Tonight, Never Mind Pop Film is blogging the Oscars live.
The big talk of the 85th Academy Awards will definitely be whether Argo continues to steamroll into a write-in win for Best Director. Daniel Day-Lewis could make history tonight if he wins Lead Actor for the third time. Also looking to make history is Amour actress Emmanuelle Riva who is poised to become the oldest winner for Best Actress, but in order to so she will have to fend off Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain. The big question tonight will be what wins Best Picture (the last four years, the winner was a given going into the evening, but tonight is a toss-up).
Tonight is my first attempt at doing this, so here goes nothing...
Seth MacFarlane is doing well thus far. He already made Tommy Lee Jones laugh. Still, taking no prisoners.
And there goes his goodwill...
Captain Kirk! Where was he when James Franco co-hosted?
So no Muppets version of Flight then? Bummer.
Best Supporting Actor
Christoph Waltz
Cool! Nice to see that the Academy doesn't make a big deal about winning recently.
Best Animated Short
Paperman
Best Animated Feature
Brave
"So you got nominated for something a 9 year old can do?"
The Avengers assemble to not piss of Samuel L. Jackson.
Best Cinematography
Life of Pi
Best Visual Effects
Life of Pi
That cut-off was a little harsh. Congratulations on the Life of Pi team and Rhythm and Hues anyway.
Best Costume Design
Anna Karenina
Best Make-Up and Hairstyling
Les Miserables
Skyfall wasn't nominated for Best Picture, but here's the attention Bond deserves.
Best Live Action Short
Curfew
Best Documentary Short
Inocente
Any films plugged with Liam Neeson's voice has an excellent chance to win.
"When the Levee Breaks". Best song ever, yes?
Best Documentary Feature
Searching for Sugar Man
Best Foreign Film
Amour
I don't think anyone anticipated the director of Funny Games would win an Oscar for a romance.
Thank you, John Travolta, keep on dancing.
Damn, Jennifer Hudson. Just damn. I feel bad that Les Miserables has to follow her performance.
Best Sound Mixng
Les Miserables
Best Sound Editing
Zero Dark Thirty/Skyfall
Where are the Von Trapps! Well done, MacFarlane, well done.
Best Supporting Actress
Anne Hathaway
Best Editing
Argo
Argo's first win of the evening, Les Mis and Life of Pi lead the pack with two each thus far.
I always wondered where winners put their Oscars for the rest of the show. Thanks, Christoph Waltz.
Best Production Design
Lincoln
There's Lincoln's first win for the night.
D.A. Pennebaker, you rock.
A nicely done In Memoriam.
Best Score
Life of Pi
Life of Pi pulls ahead with 3, is an upset coming with director and picture?
Best Original Song
Adele - Skyfall
Best Original Screenplay
Quentin Tarantino - Django Unchained
Best Adapted Screenplay
Chris Terrio - Argo
Best Picture rarely wins without screenplay. Will the Argo train continue?
I really thought that the Academy wouldn't touch the script for Django Unchained with a ten foot pole. Too much controversy didn't bother them apparently.
Best Director
Ang Lee - Life of Pi
Keeping my fingers crossed that picking Life of Pi as Best Picture pans out. Ang Lee looks psyched.
Best Actress
Jennifer Lawrence
Grace under pressure, she earned that Oscar.
Best Actor
Daniel Day-Lewis
Such an amazing lineup for Best Actor, there is literally no way they could go wrong. Meryl Streep didn't even need to look.
That's a record, congratulations, Mr. Day-Lewis, even if you were second choice behind Streep.
Best Picture
Argo
And let the conspiracy theories about George Clooney and the White House begin.
That's a night folks, drive safe and enjoy everything the movies have to offer in 2013!
