just don't understand the suffering in the world. I am so glad we have them as our conscience.
Harvey Milk is one of the last great heroes…Josh Brolin. Hmmm
I don't think I can watch — I'm not interested in the nominated films and all the white ribbons would make me ill. (I said that elsewhere, but I think that thread has been abandoned, so I'll move the comment over, so to speak.)
At least they're not proclaiming solidarity with terrorists this year!
Ready with the guinness in DC.
Two parts Vodka, one part Kahlua, some milk……….
When is Barbara W. going to retire?
Ready with the Kona Long Board in California…
Like Helen Thomas, she is really a puppet, propped up by the DNC Media Relations division; she has been dead since 1984.
Blood orange juice, splash of Cointreau, Hanger One vodka glass rimmed with sugar infused with orange zest….
What was that drinking game we were supposed to play? Take a drink every time someone says 'Thank You'?
Good Lord Bev… i am actually salivating now!
i live about 2 blocks from the kodak theatre and the noise from the helicopters hovering overhead is deafening.
Waiting for the ever-present self congratulatory atmosphere as the A A ceremony kick-off. How many of the prObamites will be there to accept their Comrade-in-Racism Awards? Will there be a special short statu(r)e for Robert Reich?
Ryan Seacrest to Evan Rachel Wood about 5 minutes ago… "I think I can smell you," Honest.
Okay…
I have Cabernet. Good to go. Till I decide I need to sleep. BTW best dressed man…Mickey Rooney.
He just gets more creepy every year, doesn't he?
I haven't seen any white ribbons yet. Are they inside on the seats or in those goody bags?
FYI: Big Hollywood contributors are also freely posting on the main page (http://www.bighollywood.breitbart.com) So you can monitor two threads at once… this comment thread and the posting thread there! ENJOY!
You know, I think it would be really special if Obama did one of those taped message-thingies to broadcast tonight. You know, thanking Hollywood for all they do.
Ryan Seacrest to Kate Winslet about 1 minute ago… "Why are you nervous?" He really is an idiot isn't he?
So what do the white ribbons mean? Surrender?
I believe the white ribbons are in support of same-sex marriage.
The night is still young.
Okay, Hugh Jackman is giving Barbara W. a lapdance. I love Hugh, but that was creepy…
When we get the Fairness Doctrine does that mean the gay hairdressers who play Fashion Police on E! will have to share time with Larry the Cable Guy? Forget Who Did Your Gown, Larry will ask who did your boobs? Dr. Rey?
Slumdog MM signals to the world real creativity (AKA life force & freedom) has shifted away from H. CA.
I'm so out of popular culture I don't know who Robin Roberts or Tim Gunn is
Yea ribbons are back! Woot Woot~ It is the comeback of the night never mind Mickey Rourke!~
I am just hoping for another good Mickey Rourke speech
Okay, I made it…time to pop the popcorn and grab the candy bars!

Good Grief watching the interaction on the red carpet iis like watching porn can we get anymore ass kissing shots in good grief!
Thanks I will now have a visual even Gerard Butler in his scivvies couldn't blank. Thanks. A ton.
Both Tim and Robin have a fashion makeover show on cable. Ooooh, why do I know this??
Did you see Rourke undress that woman with his (nipped and tucked) eyes?
Robin Roberts is a sports announcer. Tim Gunn does Project Runway. Hard to tell who is worse. Gunn just told Pitt and Jolie they were a great couple. No question. Just told them that. Next time, assign Helen Thomas and Jake Tapper to the carpet interviews
Oh my God the thing hasn't even started and I'm bored
Tim Gunn is just fawning and hyperventilating — he seems horribly nervous
Mmmmmm Gerard Butler…
God Bless Mickey's dog. Still haven't seen white ribbons…
I hope Mickey R wins…
Perhaps a comment on salary, mansion, and limo caps….or is that expecting to much for a white ribbon crowd?
Thanks Bev!
At the first sight of white ribbon I'm grabbin the barf bag!

well, i wasn't gonna watch, but i'm couch-bound with a cold, so here i am. and viola davis seems to be on something much more mood-altering than homeopathic stress tablets.
nice to have ya Red!
OK Who the hell are most of these people? WHO? Its like I have seen very few people of note show up. Is this the best that Hollywood can do? HUH?
I would imagine we are testing the BH server and web software like never before!
It's more fun making the comments than intently listening to the presentation on TV
I wonder what Marissa Tomei really thinks about Mickey Rourke?
They were all threatening to dress down the glitz in recognition of the economy (empathizing with the common man, you know) but I see lots of big diamonds, big hair and big dresses so far…..
Okay, Marisa Tomei 's dress is just poorly made. And it's Versace!
I miss the over-the-top tacky dresses.
First thought on her dress, 'looks like she brought her fans with her'…!
As my dear late aunt would say "it's enough to make a dog throw up!"
Empathy…I'm not so sure very many of t hem are capable of empathy when a statue isn't involved.
Yeah, where is Cher when you need her.
bring back Nolan Miller, Cher's designer.

This is BIZ-ARRE
?? ?????????? is this the TONY AWARDS?
Rob Lowe is finally avenged.
The horror…the hor-ror…
My thoughts exactly…
How many speeches will express relief that the country is bound for a malaise not seen since the Carter administration.
yo, is that snow white again?
When Johnnie Carson hosted or Bob Hope….(fill in your owqn blank)
Okay, it's reaching peoples choice and espy level.

Well, at least Hugh Jackman is nice to look at…
this is embarassing……not funny at all…..making fun of the economy might not be the way to go……HORRIBLE
I think I'm slumming t!

Did he just call Frank Langella fat?
Awesome…
Meryl you are sooooooooooo over rated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodness I so agree. Thank you.
How many actresses does it take to hand out one award?
Check out the old broads….LOL
How about take a drink every time some self-important "celebrity" says something snarky about George Bush. Or something adoring about President Obama.
thanks, dcalleyKat!! well, i loved hugh, anne – not so much. um, is whoopie pregnant??
OK…made it. Just woke up from my nap.
Whata' I miss so far?
Not Over.
If Goldie Hawn has one more facelift she's going to have a goatee.
Don, you rock!!! That's the funniest line of the night so far!!!
Thank goodness I thought it was just me…
It's the borg chick!
Ah aren't weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sooooooooooooooooooo wonderfulllllllllllllllllll!!
Ah aren't weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sooooooooooooooooooo wonderfulllllllllllllllllll!!
Seeing Goldie Hawn makes me think of the line in "Up Periscope" where Kelsey Grammer tells Lauren Holley – "You're almost out of uniform!"

Good grief…this is taking for-ev-er!!!
Just announce the award already!
Cruz was a no-brainer
Exactly!!!! I feel like Henry Fonda in "On Golden Pond" when he picks up the photo and keeps saying "Who the HELL is that????"
