One of the film calendar’s biggest events in which the rich and famous pat one another on the back is here. We’ve prepared as best we can by watching as many of the films as possible; no fiction film in the English language not in a technical category has escaped my eyes.
It has been exhausting but not as exhausting as staying up until 5 a.m. watching Seth MacFarlane host an awards ceremony longer than any of the films nominated – and most of them were far too long. People will sing, actors will cry, and Daniel Day-Lewis will almost certainly not go home empty-handed. We are also guaranteed to slip into lunacy at some point.
I will be starting with the red carpet coverage as soon as I can bring myself to do so… and find an illegal online stream to watch. Fingers crossed I can get the live blogging software to work.
EDIT: All seems to work. If you are joining us tonight, or fancy reliving it blow by blow in the morning, then open this post in a new window and all the fun should dynamically update in-front of your eyes. If it doesn’t you’re using the wrong browser and I wash my hands of you.
EDIT: How could I forget about my old friends/alcoholism enablers at NOW TV? Legal live streaming ahoy!
Mild Concern 
I just joined skytv so I could get a decent stream. After your lovely skytv review I hope I don’t hate you because of this.

So lovely and memorable I definitely didn’t just name the thing incorrectly twice.

I didn’t see these comments last night – now Stephen’s entrance talking about “upstairs” makes so much more sense.

I want to see BAffleck’s speech! Why can I not find it anywhere?
