Watch Oscars online?

cosgrove80 · 2008-02-24 18:18:47

I don't have Sky Movies and I can't find the Oscars listed anywhere else. I know RTE and Sky One are showing highlights tomorrow but I'm just wondering is there anywhere that will be streaming them live? Doubt there is though.

The picture seems to be stalling a bit, esp. during Steve Carrell+Anne Hathaway,

Is it stalling much with channelsurfing.net?

BTW: They must have changed the order this year, as normally the first award went to The Best Supp. Actress didnt it?

No prob with the feed.

Jon Stewart doing a good job so fat - nice gag re Cate Blanchett's range of roles

Amy Adams's song was woeful

Javier Bardem wins - Quelle surprise

Nice dig re the amount of time.

Surprised Golden Compass beat Transformers for Best Visual Effects - a snub in the direction of Mickael Bay by D'academy perchance?

Some might enjoy http://blogs.oscar.com/ - a blog from back stage

Any reviews I saw of it were shockingly dire

RE Bardem getting picked - probably most people reckoned PSH's so good he will be nominated numerous other times in the future - also Charlie Wilson's War might have been a bit right-wing for D'Academy

How fupping nuts is Tilda Swinton - man twould be fun if more people from her planet came to visit planet Earth. Class speech.

RE - The Golden Compass - thought the film might be punished for flooping box office wise - thought the effects were better than Transformers and much better than POTC but the technical categories are always tricky to nail

Yeah I noticed the announcer lady messing up myself.

Shame about Saoirse. If Day-Lewis wins will it be regarded as an Irish or British success I wonder?

No harm about Saorise really - best part at her age would be to be nominated - seems like her career is in decent shape i.e she's shooting The Lovely Bones w Peter Jackson at the mo

What did the Cohen say about Cormac McCarthy in their acceptence speech. Given a lot of the final script was a copy-and-paste job from the book he should have been up there with them

At least she won the IFTA?!

Cotillard I think. Yeah she's gorgeous. Did it look to anyone else like Cate Blanchett thought she had won? I thought she jumped up and then realised she hadn't won. Unless she was really over-acting her excitement for Cotillard!
